Regarding the MECs vote against memrat.

This TA had several quirks in the surrounding circumstances.

Here's just one:

a little memory rat brain teaser.

Let's say this TA went to memrat. Would you demand to know if the personal drop pilots were protected and made whole? Would you vote for the TA if they were not?

Ok. So let's say they were protected. In writing.
Let's say memrat happens extremely fast. It takes 30 days. (more realistically 45 or 60)

What could possibly go wrong?
