6. This has gotten really dumb

And frankly I am annoyed at Biden for this move.

I am part of a community that relies heavily on TT for small business reasons. There has been a lot of stress about people losing income sources over the past weeks and months.

With that said, I absolutely support the ban for national security reasons.

What I think is sh*tty is the TT community being yanked around. Told it's going away. Oh.. now Biden isn't going to enforce it? So, if you weren't going to enforce it, Joe, you never should have signed the bill in the first place.

And so what, now Trump swoops in and saves TT and becomes the hero for a bunch of young people and small business owners who earn money from this platform? Seriously, does Joe have no advisors that could tell him how this could backfire?

I am all for shutting it down, but I think yanking people around is a crappy thing to do. Shut it down or don't, but quit playing with people.
