We have a soft landing. The soft landing is here.

We are in the middle of Q4 2023. A year ago, when people were talking about, "Can there be a soft landing?" and were doing these surveys asking, "In a year's time are we going to have a soft landing or are we going to have a recession?" the overwhelming consensus of economists was, "We are going to have a recession." And that didn't happen. And the overwhelming consensus of economists was, "We are going to have very much higher unemployment." And that didn't happen.

The thing that did happen was that we kept having economic growth and jobs growth and we brought down inflation. This was the "Goldilocks" scenario, the soft landing that everyone thought was highly improbable. But it happened.

A soft landing does not mean we will never, ever again have a recession. A soft landing means where we are right now actually happened in contravention to everyone's predictions.

Incorrect, the fact that Biden has dropped out and a candidate with history of supporting medicare for all and being more receptive to a ceasefire in the I/P conflict has made me go from "I cannot morally support the Democratic nominee" to "I am voting for the Democratic nominee despite the fact she isn't perfect in every respect." I'm really happy this played out. The Dems for the most part abandoned the old Obama platform and it feels like its possible an actual progressive agenda could come to pass in my lifetime.

Kamala 2024!

If you weren't going to vote Democratic in this election before Biden dropped out you're a dorkass loser who does not care about any of the issues you're yammering about here and also a fundamentally bad person, and I hope you get run over by a bus.

But you got one thing right in all of this gibberish, Kamala 2024.

That's a really fucked up thing to say. I want to suck Biden's cock. The idea of seeing his wrinkled, drooping foreskin pulse with life as he almost becomes erect in my mouth turns me on so much. The idea of the varicose veins on his thighs pulsing with life as I twirl my fingers in his white pubes makes me want to jump off a building cock first. Biden as a concept, as a human being, deserves worship of the highest order. When I imagine the smell of his balls, I imagine the freezer at the Dairy Queen where I worked every summer of my youth, and the powerful image of my unworthy hands caressing them brings me to tears. I am brought to my knees with love for this man, and the thought of him as an UNWILLING slave of the woke liberal left fills me with rage. Joe, if you're out there, I cannot stand another second apart. Please, Joe, I need to see you. I love you more than words can express. What happened to us? Why won't you look me in the eye in public? I miss you.

Things Biden and the Democrats did, this week.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau put forward a new regulation to limit bank overdraft fees. The CFPB pointed out that the average overdraft fee is $35 even though majority of overdrafts are under $26 and paid back with-in 3 days. The new regulation will push overdraft fees down to as little as $3 and not more than $14, saving the American public collectively 3.5 billion dollars a year.

The Environmental Protection Agency put forward a regulation to fine oil and gas companies for emitting methane. Methane is the second most abundant greenhouse gas, after CO2 and is responsible for 30% of the rise of global temperatures. This represents the first time the federal government has taxed a greenhouse gas. The EPA believes this rule will help reduce methane emissions by 80%

The Energy Department has awarded $104 million in grants to support clean energy projects at federal buildings, including solar panels at the Pentagon. The federal government is the biggest consumer of energy in the nation. The project is part Biden's goal of reducing the federal government's greenhouse gas emissions by 65% by 2030. The Energy Department estimates it'll save taxpayers $29 million in the first year alone and will have the same impact on emissions as taking over 23,000 gas powered cars off the road.

The Education Department has cancelled 5 billion more dollars of student loan debt. This will effect 74,000 more borrowers, this brings the total number of people who've had their student loan debt forgiven under Biden through different programs to 3.7 Million

U.S. Agency for International Development has launched a program to combat lead exposure in developing countries like South Africa and India. Lead kills 1.6 million people every year, more than malaria and AIDS put together.

Congressional Democrats have reached a deal with their Republican counter parts to revive the expanded the Child Tax Credit. The bill will benefit 16 million children in its first year and is expected to lift 400,000 children out of poverty in its first year. The proposed deal also has a housing provision that could see 200,000 new affordable rental units

Joe Biden's legacy will be that he was not the president we deserved, but he was the president we needed.
