Jen Psaki saying at press conference yesterday that Biden economic team not addressing Robin Hood issue because his team is working on what really matters to the American people, which is Covid relief bill, makes both her & him seem incredibly out of touch with what’s happening.

Based on some responses, I want to clarify. I wasn’t suggesting that anything is more important than a Covid relief bill; I’ve been asking where those $2000 checks are every day.

Don’t worry we’ve got Janet “800K” Yellen looking into it.

$2000 should be in people’s hands already.

Why would he comment on it? He's the president of the United States, not the SEC or TMZ.

Robin Hood issue is inconsequential when compared to everything related to COVID.
Replying to @marwilliamson
I thought just the opposite. I thought it showed leadership. I was happy the daily buzz didn't knock him off course. He's treating this crisis as a crisis with focus and discipline.

Out of touch is thinking that at this moment in time Wall Street is more pressing than a pandemic. Biden and his team have their priorities just right.

That the mythological Robinhood hid in the woods is not lost to the town folks nor was it particularly of any concern to them unless they had occasion to travel those woods. This modern day Robinhood was left exposed and sought shelter yet it was a great run & will be again.

The stock market does not matter to most people. You know what happened with the Gamestop fiasco? Some hedge funds got screwed. That's it. Some rich people lost some money. The end. Most people will not feel so much as a passing breeze on their lives because of it.

Read the room and if you still don't get it after that read your vote totals.

Maybe to you. To me they seem focused on the most urgent priorities, which is a good thing. The stock market should not be a presidential issue.
