TODAY: Biden announces major action on student debt relief.
What's in the news?
Trump's shifting abortion stance, Trump suing his judge, Trump's fundraising claims.
TOMORROW: Look for another story about how voters don't feel like Biden's done anything.
See how this works?
@rbreich how many times has Biden announced that now? We're all used to being disappointed. Trump is shitty but knows how to put on a show, Biden should upstage him with actions instead of words.
Incremental change is pathetic. When Biden is gone and we look at the big graph of student loan debt over the decade, no one will be able to tell he did anything.
Just reading downthread from something in my timeline (no link, no pile-on), and read: "Incremental change is pathetic."
That's our problem, right there. How has global education vastly improves? Incremental change. How has malaria been all but eradicated? Incremental change. How has life-expectancy in the west increased over recent decades? Incremental change.
It's this hunger for "events" that blinds us to seeing the important trends. It's so childish.
