Re:TikTok CEO Kevin Mayer to leave the company on Thursday August 27, 2020 @06:40AM (#24292214)
Why it should probably be the President initially is a much longer answer, but as far as only targeting specific businesses the answer boils down to not every Chinese businesses being viewed as a problem. If you only view certain companies or industries as strategically significant at the moment then why would you want to ban the rest? That just drives prices for imported goods higher while accomplishing nothing of value.
Re:Portland passes low-density zoning reform on Thursday August 27, 2020 @06:15AM (#24292043)
I'm not sure this scans. It would be true if the only regulations that applied were the ones being discussed but Portland goes out of its way to avoid large apartment buildings in many neighborhoods and they have a vendetta against building roads that aren't shit for some reason. If you removed all relevant regulations you wouldn't see the kind of buildings the article is praising you'd see large apartment buildings and suburbs sprawling jnto the woods. Good on Portland for doing something about the situation I guess but it's hard to feel impressed when they created the problem in the first place.
