Hot damn, that's some straight common sense fire.Major Psaki energy bruh
You seriously asking?
For starters:
- stop with this bullshit vaccine mandate, --> vaccination helps the vaccinated survive Covid, it doesn't stop them from getting Covid or spreading it. Why is proof of vaccine superior than a negative covid test? Answer: its not, it makes no sense because it isn't meant to make sense. The mandate is meant to be the stick that gets the unvaccinated to want to vaccinate. End it because according to literally every scientific study/definition ever the USA has reached herd immunity with vaccines and thats not even including the unvaccinated who have natural immunity via previous infection. The mandate is insane right now, it would have made sense in early Spring but now its overkill.
- get the ports opened again, ending the mandate and telling Newsom to get his shit together (remind him that he owes you one for helping him stay Gov)
- get all schools opened fully again, how the fuck can the economy return when tons of places have schools still shut down OR have schools randomly shutting down for days or weeks at a time. Kids under 18 have a better chance of getting raped by Catholic priest whilst getting hit by a car than dying from Covid
- allow fracking again, JESUS christ how do people not understand this is literally the best thing we have right now re: oil/gas. Until you can have some realistic alternative there is no reason to ban fracking. Importing oil/gas is better? Nord Stream 2 being a mega pipeline/political gun to the head of western Europe is ok but fracking in North Dakota is terrible? What the fuck are we even talking about.
- allow for oil/gas leases on Fed land again (like we always have since most of the oil ground in the US is under federal land/water)
- either end the faux Climate shit that is blocking tons of industry OR if you really do believe the earth is melting at “alarming” levels fucking finally do something about it like Obama did and cut those checks for credits to build wind and/or tell the animal rights people to shove it up their ass and allow for hydro projects again and then tell the Greens to shove it up their ass and build Nuclear power plants again (France is 80% in a country smaller than Texas, it’s not Chernobyl 24/7) right now Biden says he wants 0 emissions and is banning oil/gas but isn’t doing anything to build renewables to meet the demand that he is creating
- if you want your 30 in 30 plan just give a bigger carrot (higher CRP per acre prices and no cap on number of acres) you will probably be able to get damn close to the 30% target without having to ever use a stick. Biden can literally today order the USDA to increase CRP payments and end the acre cap = tomorrow he would have thousands of land owners signing up thousands of acres into CRP.
- stop lying about nobody under $400,000 will have their taxes go up, we all know this isn’t true based on the tiny bits of information released. Billionaires and mega corporations paying their fair share? Why not have the Corp tax revert to 35% why not have more tax brackets instead of stopping at 523,000? Why are you mandating reporting for every transaction over $600? Time and energy will be wasted collecting this MASSIVE amount of data that the IRS doesn’t need. Stop with the bullshit saying you are going to tax unrealized gains. No, no you will not be doing that because it would literally end the US economy overnight. Bezos/Buffet/Musk/etc having to pay unrealized gains on their wealth would mean they would have to sell at a level that would tank their stock price and domino the economy. It’s beyond silly, I can only assume those who discuss it have no idea what they are talking about. Biden needs to just increase corporate tax (if you’re a C-Corp in 2021, you’re a big boy, Everybody else is S or LLC) and have more brackets. Biden needs to stop with the faux “ima tax wealth” 6th grade tax analysis because the current ambiguity on what the future of the tax code is = business and people don’t know what to expect. Just come out with a real plan and make it public.
These are just off the top of my head and purely economic and domestic. Foreign policy wise I could go on for pages.
*** all of these things Biden can do by himself without Nancy or Chuck
PS: I don’t think any of these are unreasonable and many (renewables, conservation) are politically aligned with Biden.
Sadly, mashed tater head and most of the fuck wad politicians just preach to the lowest common denominator and will actually do anything to make some sort of progress.
