I've been to West Virginia. They have a huge Buffout, Psychotats, and Carry Weight Booster problem for sure. -- nm - Qale Dec 20, 08:24
Yeah, like I said on B2, he's really weird about this. - Inigo Dec 20, 08:10 7
- That’s exactly what this is, yeah. - znufrii, boosted Dec 20, 08:19 4
  - Yeah, you're probably right. I do think he suddenly starts negotiating when it expires Dec. 31st. Or shortly thereafter. -- nm - Inigo Dec 20, 08:22 3
    - He’s said my IM outright, iinm, so this shouldn’t be a surprise. He’s also said $0 was an acceptable number for BBB. -- (edited) - znufrii, boosted Dec 20, 08:25 2
      - I think the fact that Goldman Sachs lowered they're US growth estimates based on his rejection may give some leverage to change the narrative. -- nm - pmb Dec 20, 08:29 1

- It's positive action vs negative action - Reagen Dec 20, 08:15 1
  - I think he's in the pocket of corporate interests who fear tax hikes, but he's using inflationary pressure to sell it. He's wrong, but that doesn't - pmb Dec 20, 08:20
I think he's also still mad that VP Harris went to WV months ago without asking his permission -- nm - ty97 Dec 20, 08:06
