That's because I should've been more specific - on a spectrum of harmful-> neutral-> beneficial, I'd take neutral over harmful.
The president shouldn't be in the news for advertising Goya beans in the oval office. He shouldn't be conducting diplomacy in 180 characters or less on Twitter. Much of the appeal for the last administration was that he was considered "accessible" due to constantly being in the news, to no real benefit to the American people besides entertainment/feeding the media cycle. It was exhausting to wake up and hear the next mockery of the country on a daily basis.
Biden fucked up the railway unionizing, it's true, but I'd take not hearing about fuckups on the daily over the opposite.
The people crushing machine is still running at full bore, Biden is not neutral. You are not neutral. You support the system of the most incredible violence ever created
Yeah, good, ok. You have enough wealth and privilege that you can ignore politics and go back to brunch now that Biden is in office. Neat. Good for you.
The most obvious one is that my partner is going to have to start paying down his student loans again. We don't really have the money for that. But, sucks to be us, I guess!
Biden waving his hands to forgive debts is a one-off that only helps a specific batch of folks. For me personally, I'd rather he start an investigation into why college tuitions are so high in the first place, but I don't know if that's actually within the presidents power, and if anything actionable can come out of it.
thanks for sticking up for me Jack. It means a lot. Where do these people get off thinking i have the power to do anything? Its like Strom Thurman used to tell me, these uppity.. uh. I mean we had civility then, no joke. Ah... uh i shouldn't have said that.

So how has federal politics affected you?

Anyway, I hope they didn't spoil your brunch.
