That’s great. I was getting worried that “top CEO’s” aren’t getting a fair say. Thank God we got someone in there who will finally give them a voice.

If you think Trump didn't give CEOs a voice idk what to say.

The **** does that have to do with anything? That's not even a good whataboutism.

Let's be honest, electing a septuagenarian neoliberal was never going to give you the change that you wanted and you knew that voting for him.

He had a platform. I don’t think he’s sticking to it.

It’s not like I’m surprised but “what did you expect” doesn’t assuage my frustration.

Not only are we in the midst of a rare opportunity we very well might be in the midst of our LAST opportunity.

We can’t just be like he’s on our team so give him some slack. This isn’t about teams. This is about policy.

Honestly I think he's doing exactly what you should've expected given his platform.

Election cycle platforms are always more ambitious than the actual policies once in office, and he campaigned as a moderate.

As president, Biden will:

End for-profit detention centers. No business should profit from the suffering of desperate people fleeing violence. Biden will ensure that facilities that temporarily house migrants seeking asylum are held to the highest standards of care and prioritize the safety and dignity of families above all.

He has the authority to do that in one day.

He can go there, instruct the warden to open the cells and the gates, tell the staff to go home and put them on paid leave - instruct the United States Attorney General to issue green cards to all the former occupants.

That was his promise. To “end for profit detention centers”

He’s still got a couple business hours left today. I’m pretty sure he can afford to put them up at the Sheraton for the meantime.

There's no time frame given on that promise

If anything the specific promise he broke was giving me my ****ing $2000 check "immediately"

What does immediately mean in your world, Joe? Where's the money???
