  • So Infrastructure Bill gives $65 billion to companies monopolies… yet, they’ve ran out of money for ACP:

    Does these companies actually use the money to expand broadband?

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2022/10/25/broadband-subsidies-coronavirus-aid/ https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/02/isps-keep-giving-false-broadband-coverage-data-to-the-fcc-groups-say/

    It gives $110 billion for roads, bridges and other major projects… and a bridge that spans just 0.67 miles costing 10 billion dollars and construction expecting to take 10 years. So, we’re talking maybe 10 small bridges, as the costs keep increasing.

    The antitrust thing is a good start, but Biden has gave too much leniency to the courts which the higher courts were stacked by Trump. Unless Biden were to do something about the Supreme Court, like most cases… Big business and corporate donors will prevail.

    Same with student loan forgiveness. It is a good start, but it has been overturned time and time again in the courts. Furthermore, it doesn’t deal with how majority of companies who are now “paying” for school for employees and then owning them for a long duration despite poor and unsafe working conditions. Biden has largely failed on improving employment & benefit legislation which has been broken.

    Marijuana decriminalization: Marijuna is still illegal under federal law and has not yet been decriminalized. His change in classification would not actually decriminalize it under federal law.

    General economic direction: Have you looked at housing prices recently? Biden’s economy benefits the wealthy and hurts the middle and lower class workers. Inflation has increased significantly above wages.




  • He’s done okay for someone who has compromised with Republicans to give them concessions in order to get legislation passed. His stance on Israel has been detrimental to his campaign. He’s taken on some easy wins like marijuana reclassification. There is a lot of issues with current legislation that hurts middle-class workers still that he hasn’t done anything about. People face these issues regularly in the workforce, which doesn’t build trust. He hasn’t done enough to ensure a win against Trump, and the polls show that.
