What progress could they possibly be thinking of?

And then there's the classic lib thought process that criticizing or not voting for Dems means voting for Trump.

    How much of that was the global economy recovering from the pandemic though?

      Remember the brutal dismemberment of the American journalist, when they "just asked questions"... with a bone saw? (then the entire floor of the hotel needed to be remodeled immediately thereafter)

      So the first opportunity Biden had to talk to the guy who ordered the...ah..."question session", he had a choice laid out before him. Say something about the murder and allow Republicans to use gas prices as the sole indicator of ThE eCoNoMy and take the House and/or Senate in the midterm elections, or keep quiet about it, and see them lowered. He opted for a middle ground approach by saying something about it, but the response was sth like "what was that, a fly buzzing by me? I could not hear you", at which point Biden dropped the subject. And gas stated flowing again, Repubs lost their major marketing campaign strategy, and life moved on. I'm not sure what I would have done in his place - it was a real-life trolly problem, for sure.

      Whatever else happened, and whatever else Biden has done, we know that he WORKED to lower gas prices. He sacrificed his ethics for them in fact. Who knows what Trump would have done in his place - probably he would have high fived the dude and thereby inadvertently started a war:-P.

        doubt i don't think you know Biden very well, if you think he had a meaningful code of ethics to sacrifice
