From my perspective outside the US, it was a big story in 2013, but now that it happens every few years, it's "nothing new, the US doing its usual political ritual". Same for the debt ceiling / impending default every few years.

I'm a SWE, and the one colleague I've seen get a non-negligible productivity boost from it uses it as a kind of "accessibility" tool to offset the effects of their neurodivergent condition.

EU and the US imposed direct sanctions on russia back in 2022, but those are not good enough as russia just sells its oil to China and India instead. As a Ukrainian, I'm rooting for secondary sanctions - those can save lives. The caveat is that I doubt he'll do it - TACO.

As a language learner, I'm happy that they choose to document "irregardless" and all the other WORDS that are controversial and maybe incorrect but commonly used.
