Thanks for the article, learning aboutnthe positives.
On another note...
It is a start, but may be too late in the game for the blue administration for 2024.
I have also heard of other positive things being pushed, in my bubble of politics.
Might be due to all the military conflicts around the world and union strikes, that are also starting to ramp up in the US.
Great post on the positive news. Thanks again!
I think it's fair to wonder why policy changes like those are being pushed so late into the presidents term. Seems like primaries and elections drive policy more than anything else.
He's been pretty busy. The Inflation Reduction Act, the Safer Communities Act, the CHIPS and Science Act, the American Rescue Plan (ARP) and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act is a decent list for the first 2 years in office. A lot isn't super progressive but it's unlikely the ideas you're hearing about now will pass in their most progressive form either. But you have to start pretty far left to get anything even moderately left of center.
And, I know our election cycle makes it seem super late, but we're like 5/8 of the way into his term. Just a bit over half way. In February it was pretty much half way.
Yes, you are right!
It is always the go-to for politicians, I see it workong less and less as more people get informed.
