Knowing Joe, he'll pull further left and do what's right if that's what we want. He's more flexible and adaptable if he has the votes. I suspect he will pursue both progressive policies and moderate policies depending on the priority. This of course is just my observation.

But yes, I agree that our responsibility is as you say. I am not blind in my optimism.

That's BS. A person can work 40 hours/week and live in poverty at any income level. Poverty is also a function of a person's spending habits.

No one should live in poverty, period. And Biden's word is 💩.

The last great Republican president, Theodore Roosevelt, has a tweet for everything. #AlwaysATweet #Wages

Poverty is a mix of personal self worth , lack mentality and not seeing a way out. A job won’t change that no matter the pay. Where ever you go there you are. It has to be an emotional shift / growth for them to reach past that level.

This presidency will be a challenge to those ready to go back to brunch. In fact, this is the biggest gatekeeper of change, the need to go back to the comfortable petri dish that made a Trump possible.

My biggest fear and highest expectation is that the Biden administration will do as much or more nothing as Obama did in his 1st 2 years. Majorities in both house's but no progressive legislation. Repair, yes, but grow while you can.

His word is pretty worthless.

Remove the "working 40 hours a week" part and we can agree
