It seems inefficient to have two people in charge of an agency. Wouldn't it be more efficient to not even create a new agency and just have Trump make these determinations? Otherwise you're creating more bureaucracy to eliminate o

Re: libraries, one sad thing that's happening in some US states is that smaller libraries are becoming "adult only" because of new state laws regarding how they organize their collections [1]. In cities like New York, budget

Mitt Romney has also said the TikTok ban was in part due to support for Palestinians in the current Gaza war[1]. So it seems to be a bit of both: limiting Chinese influence and trying to control the narrative about international conflict. [

It means "best regards". In Morse code transmissions, a lot of words and phrases are shortened to commonly understood abbreviations and pro-signs. You can see an example here: http://lidscw.org/resources/cq-qs

Shanghai to Beijing has a high speed line and no cities nearly as big as either of them between the two. Not to mention China's HSR network covers a number of cities over large distances. I think that'd be the better comparison to

China has WeChat and QQ (though WeChat is way more popular). Both are basically mini OSes at this point, with apps and other third party functionality able to be built on top of them. I'm not Chinese, but use both of these apps to stay
