The maneuver was a tacit acknowledgment of how politically toxic the issue had become for their party, and another example of how the all-Republican Congress is ceding its power to the executive branch.
In this case, Republican leaders did so using a particularly unusual contortion: They essentially declared the rest of the year one long day, nullifying a law that allows the House and Senate to jointly put an end to a disaster declared by the president.
Looks like he’s having trouble getting it up.

I got 80% out of the S&P last weekLooks like he’s having trouble getting it up.
That would explain the billionaire's media printing stuff like this:
No but R and USA could be disastrous buddies. For the rest of the planet.
I literally sat in yet another meeting yesterday, in which a significant chunk of business might go away because a large percent of the raw material is mined in Canada, and there is uncertainty if it will continue to be available at the same prices.
So much winning.

Move what where? You can't just pick up a bunch of businesses and deposit them somewhere else. You have localized customer bases, knowledge bases of employees, invested capital...The one thing I'm starting to wonder and maybe CEO's are too.. wouldn't it be better to just move out of the US to Canada or Luxembourg and deal with standardized EU requirements?
Heck even Canada was thinking of applying to be part of the EU.

5D chess...Yea most companies can't just pull up stakes. What they can do, especially the larger multinationals, is invest future capital in other places with more predictable regulatory regimes. Outcome is that prices go up in the US, go down elsewhere, and we loose out on economic growth compared to the rest of the world.

The techbros and hedge fund idiots thought that money just magically appeared in the US and that the government was some sort of parasite. They've never understood that the government creating a stable economic environment was the reason behind it all. Just complete, utter fucking idiocy.Capital inflows to the US are for cucks apparently.
The techbros are idiots. The hedge fund guys will take a quick profit and then shift the money offshore for higher returns. They only care about short term profits.The techbros and hedge fund idiots thought that money just magically appeared in the US and that the government was some sort of parasite.

No, the hedge fund guys are idiots because they lack the understanding that the money only has value because we have a system that protects property and creates a stable economic environment. Their short-term, myopic thinking is just another form of idiocy.The techbros are idiots. The hedge fund guys will take a quick profit and then shift the money offshore for higher returns.

The government did bail them out, and they made billions while everyone else lost. Not so stupid when you see the outcome.Reminder that the tech brains caused a run on their own bank two years ago because they are stupid and immediately screamed at the government to save them from their own total incompetence.
