MODERATORS
I have to do stuff and stop procrastinating eventually, so I don't think I'll be giving you a top ten, but here's a few that I know of:
Banned non-compete agreements, which is a really good thing for workers.
Started investing into rebuilding the US' passenger rail network, including establishing or investigating multiple HSR initiatives across the US (Atlanta to Raleigh, several hooking into Chicago, TXRail, etc), several new or restored medium range Amtrak routes, and money to help cities start new or expand existing transit networks. The US was built on railroads, there's just no excuse for how we've allowed passenger rail to languish for 100 years and just ignored HSR for the last fifty. It's a big deal, and there's a lot more to go, we can get into this more of you want.
The Biden administration is dolling out a billion dollars to support freeway removal initiatives across the US, to bring cities back together and reduce redlining by infrastructure.
Student Loan Forgiveness: doesn't fix the root cause, but it's a baby step in the right direction. It's more than students have got in a long time.
IIRC, Biden ended the policy of seperating kids from their families at the border. He's left A LOT to be desired here, but at least he stopped the cartoon villain levels of cruelty.
There's more that I can't think of ATM. If I want to procrastinate some more, I'll look them up.
I want to be clear, though, while we need much much more aggressive action, Biden's has probably been the most effective presidency in the last 20 years. Which is kind of sad, tbh, but I'll take what I can get.
Started the process on building half a mile of rail by 2050. Meanwhile China is laying track like it's going out of style
Literally has done nothing, whatsoever, you're living in an alternate reality where the democrats didnt use the parliamentarian as an excuse to avoid doing something
No he fucking hasn't you fucking blueMAGA moron, christ
Hey you know what Biden DID do?
He lied about sending out $2k stimulus checks and only sent out a portion and said "uh that's in ADDITION to what Trump gave you"
He pressed the "covid is over" button 2 years into a pandemic which is still ongoing, directly impacting me at the time by cutting my food stamps by $240 a month to $23. Thanks Joe! And I still got covid, twice
He's still facilitating genocide in Gaza which he could stop literally right this moment
Eat shit blueMAGA
Again. Chill the fuck out.
they are well within their right to be angry
No they aren't. Over some slop some nobody wrote on the internet?
Stop procrastinating on reading theory and not being a liberal dweeb
Didn't the courts strike this down literally last week?
I didn't realize this when I wrote that. Good catch.
