mass arrest -> leads to questions about why 1000's of young couples are being arrested due to them not wanting to pay mortgages on houses they can't move into for years, and has no construction progress (the construction is abandoned), and this is a contagion that will lead to another city starting to rebel, leading to more mass arrests. Not talking about 1 or 2 people, but thousands.
vs.
the central government is taking care of the people by forcing a company into bankruptcy so they can't take advantage of people anymore.
The 2nd is the better narrative. That's what they picked. Doesn't make sense, but is what happened.
