TIL the cloth on the back of an airplane seat/chair is called an “antimacassar”, named for Macassar hair oil that pretty much all men used in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It stained fabrics easily, so these cloths could be removed and washed.

Section 174 made it 5x more expensive to hire tech workers. That’s a senseless policy *they* instituted and now they’re using the negative effects of their own policies to justify hurting immigrants. Disgusting all around
