  • When Republicans obstructed under Obama, it looked like a Republican shutdown because Obama intended to reach bipartisan compromise, they just didn’t want him to accomplish anything of value.

    This looks like a Republican shutdown because Trump announced at the beginning that they would NOT negotiate with Democrats at all and they should just vote for the Republican bill “just because”.

    This is the only time the Democrats have had leverage during the second Trump administration, so Trump needed to find some concessions to get their votes, and instead announced that he would give none. That’s why this is the Trump shutdown.




  • This is an interesting move especially since he’s so buddy buddy with the tech CEOs.

    I’m curious what these exceptions are and whether they already know how to exploit them.

    I’ve never liked seeing tech companies abuse the H1B process, but I always thought it was better than outsourcing.

    At least with H1B, you’re competing against someone who has to pay rent and taxes and grocery prices in the US.

    If they don’t also tariff outsourcing, companies could just do more of that.
