        It has little to do with the state of infrastructure nationwide, but a major bridge in Baltimore collapsed and libs wanna talk about how great transport under the Biden admin is? Or, you know, the train derailments, the planes falling off the sky, etc.

          The bridge hit is relevant, more to the system than Biden, but in context the import of the bridge and the commercial value of everything being shipped around the world, maybe even the criticality of some of is… Is it really too expensive to implement more to prevent ships smashing into it and closing the harbor for weeks? Apparently not, from the economy which routinely kneecaps innovation to protect monopoly.

            Not to mention the bridge itself was in a pretty dire state. Not super relevant because even if it was brand new it would’ve been totaled regardless, but it is worth mentioning.

            The Maryland government decided to allow huge ships like the one that hit the bridge despite expert advice saying the thing that happened would happen. Economic incentives are the reason this happened (not to mention the ship itself was probably poorly maintained, so there’s plenty of blame to go around).

    Biden had four years to codify abortion, book bans aren’t done at the national level, why isn’t anyone wearing masks anymore under Biden?

    Infrastructure bill is good but clearly insufficient, Biden capitulated as he has always done.

    Affordable? Why isn’t Insulin, a life or death drug for some people, free? Where is the free healthcare?

    Rescheduling isn’t decriminalization or legalization.

    Biden and Trump have things in common, a. support for genocide b. hating immigrants.

      Cutting out leftist instances from federation will leave the anti-leftists to be drawn to it.

      At least on Reddit, the community was whole regardless.

      The flip side is that defederating from Lemmy.world leaves instances far nicer to interact with, fewer zionists and fascists and more leftists, but it also results in a growing anti-leftist echo chamber.

          $35/month (though there are a number of accessories necessary for administration, depending on method, so that’s by no means the whole cost of managing insulin dependency)

      It’s actually quite crazy to see the amount of change Biden could get done even with out control of the legislative branch. Adding to that, the Republicans are in disarray too yet things still got done. I’m surprised OP didn’t include the largest climate legislation in world history. I want to see another country or region beat us, as this would be welcome competition.

      I guess that would make sense if you didn’t know anything about any other country’s climate legislation, which is presumably the case here.

      It is lesser evilism. They convince themselves Biden is good because their hatred of Trump and lack of theory leads them to reflexively take the side of the Democrats, and then gaslight themselves.
