I’d be happy if the VCs responsible for this bubble died penniless, but I’ll take them losing a lot of money

Oof, that DEAL act thingy looks gross.

Is there any reporting on it? I can’t find literally any article beyond the raw text.

Developing and Empowering our Aspiring Leaders (DEAL) Act
That can’t possibly be the actual name of that thing. It sounds like something out of North Korea. The fuck are these people smoking?

It’s something of a tradition to occasionally frankenstein together a backronym for bills/acts. Feel free to search “worst US backronyms” or similar for more!

@swlabr @mii One of the most notorious is the USA PATRIOT Act - Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act. Really.
Its counterpart in UK legislation is the Terrorism Act 2000, which manages to be both more informative and much, much shorter.
