President Elon Musk
He probably deserves his own thread at this point, discuss accordingly
You just want the explanation to be your pet issue. Biden beat Trump in 2020 when all these things were true. A much more obvious explanation for why the Democrats lost this time is because their candidate went senile and they had a last-minute replacement who was already shown to be unpopular nationally in the 2020 primaries.
And show me where Bill Clinton called anyone a welfare queen. My point was that policy doesn't matter. He could cut welfare as long as he talked like a democrat. I think Reagan was saying the words welfare queen.
And Reagan is still popular with all of the same Trump supporters despite having done a huge amnesty. Most people just want to hear what they want to hear and they don't go beyond that.
Lol
Musk’s team is laying off staff at the agency that investigated Tesla crashes

Oh no said it ain't so
The agency noted in its statement that the Biden administration had expanded its payroll, suggesting the smaller staff was sufficient to carry out its mission.
“Even with these modest efficiencies, NHTSA is still considerably larger today than it was four years ago,” the statement said. “We have retained positions critical to the mission of saving lives, preventing injuries, and reducing economic costs due to road traffic crashes.”
NHTSA is a bottom-of-barrel organization. Or at the very least they are tragically flawed.
I attended a mock trial focus group years ago. Details are sensitive and I can share more in private, but the gist is a human died an extremely unpleasant death on a freeway near me, caused by an american made car that was built like a bomb was attached to it -- but it met all of NHTSA's guidelines, which was what we had to debate at the group. Slightly more than half of the group thought the car manufacturer was not at fault becaues it met the minimum guidelines, which was true but, and despite going through all sorts of mental **** at the time, I spoke in front of the group letting everyone know it was not just the car manufacturers fault 100%, but at least one person in their organization HAD to know that what happened was probabilistic based on very basic geometry.
Hope NHTSA is doge'd away. Good riddance, you suck.

he never explicitly said that specific phrase, iirc reagan is the only president to use that term, but he absolutely spoke in length about the issue of people who's career was welfare

Clinton dismantled the welfare queen from the collective imaginary because he passed reforms to make welfare "queening" impossible
Trump is trying to dismantle as much of the government as he can and will be trying to defund medicaid.
Clinton tried to get universal health care.

Bill Clinton wanted to privatize social security and medicare. It was the Monica Lewinsky affair that stopped him.
Again, point being people want to hear what they want to hear and policy doesn't matter to most.
We're calling for the literal assassination of public figures now I guess. Stay classy, 2p2.

I don't remember that. I do remember Hilary Clinton heading a committee to try to get universal health care, or at least that's what people thought they were trying to do.
No one touched social security, but Obama went on to make it illegal to not have private health insurance. Universal **private** health[strike]care[/strike] insurance is surely what Hillary was working on.
