@aescling he’s running on the economy because it’s going to be a major issue in battleground states

U·S politics 

« Mr. Biden has centered his re-election campaign around the idea of “Bidenomics,” his record of infrastructure, high tech and clean energy spending aimed at creating good industrial jobs and shrinking income inequality. Despite those broad policies, Mr. Potrykus [68, a longtime electrician in the Ford plant], eyeing his own expenses, said he didn’t see either Democrats or Republicans as fighting for the working class.

“I don’t think either party is really interested in that,” he said. “It’s a war on us now. You’ve got the super rich and then you’ve got the poor.” »

npr 

the other day people were sharing an npr article where an FDA guy was reported to insinuate that updated COVID vaccines might only be intended for at-risk folks.

the CDC voted nearly unanimously to authorize the updated vaccine for everybody. the head of the CDC published an opinion piece in the New York Times today titled “As a Doctor, a Mother and the Head of the C.D.C., I Recommend That You Get the Latest Covid Booster”. there was never any question that they were going to do this. stop listening to NPR
