I remember when Biden took office, fuel prices shot up within days. Personally, the Biden presidency has not benefitted me at all. However, I feel I have been more at a disadvantage ever since.

• The tech recession really started to take effect. I am a software engineer. Due to the mass layoffs in the tech industry, it is much more challenging to land a new role.
• The cost of rent skyrocketed within a year of Biden taking office. A one bedroom apartment that once cost $800 a month rose to $1,300 a month.
• Homeownership became more unobtainable. Being almost 30 and wanting to own my first home, I was outpriced. For example, looking at the history of these homes, a condo that once sold for under $200k in 2021 is now selling for over $350k in 2024.
• Interest rates have increased for mortgage loans, car loans, or any type. of loan/line of credit.
• I feel my career has not taken off. I have employment instability everywhere I go.
• I am having difficulties obtaining affordable mental healthcare or any healthcare for that matter.
• I feel more strapped financially even for just groceries. I spent about $8 today on just 2 items: a tube of Pillsbury orange roles and a jar of store brand apple butter.
• My overall stress levels have increased.

These are just examples of issues I have encountered on a personal basis.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation and other agencies quietly resumed coordinating with the major social media companies earlier this year to fight what government officials warned was a coming onslaught of foreign disinformation and influence operations leading up to the presidential election in November. In at least two instances in recent weeks, the companies have taken action to remove malign content, according to the Biden administration and company officials.

Contacts between F. B. I. investigators and the companies — including Facebook, X and YouTube — ground to a halt last year as a legal challenge that accused the Biden administration of censorship wound its way to the U. S. Supreme Court.

When President Biden came to office, however, the Republican attorneys general of Missouri and Louisiana went to court, saying such coordination was part of a sweeping government conspiracy to stifle critical conservative voices online.

After a lower court judge ruled in July 2023 that the accusations at the heart of the case reflected “the most massive attack against free speech in United States’ history,” the Biden administration suspended virtually all contact with the social media platforms as the appeals process unfolded.

In February, the Department of Justice rewrote its standard operating procedures to clarify when its officials could communicate with social media companies, even before the Supreme Court’s decision, according to the department’s official response to an inspector general report. It posted an outline of the guidelines without fanfare on the F. B. I.’s website on Aug. 1.

The new procedures emphasize that the bureau’s agents cannot exert any pressure on the platforms, leaving it to the companies to decide what to do with information about malign foreign influence operations online. The goal was to deflect the core accusation of the legal challenge: that the government had effectively coerced the platforms to act with threats of retaliation.

Lauren Boebert blasts Kamala Harris for being poorly educated

Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert tried to own Vice President Kamala Harris on Twitter yesterday, and the internet was having none of it.

Whatever your views on VP Harris, few can deny her academic background or experience. She graduated from Howard University and the Hastings College of Law at the University of California. She was the District Attorney of San Francisco, and the Attorney General of California, before becoming Senator for California, and then Vice President under Joe Bide

Boebert dropped out of High School, eventually gaining a GED diploma in 2020, a few months before she first took office

The public interest is a tedious thing. Sparing a thought for others is of no immediately obvious benefit. Private interests are easier to understand and pursue.
In a speech on Friday in North Carolina, Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to take on the issue of price gouging by large corporations. Researchers for U. K. think tanks Institute for Public Policy Research and Common Wealth found in late 2023 that profiteering, or “greedflation,” “significantly” boosted prices, leading to increases of 30% or more in corporate profits. “Excessive profits were even larger in the US, where many important sections of the economy are dominated by a few powerful companies,” wrote Phillip Inman of The Guardian.
The July report for consumer prices from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which came out yesterday, showed that prices rose less than 3% in the previous twelve months. Core inflation has fallen to its lowest rate since April 2021. For well over a year, wages have grown faster than inflation.
Responding to today’s news that inflation is coming down, the stock market ticked up in expectation that the Fed will now be more likely to cut interest rates in September. Applications for small businesses continue to boom across the country, with 19 million new business applications since Vice President Harris and President Biden took office, an annual growth rate 90% higher than prepandemic averages. Congressional Republicans are trying to cut the Small Business Administration and to cut taxes for big corporations.
Politico greeted today’s economic news with a headline saying, “Inflation is easing. Now, Harris has an even bigger problem with the economy.” And the New York Times reported that in a speech in North Carolina, “Harris Is Set to Lay Out an Economic Message Light on Details,” adding that she is expected to tweak Biden administration themes “in a bid to turn the Democratic economic agenda into an asset." Seems out of step with reality.
