You wrote, >selling infrastructure plays out of spite and hatred for Biden, whatever the political point being made it’s bad for all investors
I'll go on a mini-rant here in agreement with you. There truly is an irrational and unjust hatred of Biden in this country among factions of deranged folks who've been thoroughly hypnotized and deformed in their values and thinking by "the former guy" (DJT) and his hordes and of course the right-wing propaganda tools at Fox News/Noise, OAN, Newsmax, and any number of right-wing radio hotheads (several of whom died of Covid after spewing anti-vax rhetoric before finally on their deathbeds apologizing to listeners and telling them to get vaccinated).
They really are quite un-American / anti-American.
Here Biden and the Dems only want to
1) heal the nation's badly decrepit infrastructure,
2) bolster a healthy post-Covid economy (GOP "leaders" seem determined to stretch out the pandemic as long as possible with their anti-public-health corruption),
3) mitigate climate catastrophe,
4) try to reverse some of the economically, politically, and psychologically dangerous levels of obscene wealth disparity,
5) and give common folks a chance to still maintain some semblance of "middle class" living (by all objective measures, most Americans have fallen into near poverty, working poverty, or destitution over the past 40 years of failed Reaganomics).
And yet the Republicans have immorally declared an all-out civil war against Dems as "evil socialist scum." Even Social Democrat Bernie Sanders and "the squad" of AOC and her very progressive sisters and brothers in the House of Reps (let alone Joe Biden) have never ever suggested that the State take over and nationalize the Fortune 500 companies. Or anything close to that.
So Republicans have no idea what they're talking about when they spew rhetoric about "socialism." If anything, they should look at themselves and see the many decades of heavily govt-subsidized CORPORATE WELFARE that they've promoted and maintained. Who are the real "socialists" here?
Democrats like Biden are only trying to minimally regulate the bad, polluting, plundering corporations and keep them from mistreating our water, air, soil, and other irreplaceable resources for present and future generations. And pay a living wage to their workers.
And of course the GOP, whose elite members worship not God but rather their supreme idols-- the almighty dollar, corporate profits and political power (through gerrymandering and suppressing voters who disagree with them)-- this unholy, immoral GOP detests any such attempts to regulate corporations or super-rich tax cheats.
No wonder that longtime high-ranking Republicans Steve Schmidt, George Will, and many others have left the GOP, calling it the party of evil.
Rant over. Thanks for listening.
