The Biden Presidency

in an interview Biden did with New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman in early December, there was an indicator of what might happen in 2021.

“I want to make sure we’re going to fight like hell by investing in America first,” Biden told Friedman. Biden sees areas such as energy, biotech, advanced materials and artificial intelligence as being ripe for large-scale government investment in research.

“We should be spending $20 billion to put broadband across the board,” Biden told Friedman. “We have got to rebuild the middle class,” but “especially in rural America”.

IMPLICATIONS ...... Tech

I just hope he goes back to basics and delivers a future, rather than pandering to media based rhetoric, that actually doesn't put much food on the table.
All I have observed in our house with broadband is, when we are home the kids ride bikes go to the park.
When we are away Disney movies, Google Play, Netflix's, YouTube etc gets hammered.
 
Janet Yellen, Bidens selection for Treasury secretary, has earned more than $7.2 m. for speaking fees over the last two years.
To Wall St, Goldman Sachs, Citibank, Google etc.
Think she might be a little compromised??

No.
I have been a speaker in the past. That has not meant I have suddenly wanted to be corrupted.

In a sense she is getting paid to explain her experience to mostly very smart people who want to get a better understanding of how the world really works and so wish to pay good money to hear her views.
 
The Democrats are trying so hard to be woke.
Democrat congressman in House of Representatives ends prayer with "Amen and Awomen"
Pathetic.
 
Looking like Dems have won one senate seat and likely the second in Georgia. One a black man, the other a Jew! Reps had 2 standard white guys. Historic.

Looks like Trump did some damage.

Gop signing off on that bloated bill is what killed them.
Gop: "No US citizens all you get is $600".
Dems: "If we win the senate its $2000 for all".

Gop then basically turned off Trumps base the last few weeks.

And Trump was Trump. Looks like he is burning his way out and taking his base. I dare say he will attempt to run out the anti Trumpers in the GOP over the next few years.

And what is Pence going to do? Disrupt the handover? Should see some nasty sharemarket action tomorrow.
Gotta admit Trump is not a guy who gives up. I admire his drive.

He always reminded me of a t-shirt my brother had in the early 80s

Well there is one thing that I have got from this election, no better understanding of how it works, all I hope is that we stay the way we are in Australia.
Well at least until I've gone, after that, do as you will. :wheniwasaboy:

The good thing that seems to be coming out of the election is, the democrats will hold both houses of parliament, which is good because then they can own their own agenda and be accountable for the outcomes.
Way too often these days, policy has to be watered down, to appease fringe dwellers.
 
Who would have thought, has the Trump effect finally fizzled?

How brave is Georgia if the 2nd Dem gets up?

Answer not that brave as not a real lot will change unfortunately other than perhaps a return to the little of normality that shaped the US democracy and intuitions that have withstood the assault by the incompetent Trump and his sycophants.

Trump will stand utterly condemned by history and convicted by state attorneys.

Those same congressmen disgusted by using the phrase a-women didn't seem to have any issues with Trump having peaceful protesters tear gassed and battened so he could stand outside a church with a Bible in his hand.

The hypocrisy of the Right never ceases. They should be more concerned with what is said in Congress after the session is opened, rather than the use of a made up word to end the opening prayer (which in itself should not be said in a secular democracy) More hypocritical still is that they have no intention of following the guidance that they are invoking their God to give them.
