In current conversations, it is hard to point towards potential future economic policies when inflation and the cost of living was so extreme in the Biden administration.

In a conversation I had just prior to the election, one of his supporters commented to me “things were just better before Biden. I could afford groceries back then…”

You and I know there is nuance to this. Economic policies and infrastructure investment both have delayed effects to see the benefit, often not occurring until the next president is in office. That, and the fact that it’s hard to hold corporate greed and Wall Street accountable without a super majority.

None of that helps to keep in your back pocket during casual discourse though.

There are tons of HackerNews apps now.

Hack, Harmonic, and Trilby are my favorites.

There is a road, no simple highway

Between the dawn and the dark of night

And if you go, no one may follow

That path is for your steps alone

Ripple in still water

When there is no pebble tossed

Nor wind to blow

You who choose to lead must follow

But if you fall you fall alone

If you should stand then who’s to guide you?

If I knew the way I would take you home
