The festival was over, the boys were all plannin’ for a fall,
The cabaret was quiet except for the drillin’ in the wall.
The curfew had been lifted and the gamblin’ wheel shut down,
Anyone who had any sense had already left town.
–Bob Dylan
I’m thinking that I need to become emotionally detached. That just may keep my head from exploding.
Joe Biden is planning to sign dozens of executive orders later this week and in doing so crushes some of Orange Mans favorite policies. Three main areas are addressed: immigration, climate change, and the kung flu.
Specifically he plans on rescinding the travel ban on sand people, rejoining the Paris climate scam, and mandate the wear of masks on federal property or during interstate travel. I suppose this would include wearing a mask in your new sparky vehicles.
But, but, but, what about fixin raaaaaysim? Ron Klain says: “These actions will change the course of COVID-19, combat climate change, promote racial equity and support other underserved communities, and rebuild our economy in ways that strengthen the backbone of this country: the working men and women who built our nation,”
On the second day in office, Plugs will sign executive actions on Covid-19, including ways to help schools and business reopen safely (flooding the education unions with cash), expand testing, protect workers and establish clearer public health standards.
They say on the third day he will ‘direct his Cabinet to work on delivering economic relief to families most affected by the crisis.’ I wonder who these folk might be and what form the economic relief might take?
In the days that follow he will expand the Buy America provisions, by ”taking action to advance “equity and support communities of color,”. He will tinker with the criminal justice system, push for single payer, and reunite families separated at the border (I assume this means that if a family member got through during the last round of insanity, the balance of the clan just hit the lottery.
That’s a lot to accomplish in a few short days, wonder what this place is going to look like in a couple of years?
