Continued the tradition of hollowing out the middle class for wealthy donors like any other politician. The man represented Delaware for God's sake. Economy got "better" while people continued to get gradually poorer, materially.

I guess that's better than having every index in the world crater because chatgpt said tariffs on everyone though, so.

Superpower? Alright no need to chug the Kool aid this hard, let's wait until you find a chapter where he wants to develop a nuclear triad.

He's a traditional liberal which means not all that progressive beyond what's popular socially. Good for the wealthy fiscally, and maintained decline for everyone else. If you want to see what it'll be, look at the UK while he was heading up BoE. Or any Canadian Liberal government through the 90s-00s.

Despite all this he and his party obviously remain the superior choice to PP, but let's not kid ourselves. He's not going to neolib us into utopia.

Yoga and athletics-wear company, though that's broader now. They made it big on stretchy form fitting things made in sweatshops, just as the yoga industry began to boom.

I'm not sure about that headline, ABC. How about, "arrested for risking killing hundreds of people with COVID/disease, in order to make YouTube content". This way you can't be smug and cute about a genuine risk, or the application of law by foreigners.

Given that it obviously won't happen, I have to wonder which particular thing he's trying to divert attention from.

it's probably a much less exciting film if they're on bicycles
