NPR will probably respond to this by hiring 50 republicans and still get defunded

They were one of the three House Republicans that voted for the Pro Act, the vast minority position among the party, which at least makes it interesting that they were picked, who knows how they will actually operate though

 

One reason to do something like this would be if you were planning to disrupt the international supply chain by perhaps putting tariffs on China, keeping local unions happy to the point where they would not jump on a chance to strike during a supply chain disruption would be an effective way to minimize the adverse effects of tariffs and wars for that matter.

You could also just read this as an appeal to union members who voted for Trump to keep them a part of the Republican coalition.

Everyone would need to pack their own meals and bring their own tents to sleep in, most modern armies top out at a million people, imagine trying to coordinate anything with 100 million people, Tokyo has 40 million people and is the biggest city in the world, it would be logistically impossible on so many different levels

I'm guessing this is from consumer pressure, until the Switch people definitely bought more physical copies of games and the minority of people got digital versions of DS/Wii-U games, but now so many people are using nintendo online and buying virtual copies people probably would not buy the next console if they had to buy the games they liked again.
