Hardly. It even had a unanimous supreme court decision to uphold the ban. The ban had bipartisan support up until what’s his name started jerking everyone around.

Legally, this is all well-covered ground with the Grindr divest or ban law that was wrapped up the week before COVID lockdowns started. So most people forgot about it.

Because there’s money involved, 47 wants to spin everyone around in hopes of ByteDance changing their mind and selling to one of his tech bro campaign funders so that big financial benefits from knowing the president can stay in day 1.

The thing is it’s all clever inside baseball references, not intentional.

It sort of detracts from the magic to rationally think about Friends, X-Files, Seinfeld, and Buffy all being in a shared universe. Vampires LOVE New York.

“Yes, you see, as a country we are barely holding our shit together. We can’t even figure out how money works anymore. Our power grid is…aspirational at best. Our most notable exports are oil, emails, and Nigerians running from this place. But you see, if we join BRICS, it definitely means you all are awesome, and so are we.”

Well, to be fair, a kleptocracy is a poverty mindset applied to wannabe plutarchs or oligarchs. Oligarchy is the DEI version of Plutocracy because it’s not just wealth based. Edit:/s
