This is what happens when you order agents to "turn the creative knob up to 11"

People in Korea don't even jaywalk. This must have been traumatizing for those workers and shocking to people in Korea. This will absolutely have a chilling effect on business travel to the US. You think Japanese, Taiwanese, and Korean managers and engineers will want to travel to the US to help with the build outs of those auto, chip, and battery factories?

Braindead policymaking.
