Your quote reminds me of this for some reason.
"I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don't want to do that."
As far as the possible implications of the Ex Order. They tend to broadly interpret the law as far as what they can do, and strictly interpret the law when it comes to what the peons can do.
