President Biden ran his 2020 campaign on the promise he’d bring back “normal” life in America. Almost one year later, there is still an ongoing pandemic, record-high inflation, and a serious lack of food in grocery stores. The gang discusses it all and what it means for the country. Plus, President Biden spoke about voting rights in Atlanta yesterday and the speech aggravated all four hosts. They discuss the speech and how it adds to the tearing of the social fabric in America.
Show Notes:
-President Biden’s speech in Atlanta
-Stacey Abrams snubs President Biden?
Sarah’s point that there is very little left in the country that hasn’t been federalized highlights a fundamental problem with our democracy today. Yuval Levin keeps admonishing Americans that they should get involved at the local level rather than concentrating on national issues. But if everything has been made a national issue, what is the point of getting involved locally?
Everyone mocks California, but here in Sunnyvale/Cupertino we all mask like crazy, the schools are all open, the grocery stores are well stocked, restaurants are open, no vaccine mandates, almost everyone is vaxed already voluntarily, test kits are hard to buy but there are places to get tested, hospitals are not overwhelmed, people are reasonably cautious but moving forward. Seems pretty good to me?
