I'm still trying to digest this, and I'm shocked there isn't more immediate media attention given to the matter.

I'm starting to panic that I'll be out of business just six months into this game! I'm not sure what to do next... if I stop all incoming then that would alert my clients to a bad vibe. If I keep taking it in, then I'm opening myself up for world of hurt. I'm about 2/3 clothes, but the gear/toys are my most in-demand items (1/3 of the shop!).

Business is slow right now, but this law would put it at a halt, that's for sure.
