You congratulating them for talking about making technology? LOL If the US was a person:

This has a risk of backfiring. Leaving the effort to private industry (small startups) and slackening the regulations to design a reactor might lead to accidents.
Point was to show that there is substantial bipartisan cooperation in DC on a broad range of policy issues (generally technocratic ones with no ideological valence). There wasn’t much taking - it was very much an under the radar bill that passed that isn’t getting much media coverage
While chgough34 is off the mark (or wildly off the mark see "... perfect information..."), oftentimes, he (I assume "he" is the correct pronoun) does hold his grounds and proffer up informative, albeit not quite contextual, arguments some of the time. So I don't see the harm in him being able to express freely. I don't like the spamming of these pages nor the incessant scrolling I need to do, but I would tolerate that in exchange for letting anyone express oneself in a less than acceptable manner as long as they contribute positively overall.

The point is they love to talk and then pat themselves on the back, calling it a hard day's work.
Google the title "US Senate passes bill to support ‘next generation’ nuclear energy deployment" and see how many times it shows up. You're gonna be scrolling down for a good while before it drifts into something else. If that's not much talking or media coverage, it's probably because you've comparing it to more spicy stuff, like democrat vs republican open mud-slinging.
That's because with the level of mathematical literacy in the US, they can't count past the hundreds mark. "Dang, Cletus, you dun got a whole ton 'o money there. I reckon that's at least 2 hunnit or 2 million, whatever, only couple o' zeros so there ain't no difference."
What Cletus is holding:
Paycheck to paycheck numbers are all one needs to know about the frailty of the system.

lmao when pro-US members clown sleepystudent.
Passing new laws is the main function of Congress - the meme is “nothing ever gets done in Congress” but that is clearly inconsistent with Congress passing technocratic reforms in a bipartisan manner
Yeah - there isn’t any headline coverage and very limited TV coverage (where most people consume media) but you do have a ton of media agencies copy/paste an AP news wire on a dark corner of their site no one reads. Same story that happens with most of the reforms Congress does - be it the SECURE Act, the CURES Act, the Every Student Succeeds Act, the Postal Service Reform Act and similar. Specialist publications will cover it in depth, the news wires will write something up and that will get copied/pasted across tons of news orgs for articles no one will read.
The paycheck to paycheck numbers are meaningless since they include tautologies and highly inconsistent definitions (and living paycheck to paycheck couldn’t possibly explain the rise in assets of retail money market funds and savings deposits). US households simply do not live paycheck to paycheck if it is supposed to mean “no savings” or “highly financially distressed”; otherwise, it would be clearly inconsistent with the median household having money in transaction and brokerage accounts and households having substantial discretionary spending that they roll back during times of uncertainty.

Yup, that's all congress does. Blah blah blah blah blah, and the US started so far ahead of China a couple of decades ago China couldn't see America's dust and now China's 15 years ahead. That's like Congress getting negative things done with all the talking.
The first thing that comes up is Reuters. That's specialist now? LOL Blah blah blah, "I'm an American talking about not talking!" Keep falling behind.
No, everything you said is meaningless while paycheck to paycheck numebrs are everything despite minor differences in definition because financially healthy individuals (like the Chinese people talking to you on this forum) cannot be defined as paycheck to paycheck by any definition. You are trying wipe the slate clean for minor differences like whether anorexia is a BMI cutoff of 15.2 or 15.4; we're talking about sumos here.
