Oh I know, the whole communication space is cooked. I don't know if it was just bad PR or intentional manipulation but the concrete positive impacts of the Biden admin are so unknown its sad.

Don't forget the 10 prescription meds Biden negotiated MUCH lower prices for.

But hey, "Biden didn't do anything"

What's really funny about Trump winning Latino votes in Florida is that when surveyed, they went Trump for "the economy". So... my comment stands.

But yes as a Canadian, the results of the US election and the performance of the Democratic party are things I'll personally need to "look in the mirror" about.

Alternatively, I can appreciate how dumb American voters are, as 70 million of them vote to actively make their lives much worse. <3

Berkshire Hathaway had built up $300B in cash reserves - maybe Warren decided it was time to buy?

Eh... I'm sure that's the case for some people, but a lot of left and right wing people seem to think democracy=my ideas winning. Those people seem to think Trump winning is not reflective of the (very shitty) will of the people.

Yeah uh, I really really hate to say it, but... democracy worked this time. The voice of the people is "Trump please". Democracy just means you get what most people want, not what the best option is.

The US having ambitions to fight China will never stop being hilarious. in c/meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works

Man I thought this was a solid "thanks Obama" use given his weak defense of Crimea brought us directly to this point. Damn.

If the average case is 20 minutes and you saved 21 minutes doing a less good solution that still worked, you made the right choice.

Wanna make a difference? Get some of these stickers and slap em up everywhere. I've still got a few left over to put places.

Go to your city "public opinion" sessions on zoning and highway design. One of our new circumferential highways has the first inverted diamond because some radical urbanists sandbagged the public hearing. Showing up to these things can make a big impact.
