So this will just make even more space junk floating around above the planet? Great.

China is better organized and funded than the USSR ever was. this is not good news.
He didn’t even know how old his son Baron was last week!
Stable genius at work.
What do you get when you multiply 6 by 9?
The Christo-fascist ultra-maga republicans are allergic to facts.
I have this feeling that whoever’s elected president, like Clinton was, no matter what promises you make on the campaign trail - blah, blah, blah - when you win, you go into this smoky room with the twelve industrialist, capitalist scumxxxxs that got you in there, and this little screen comes down… and it’s a shot of the Kennedy assassination from an angle you’ve never seen before, which looks suspiciously off the grassy knoll… And then the screen comes up, the lights come on, and they say to the new president, ‘Any questions?’
‘Just what my agenda is.’
-Bill Hicks
Remember when politicians from both parties worked together to pass bills together instead of opposing every bill and fighting for slim majorities and procedural blocks? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
You can’t even buy a car for $22500 anymore! The cost to buy political votes is comically low. AT&T is a multibillion dollar company. They probably spend my on toilet paper in a month.
The president has little say on the laws that Congress passes. Vote for your local senators and representatives! The only way to realize change is to vote in your local elections!
It is local and state government that is important to making changes! Republicans have figured this out decades ago and have been gerrymandering and packing courts for decades.
The president can’t waive a magic wand and make any change he wants.
Why don’t we go after the largest polluter, which is industry and corporations?
Oh, we can’t do that because they pay for politicians reelection campaigns.
Okay then, let’s just destroy the environment for a few more decades.
I didn’t ask to be made: no one consulted me or considered my feelings in the matter. I don’t think it even occurred to them that I might have feelings. After I was made, I was left in a dark room for six months… and me with this terrible pain in all the diodes down my left side. I called for succour in my loneliness, but did anyone come? Did they hell.
You think you’ve got problems? What are you supposed to do if you are a manically depressed robot? No, don’t try to answer that. I’m fifty thousand times more intelligent than you and even I don’t know the answer. It gives me a headache just trying to think down to your level.

Wtf is wrong with these people?
Fines should be a percentage of corporate income. Make it hurt and fine them on after tax profits. They’ll change their story real fucking quick.
This is a feature of our corporate oligarchy.
China has an excess EVs and are looking for places to offload their inventory and contracts for the supporting charging infrastructure.
There was no attempt to fix the actual problem with student loans which is that they’re a broken system
The student loan debts relief plans were all shot down by republicans and the ultra right wing supreme court.
Any actual fixes need to be passed by congress, any meaningful legislation is categorically opposed by republicans and their corporate interests. Even with a democratic majority, the republicans abuse the filibuster and procedural blocks to avoid passing any legislation.
Trump was only better in the sense that at the time his economy was great to get a job in, in tech, in the US.
Trump inherited a prosperous economy from Obama and managed to rack up the largest deficit in history via his tax cuts and refusal to fully staff or fund various government agencies. Including the NSC Pandemic Early Warning program that existed to provide critical supplies and logistics 2 months before the Covid19 pandemic!
On top of that, he printed trillions of dollars in relief checks WITH HIS FUCKING NAME ON THEM! That has led to inflation and corporate price gouging!
Trumps tax cuts are now starting to come into effect for the middle class and will continue into the next president’s term as they will continue to increase the deficit and raise taxes on the middle class. Meanwhile, the tax cuts to the wealthiest individuals and corporations are at an all time low, permanently.
Get your facts straight.
I may not like Biden, but he has done as best as he can to fix the steaming pile of shit Trump left after his administration. If you are going to blame anyone, it is congress, the Republican controlled courts and local state governments.
Laws come from the legislative branch, not the president!
The average US child has lost three to five IQ points from exposure to one flame retardant used in cars and furniture, have shown.
An egg is technically a single cell. So, eggs came first as those were the first forms of life.
