I understand TPU's policy of not talking politics and agree with it, in general. However, every now and then, politics impacts directly on the technology that we talk about on here, such as this article:

In such a situation however, the politics of the situation is integral to the story, since it's caused it, so I think people should be allowed to talk about it, eg Trump's policies etc. In this case, it's Trump's controversial government shutdown adversely affecting CES. Not allowing it is ignoring the elephant in the room. Therefore, perhaps a slight revision to this forum rule is in order to allow politics discussion in the context of the specific story.
Let's have your opinion on this people, especially @W1zzard
