  completely befitting the idiot he is. mr sharpie guy. he would be the first to game his own rule. just pick two random ones, copypaste into the new one, repeal the old ones, and enact the new one. yaay. procedurally, formally, technically correct! > the best commits are ones where you delete more lines than you add... then you end up with trivial perfection, nothing whereas the real life zen is accepting imperfections, and still working to decrease them, to converge on some better goal. sure, law is web 0.1, it would be good to refactor it, but the main problems are not the number of laws. just as you can't (oughtn't?) measure code by lines, you can't do with laws. arguably many narrow laws might be even better than a few super vague ones, etc

  He also wanted to outlaw immigration from Muslim countries. When he found out that was neither legal nor possible, he zeroed out quotas for worker visas, such as H1 & H2. And also zeroed out quotas of many immigrant visas such as EB1-3. Over 4 years that was about 2 million worker visas that were not issued. The media outrage over the "worker shortage" or "quiet quitting" should instead have been directed at the orange dude who made it impossible to import workers. When things were shut down due to covid, it was hardly noticeable. But now, blame gets flung in all the wrong places.
