The GoP doesn't give a shit about people on snap but the mega donors like walmart that get like 25% of that Snap spending is a very different matter. The business class was also throwing a fit at the state of flights. The GoP was absolutely going to blink in a couple more weeks at the rate it was going, albeit for all the wrong reasons.

Agreed. Dems were so close and just had to hold out a little bit longer
 
I think it was fair to assess that no amount of pain was going to get Rs to relent on ACA subsidies. Shut down air travel? Ok. Ruin the holidays? Sure. Millions starve because SNAP is off? Why not. These people eat the misery of their fellow Americans like its cheesecake.

The reason why I think this is that the crux of the fight is their insistence to double or triple health insurance premiums on like 25M people at once. A certifiably insane demand from a political perspective given where their president and party stand in surveys and what was happening in elections. They don't have the sense to yank their hand off the stove and were instead reveling in the growing smell of burnt flesh. This, to me, did not indicate a party willing to cave soon even though they should have been dying to make a deal.

Well atleast it will be past the peak travel time so don’t have to worry about the air traffic controllers as much

Always think on the bright side of life

But we would have gotten the filibuster killed off. Which the Democrats couldn't live with since it allows them to pass the buck for why they aren't responsive to their voters.

Shipping and logistics says hi.
It may not be a lot, but the value is immense. People will care.
Also... SNAP. Everybody has a problem when that runs short.

Google AI Slop:
Air freight accounts for a tiny fraction (around 1%) of global shipping by weight/volume, but carries a huge chunk (30-35%) of total trade value, moving high-value, time-sensitive goods like electronics, perishables, and medicines because it's the fastest method, despite being much more expensive than ocean freight​

It gives a LOT since most important stuff goes by air, specially bussiness. This is gonna be funny to see.
 
Looks like Senator Whitehouse is introducing a bipartisan bill to remove section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. Get ready for the lawsuits.
