Biden has done nothing for the people that would earn him a pass on even the slightest bad act. 1 "right" doesn't negate 2 "wrongs". That is simply not where the country is right now for 99% of Americans. Wealth is grotesquely concentrated and incrementalism in the face of the planet's condition is ghoulish. We cannot sustain a pattern of climate policy that we are lead to believe net's out to a decrease. Increasing emissions with Willow Point while allegedly cutting emissions with new technology at some point in the future with the Inflation Reduction Act is killing people.
What's more, watch for ways in which Biden's policy "achievements" really aren't achievements at all as they are invariably and quietly sabotaged in practice or in some other aspect of law else he would have NEVER done them. For instance, the alleged achievements from the Inflation Reduction Act aren't much when at the time he did it and until today, the EPA is wildly understaffed and continues to struggle just to stay open due to a severe staffing shortage.
We need integrity. We can't afford to make mistakes. If Biden, our 2 parties and judiciary's hearts aren't in the fight for the Planet's health, they need to be removed from public service.
There is no reason the number of acceptable losses for our Country's prosperity shouldn't be zero other than greed.

“A study published in Nature Communications by an international team of scientists shows that an irreversible loss of the West Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets, and a corresponding rapid acceleration of sea level rise, may be imminent if global temperature change cannot be stabilized below 1.8°C.”

The rail industry is the poster child for corporate power, and rail barons were among the first targets of Gilded Age trustbusters who saw the rail monopolies as a threat to the prosperity and wellbeing of Americans. The entire rail industry presents a systematic danger, and the Ohio derailment is a symptom of a much deeper pathology that endangers anyone who lives near one of the rail corridors that crisscross America.:
