  value: Combines rhetorical emphasis ('obviously', 'biggest') with colloquial alarm ('nurfed') and omission of issuer statements to make uncertainty feel like precarity. The tension lies between the high-stakes framing of lounge access and the complete absence of any evidence that it’s under threat — the claim isn’t about what will happen, but about what hasn’t been said.
