The Joe Biden Drops Out thread

Yeah the UK suffered under a decade of austerity.

Sure, cutting costs and bloat in government finance is applaudable, but unfortunately all government spending was viewed as a cost, none of it was seen as an investment.

This was a huge mistake as this investment either was excellent cost mitigation (eg broken window theory) , increased the value of the economy (infrastructure improvements that create immediate jobs and facilitate future business) or straight up earned the government money (e.g. primary healthcare where preventative medicine can greatly increase the working life and reduce sick days for tax payers ergo creating much more income for the government AND strengthening the economy AND reducing social costs of unemployment AND reducing healthcare costs by nipping cases in the bud).

I think we're going to be waiting 4 more years before those expectations can even be reallistically addressed.


I was at the VA when covid hit.

My feels feel like everyone got sick. Staff. Patients. There was zero gain in quality of life for anyone. And foreign medical suppliers made xxx $$$ xxx on tests and like gimmicks like chlorine gas sterilizers.

The walls where covered in shit and many people died without an ounce of pain relief.

I don't have high hopes Biden can help in any way, or would personally.

Woe to the BLM guys not even registered except as felons. Let alone middle class people shoehornd into the ACA.

I don't have the heart to go out whitebread style but like I see essentially little hope either way.

A tiny voice in my head says endure four more years of orange man bad and just ignore the kids killing each other over universal basic hotpockets because it will unify the able bodied thru adversity.

I also just want to put faith my friends family 👪 and community and just use 🙏 and ❤ love.
