War on principals. He's the champion of I've Got Mine, and it's terrifying how many people think they want what he's selling.

Awww I was going to make a "That's just what Yar looks like now" joke but you fixed it

I'm glad you confirmed that, but I'd be utterly surprised if it was any other reason.

It's one of those cruel ironic twists. Wages actually have increased, but inflation has far outpaced them.

It's only barely begun to level back out. The real question is if the wages will stay high once inflation (and greedflation) calms the fuck down.

if you're actually interested, even the considerable powers granted in a state of emergency are defined by laws passed by Congress:

It seems very likely that this uncharacteristically conservative move was calculated to produce these results. The house won't pass any pro immigration laws, so letting the SC strike this down would let the administration essentially leave things where they were and say "can't do anything else oh well", effectively removing the topic from election discourse and putting the ball firmly in the Republican court, who won't be able to get anything past the Senate.
