Two bills were passed with zero Republican votes in 2021 and 2022 by Democrats, the repeal could've been included in either if democrats wanted. > As stated above, it was 14 to 13 by party lines in this committee, and that's a

That wasn't a clean bill, it had a bunch of other stuff in it, 86 pages long. Democrats could've passed a bill that only included the repeal of the R&D changes, which they didn't coz they didn't want to. Edit: rate l

Why wouldn't you also blame the Democrats though? They had the chance to repeal it before it would have taken effect. Why do they get zero blame on here?

It had Republican support so it would've gotten the 60 votes in Senate without needing to get reconciliation. It didn't even get a vote because the Democrats stopped it from proceeding with their control of the Senate. Their polic

Only 25% of Democrats want TikTok banned vs 38% of republicans, it's the opposite of a coup with the President siding with the opposing party. Politicians of all colors are reading the room. Not hearing Democrat politicians calling for

Congress can pass a bill immediately removing the TikTok exception and also criminalizing the App store. Are even Democrats calling for TikTok to be immediately banned? All this feels so bizarre as how something that absolutely no one in re

No, they don't even mention that TTS hired 150 new employees just in the past year. It's all one sided partisan biased clickbait and FUD, just like all their stories. It's not journalism meant to inform.

Yes it's almost impossible to fire govt employees like you say, which is why many get away with doing the bare minimum, if that. That's natural human tendency. If fired, they can appeal to the MSPB and then file lawsuits, as a man

Tesla doesn't even have a PR team because Musk is cheap and Musk totally pays me(a highly paid DevOps/SRE btw) to astroturf by offering me 7 figures! Please get a grip on reality.

Biden held an EV summit in 2021 and didn't invite Tesla. He declared GM's Mary Barra as the pioneer of EVs when GM had only manufactured 28 EVs that quarter and Tesla sold hundreds of thousands that were all manufactured in the US
