Biden's economic theory was that you can rapidly increase the wages of the poorest workers and the ensuing inflation could be mitigated with a soft landing. This proved correct, and voters hated it so much that no one will ever try it again.

I'm glad I don't have to write an endorsement piece, because I really wouldn't know how to go about it. Ever since 2015, when Trump descended the escalator, I have had the same feeling, which I've never quite seen articulated, so I will briefly try:

Y'all understand if Trump wins, both Alito and Thomas retire w/in 6 months and he replaces them with two 40something justices who ensure a right wing majority until 2050, give or take. So, if you're 30 or over, that's your SCOTUS for the rest of your life.

Reminder: HR departments don’t approve performance raises to force turnover so they can stay busy hiring and onboarding. It’s always cheaper to just give the employee you already have the raise they requested, but they never do that because retention isn’t a KPI.
