When business travelers and wealthy tourists start to really be inconvenienced, Democrats will cave on any policy stance.

Don’t know why I didn’t realize it before but Republicans care about power, whereas Democrats care about money. Similar but slightly different.

Republicans would be the smarter of those two arrangements, as they're demonstrating today.

Power > Money. With power, you can change the rules of money, like they're doing right now.
