Good = Boring = No Corporate News Story

All of these things definitely were in the news, of course. They just don't STAY in the news, and the public memory hole works fast.

Biden has made significant progress for the average person during his presidency, which is disheartening given the potential for even greater impact. It seems he knows that simply meeting basic expectations will be enough to outdo previous leaders.

If only politics were about policy and not popularity.

But they did make headlines, that's how we know about these. The FTC and FCC doing their job more is good and makes headlines.

It's good, don't get me wrong. But man it feels like table scraps compared to a lot on what Biden ran on in 2020.

Expanding internet access in rural areas with the Build Back Better plan. That alone was a massive investment into our infrastructure.

Meanwhile: "Good isn't perfect, so fuck that and fuck you."

Too many people are all too ready to say that improvement isn't enough, it has to be a perfect and complete solution or else what was the point.

Wait... no medical debt goes to your credit report? Is this a thing now or is it something he's working on?

Negotiating drug prices? How about making price gouging ILLEGAL? How about a world market price for drugs instead of a monopoly market in America?

I can go through the entire list like this. Trying to cheer for these crumbs is contortion at it's most contorting.

But it's BlUe mAgA which is why I support red maga winning! /s

All of these are reported in "corporate news."

This is the beauty of not consuming the MSM, you can believe it has reported on or not reported on whatever you want.

The problem with those is the maggat adherents in the repuglican ranks. Get rid of those and good things will happen

Capping credit card fees? At what, 25%?

35% APR, compounded DAILY?

What fees are we talking about? They're already cash-it-here high. It's there something worse than that? Is the president making their interest remain at a reasonable amount above prime?

Now THAT WOULD be a cap worth bragging about.

PS: How about cash-it-here, and title-loan, and buy-here-pay-here, and instant-refund tax preparers, and accident attorneys, and bail bonds, and pawn shops, and rent-a-centers, and dollar tree/dollar general, and all the other predatory bad-financial-decision institutions we allow to thrive in poverty-stricken areas?

We know what we're doing, and we just let that shit happen. Fuck us, we deserve whatever comes.

Wait is The medical one true?

Yet when the people ask to not be owned by corporations, to have medical care, to not commit genocide, that all falls on deaf ears.

When wall Street wants something done, Biden jumps to it.

These are all sticking little plasters on the giant gaping wound and saying that you fixed it

Thank you for allowing people with crippling medical debt to get more debt.

This is the help they didn't know they wanted

It's hard to follow these anti-capitalist bourgeoisie, when they fold themselves backwards for mere nuggets at every election cycle.

Negotiating drug prices for Medicare. That's a huge caveat, especially since this guy is tweeting this info out. Medicare is only available if you're over 65.

Like why lie?

Cherry picking 🍒

And those cherries are so small and juiceless.

Banning medical debt from credit reports

Negotiating drug prices

He's only able to do these because he opposes universal healthcare. He wants people to die of lack of access to healthcare (70,000 per year) or lack of insurance (45,000 per year). What do dead people, or people who can't afford to be diagnosed, or people who can't afford necessary procedures care about their credit reports or drugs they can't get prescribed? Why would anyone cheer a horribly policy?

As if the media aren't congratulating him enough on his "tough red line" for Israel's genocide that they somehow never break. Ever the victims, Democrats in power are.

Moderates:

Biden has no power, he's just a president!

Also moderates:

Look at these good things that happened while Biden was in office, he did this!

Biden:

Fuck congress, I'll go around them if it's something I want like supporting a genocide or violating human rights at our borders

Then why y'all so scared of Trump winning?

I'm not voting for genocide.
