The fact is nobody knows the future but it is extremely naive to think that they'll turn around and give us what we want in a couple weeks. It is far more realistic that it will take 1+ years and we'll end up with something similar or worse and they will love to keep operating under the current TA (jokes on us). Maybe you disagree. If so, that is the case you should be making. What's the path forward?

My opinion is that our leverage has peaked and will be going down rapidly. My #1 hobby and all of my free time for the past 6 years has been spent studying money, economics, and markets. And while I might not know who won the last superbowl series ball game thing, I like to think I can speak for hours about where the United States is heading from an economic perspective and this is why I would emphatically vote yes (if I had a vote, I'm new).

I could be wrong. You can certainly disagree. But if you "NO" people want to make a case, the case should be on what your path forward is. You need to convince me that I will have more money in my pocket 5 years from now if this gets voted down. I believe STRONGLY that this is not the case and we will regret a NO vote. Now bring on the personal attacks (because arguing on merit is too hard).
I have the same problem. I just can’t get behind a no vote. Everyone has a price for everything. I guess real trip trade and more awesome reserve costs about 8.6 billion for me.

No one knows what will happen if we vote no. The company could come back quickly like the OP claims. Or they could tell us to F off for another year. Whatever we get would have to be epic to make it worth not having the 2 billion over the next year.

It’s an easy, ****ed off and disappointed yes for me.
