  A. It's not about politics. B. There's no current requirement that posts on the front page be apolitical.

    An article whose subject is literally about the political controversy around giving public tax money to private corporations, and quotes a variety of political action groups, not to mention city and state political leaders, doesn't qualify as "about politics"? The guidelines clearly state "Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic." They've covered this on TV news, a lot.

      This is an article about how giant tech firms drive politics, and the guidelines state only that "most" articles about politics are not welcome. It is not a blanket ban and I think it's an interesting and relevant discussion to be having.

        It's not about how "giant tech firms" drive politics, it's about how businesses drive politics. Lots and lots of businesses that are not "giant tech firms" impose themselves on the political process to receive tax credits.
