    Student loans have not been canceled

    Some have.

    Non-Competes are still in effect

    https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2024/04/ftc-announces-rule-banning-noncompetes

    Landlords are still price fixing and rent is still out of control

    The problem is being worked on, the solution wasn’t instantaneous.

    Amazon, Google and apple nor any other large companies have been broken up with antitrust

    Not yet, these things take time. The final antitrust case against AT&T lasted 8 years, and it was only one of many. The antitrust case against IBM lasted almost 13 years.

    Despite giving the IRS funding, the rich are still not paying taxes

    Again, these things take time.

    I don’t know if you’ve been to America or met most Americans, but most of us are really struggling.

    So… something that has been happening since at least the Reagan years wasn’t turned around in 4, so Biden’s doing a bad job?

      Most student loans have not been canceled claiming that student loans have been canceled. It’s just ingenuous and again it’s the whole fake Biden is killing it narrative. Be honest.

      Non-Competes are still in effect that ruling does not go into effect until September at the earliest and it is subject to many Court challenges before it will probably not happen. Regardless, it has not happened yet.

      You say the problem is being worked on in these things take time for multiple things. In other words, Biden has not done anything on these fronts. You cannot give Biden credit for something that he has not done lol.

      This is what I mean. Biden is milk toast at best. He’s really just slowing our rate of decline more than he is actually doing a good job. The insistence that he is killing it or doing a good job when he is not and people are suffering is a bad strategy politically.

      This giant list of things that turns out to be bs is the kind of thing making people more disillusioned. Stuff like this lowers voter turnout. Democrats lose when voter turnout is low. Do you see where this gets bad?

        What an idiotic thing to say.

        Biden is milk toast at best

        You should look up that expression because you’re misusing it.

          I don’t think it’s an idiotic thing to say. I think you’re an idiot for dismissing it without reason.

          I’m not going to waste my time with you

            If you don’t think it’s an idiotic thing to say, you’re an idiot.

            “If something extremely complex and time consuming isn’t already 100% done to my satisfaction, nothing has been done.”

            Do you know that some things take time? Do you know that progress isn’t instantaneous? What are you, a literal baby who has no concept of the passage of time?
