The plan would affect people from countries, including the UK, who can fill out a form in lieu of a visa.

Banana Republic? I wasn't even aware that brand was still around but I'm really confused how that relates to anything... What did I miss? Guessing they supported Trump?

It is not a fruit company.

[–] xtools@programming.dev 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

the term doesn't refer to a company in this context

it's more about Trump being a textbook Tropico dictator (Tropico is a game btw)

I had no idea there were alternate meaning. Now I'm going to have to find out if the company named itself after that, and if so why...

Got to learn something today!
