The cautious optimism is because a couple factors:
- Virginia is for all intents and purposes a southern state (just ask Blazor lol). Bible belt type stuff.
- If you've seen any news including Virginia politicians like Warner etc. or even going back to 2016 and Hillary choosing Kaine as her VP because apparently she thought she needed someone even more right-leaning than her then you'll realize what a pack of untrustworthy pricks they can be.
I simply don't trust the fuckers to do what they say they'll do until I actually see them doing it. All it would take is a big donor to decide for whatever reason (not happy with their cut of the new profits, maybe) they want to delay/kill the measure and we'll get fucked.
I don't have any concrete reason to doubt the implementation in 2024 but I also have zero confidence in Virginia politicians doing the right fucking thing for any reason other than their own enrichment.
So... optimistic, but cautiously.
