*** OFFICIAL *** Joe Biden Presidency Thread

[BCR]

I think this has been true for many of the presidents of late. Not senile, but essentially figure heads. W, Trump, and Biden are guys who have a macro worldview, but no ability or acumen to deal with the minutiae of running a country and hand over the day to day to a team of advisers.

I had to give W some credit after the Lewis pandemic book for recognizing a true problem and trying to straighten it out, so I’m not saying they are retarded, but they are largely figure heads. Our Middle East policy and the rest were ran by ideologues and he signed off. Trump and Biden are aging guys with an overarching worldview, but too old to burn the midnight oil over policy. Trump never had the ability. Biden was never overly smart at any point, so he would have been more hands on younger, but we might be better with 80 Joe over 60 Joe.

I prefer Biden’s advisers to Trump’s obviously, but I can’t say Trump let the nuttiest of his people run the most important stuff. He gave way too many donors important jobs and things like the postal service are fucked, but he wasn’t putting Taylor-Greene types on the joint chiefs or anything. Neither is Biden. Too many political favors, but not extremists in any serious position.

Trump ruined you

are you that big of a deranged shitlib that you don't know the postal service has been fucked way before Trump?

stick to coke and steroids you stupid faggot and leave the political discussion to the pros

fucking drug addicted faggot

The postal service was screwed by W, because he allowed those longing for privatization to push policy through that made them fund their pension health care funds fully for 30 years of retirement upon hiring a new postal worker who wouldn’t retire for decades, which no business in the world could fade, let alone a sprawling government agency and created a scenario where they couldn’t hire new workers and ended up with a workforce of temps and lifers as it was implemented at a time when the postal service was already beginning to lose money that made it so they couldn’t invest as they had such large health care obligations.. A poor compromise policy at the worst of times.

So W technically fucked it up, but putting someone incompetent in charge of a pre-existing nightmare is worst case management. They chose a guy who built his success upon the retarded policy that fucked it up in the first place. People who are educated appreciate how ridiculous the pension health policy implemented under Bush made it a sure failure, and how putting a political appointee who benefitted from the poor policy in charge accelerated the decline. That would require you to have any understanding of how pensions and health care are traditionally funded, how privatization doesn’t work for something like the postal service, and would require you to leave the basement and have once attended a class, held a job of any importance, and possibly reading a book that doesn’t have pop up pictures written for children. All things far beyond your ability as low IQ incel.
