You like the status quo because you, just like me, are living the socialist dream. Government takes care of all our needs and we pretty much lack for nothing.

I enjoy it too! But pull your head out of the sand and take a look around! It's un-sustainable. We can no longer pretend that life is just going to be hunky dory and we never have to address any of the above issues. Climate change is real. Sea level rise is real. Plastic pollution is killing our seas and fisheries. Emissions are changing the atmosphere and warming the planet. There is nowhere in the United States where minimum wage will pay for room and board. Everybody is in debt up to their asses...and that was before the pandemic hit.

All those things can't be implemented at once, but maybe one of them could be...?

Nawp. Not even one of them...Biden's job is going to be filling all the jobs that Trump simply hasn't bothered to fill. He has let entire departments shrivel to nothing because he has no interest in them. He places a crony at the top and let's them decimate the whole thing. Our state department is in shambles and the post office headed that way quickly. The environmental protection agency has become the enemy of the environment...

So for Biden it's all gonna be a bunch of hiring and firing for a long time. Harris should be well equipped to handle most of that, she's a ruthless super-cop.

But that's all at the top executive level. What's going to be happening in the legislative sense after the election and assuming Democrats take over.

With a Democratic senate the house will be able to draft bills and see them through the senate rather than an ignominious death on the Leaders desk.

I suspect the cojones with which they drafted bills they knew would never see the light of day will shrivel and they will not be so bold.

I don't see much on the legislative front because Biden hasn't stood for anything or championed any cause except a partisan victory.

He's a labor unionist in a post union world.


Good coffee, good weed, and time on my hands...
