And yeah, Joe's the leader; Infrastructure, Chips and Science and caps on insulin prices, ALL of it benefiting disproportionality the most rundown, most jobless and the sickest parts of American.

They are, in practice, a form of the “place-based industrial policy” some economists have urged to fight America’s growing geographic disparities.
