People here seem to think the Oval Office has a secret “raise/lower prices” lever that the sitting President can just walk over to and adjust as needed.

Is Biden an evil mastermind or a sleepy dementia-addled grandpa? You do realize that both of these can’t be true, yeah?

It’s as Umberto Eco said

The enemy is both weak and strong. “[…] the followers must be convinced that they can overwhelm the enemies. Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.”

  That’s a negative. The states did lockdowns based on the advice of fauci. The president doesn’t have the ability to do lockdowns.

    Perhaps, but Trump could have replaced him.
