While Congress Squabbles over $2k, They Packed the Stimulus Bill with Pork

I would respectfully disagree. I think highlighting another instance of how convoluted and dysfunctional a lot of American legislation has become is quite revevant to technology particularly as large tech firms have come under increasing scrutiny for potential monopolistic behaviour. This is the government that could play a large role in shaping how technology and the internet evolve.

I definitely agree that issues like this can quite easily lead to rabble rousing but I definitely think it can be relevant.

This article was particularly bad. It treated ongoing foreign aid payments as somehow new and introduced in this bill. It's an omnibus bill because we need to pass something to keep gov programs going until we can do it all again in a few months.
