What could it mean? What's the "nightmare scenario" here? The US has had a significant trade deficit with China for decades.

Kneecapping decarbonization efforts in the name of "jobs" and "the economy" is just straight up Republican policy. I do not care how many jobs are preserved on my rapidly warming planet.
Because game devs have to pay their rent.
If they go off to form their own studio, they probably have to take out a business loan to pay themselves for the time being. Interest rates are high right now, and rent and food are both expensive. It's a huge gamble to make a game and put it out on the assumption you'll be able to pay back 6%+ interest on whatever you took out. Games are not a reliable money maker. Especially from new studios.
Even if you get some sort of deal with a publisher to fund your first endeavor, there will still be strings attached to that, and publishers are pretty tight with the purse strings right now.
Which means really the only viable option, assuming you're not already independently wealthy, is that you have to work another job to work on the game in the meantime, which means it will take even longer to come out.
It's an opinion piece. This isn't reporting. It says "Commentary" up at the top of the article.
I think you can "trust" when someone tells you that their opinion is actually their opinion. That's the only question of "trust" here.
There's an op-ed in the NYT right now titled At the Met Gala, Celebrities Are Nearly Nude. Are We Not Aroused? Do you trust that?
As usual, concern trolling about fire response and the conservative firefighters themselves standing in the way of making places for people.
My buddy calls them "naughty" bikes, as in "not e". I think it's cuter than acoustic.
No, 2022:
Here's McConnell saying to ignore it:
Here's the feds being cowards:

I think they tried to do that and Mitch McConnell told red states to ignore those rules and then the feds cowardly backed off.
Some of the blame lies at the feet of state DOTs that are still drawing up these projects. In Austin's case, I think the I-35 widening is basically being forced down the city's throat by a revanchist state government.
The largest grant is going to Portland for a freeway widening that has occasionally included a cap in the renders.
Austin's grant is going to a similar project.
The freeway widenings apparently must continue, but now they'll just come with caps in progressive cities.
He will sink it anyway. Not like Tories care about evidence-based policy anyway.
Control it how? The US is as close as anyone has come to being a global hegemon and even then they can only do so much to nuclear states.
