The title here is misleading. This is not a bet by WallStretBets, it's an unrelated project. (Also the guidelines ask to use the original title <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html</a> )<p>Also, the government permits can be printed out of thin air. If the government sees that the permits are not used, they can just pass an "emergency" act or something and create more.
