    Green energy, EV investment, union empowerment (inb4), student debt relief marijuana pardons and likely rescheduling, infrastructure, drug price controls, Chips act, PACT act, non-competes banned (by FTC along ‘party lines’), pardoning people kicked out of military for being gay, supporting Ukraine, etc, etc.

    People saying he didn’t do anything have their head in the sand.

    Is this where we cue “but he didn’t do everything, everywhere, all at once”?

      You lost me the moment you thought the strikes were only about sick days. Look up the unions’ demand and you’ll see that sick days were only one of many, and Biden still gave them less of those than they demanded.

      Edit: Typo.

        And then when the amazon strikers were being illegally arrested by the cops the other day Biden didnt do a damned thing.

        The video says (effectively) “still working behind the scenes on the remaining issues”. Just because they reach an agreement on one item doesn’t mean they ignore all the other items.

            If that was the case then they wouldn’t have even gotten the sick days presented in the video. But they did.

          That was two years (???) ago and he only has two weeks left in office. Unless by some miracle they can get these things during Trump’s term, it ain’t happening.

            It doesn’t get any media coverage, so I have no idea what happened. But this notion that he just ordered them back to work and nothing happened is dead wrong.

        Hello Mr Crab! That’s why I said likely! He told whatever agency to look at it and iirc they announced plans to reschedule it.

        I also see someone else has given you a whole bunch of information on it.

              Well, at least you’ve moved on for your previous position that Biden had rescheduled cannabis. Because you knew every last time you repeated it that it was a fucking lie.

              Cannabis is still Schedule I, where you and Crime Bill Biden love it.

                And that’s why I said likely!

                For anyone wondering, months ago I said that Biden rescheduled marijuana. I said you can say that I was a little ahead of the ball on that. But Mr Crab got suuuppeeerrr mad, yelling and screaming at me for months, and still going! I think he’s at 4 months now! You’d think that lack of rescheduling raped and killed his mother or something.

                where you … love it.

                Ah and we have your strawman! Still can’t break that AND operator huh! For anyone wondering, Mr Crab is intent on calling people centrists.

                  Because you expect people who know better to buy that cannabis is “likely” to be rescheduled in the next month? Come on dude.

                  Biden didn’t reschedule cannabis. It’s still Schedule I. Where it will remain until the end of his term. Where he always intended it to stay.

                  He did not, as you asserted, reschedule it. That was a lie. You didn’t “get a little bit ahead of the ball.” That ball ain’t moving and it was never going to. It was just a lie. That’s all it ever was and all it will ever be. You. Lied.

                  Still can’t break that AND operator huh!

                  I’m not sure why you think this makes any more sense than last time.

                  Anyway, I’m out. You’re just trying to provoke a slapfight.

                  EDIT: They always keep trying when you say you’re leaving. Now he’s whining about downvotes and making conspiracy allegations.

                    The other guy explained the process perfectly so I won’t bother.

                    You’re just trying to provoke a slapfight.

                    Says the guy that’s been trying to slap me for months, over a simple being ahead of the ball lol. If there’s any doubt, I mean just look at the reply above.

                    And operator https://lemmy.world/comment/13707089 It’s even bolded.

                    I also like how all of my comments suddenly went down 5, and yours went up 5. Yup. Same with the other guy in the chain.

                    EDIT: They always keep trying

                    EDIT: As if saying you’re leaving means people aren’t allowed to respond lol. There’s layers to your edit too.

      I think people are more upset about the net change. Marijuana pardons, but he also pardoned someone who embezzled millions, as well as Hunter (after saying he wouldn’t). He also showed no sympathy for union workers, like when he signed return to work for striking rail workers.
