But the reversal is hard, and potentially impossible, so they will hazard the short term slings and arrows (for instance, Tesla sales in western Europe are way down the last several months) because the medium to long term result is worth it.
Whatever TCF destroys in the next 4 years will take 8 or 12 or 20 to rebuild, if ever. Much will be irreversible, which is what they want.
