Since when did a damn website have to be a "platform"? Did anyone ask to chat with Time Warner on the public AOL chatrooms of the 90s? Were Digg users interested in hearing from Blockbuster in the 2000s? Adobe could try to offer v

The White House can pressure red states to offer companies sweetheart deals so the President can take credit. If they refuse, he pulls his support for them come election time.

March 2028 is a long time away from now. Plenty of time for political haymaking before reality sets in. In 2017, Foxconn said they would move some production to Wisconsin, and that was enough to pick up $3bn in state tax breaks. 13,000 jo
