    Truly, I think I'm scared for my country Zara. As for the global implications, my personal opinion, I don't think many other countries around to follow suit.

    I hope you are right, but I suspect we will see a decrease in EDI work.

    Blah, I am so deeply concerned also- I feel like we were just on the brink of a huge title wave of powerful change- I felt like we were getting mainstream society on board- and now feel like the rug has been pulled from under us.

    I also deeply believe in our resilience and our adaptability- I think it means re-doing a lot of work- but I also believe in us :)
