Reminds me of this old Eastern Bloc joke (read it in a thick slavic accent):
Pravda reports imperialist forces unjustly and underhandedly attacked peaceful farm tractors of great USSR doing peaceful harvesting work. Our brave farmers returned fire and flew back to USSR territory.
It was outsourced to the guy who ran Nazi concentration camps to build ballistic missiles to bomb London with.
Do we have insurance for that?
Okay, that explains Trump, but Biden?
The question would more likely be, why is it too late to have a different candidate run against Trump?
If the debt was owed to banks, then... heeee hee
We stayed up to watch it here across the pond, made it to 10 minutes.
Seriously, WTF is going on over there? How are these two people the top candidates to represent 380 million people?
The socialist left of Europe wants a UBI, forced dismantlement of megacorps in favour of cooperatives, harsh wealth taxes on net worth, separation of investment and commercial banking and so on.

The problem is that it kneecaps the experience for people who newly join, because they get faced with an unopposed blender of fascist propaganda, and may be immediately turned off the whole platform.
It is complicated, because the largest green energy manufacturer on the planet also has the largest CO2 emissions on the planet by far, three times that of the US - one could bring up the fact that they also have a lot of people, but how much of China's emissions are driven by export vs domestic consumption?
Also, the shenanigans Russia pulled with Germany has the collective West wary of becoming dependent on a hostile authoritarian country for any staple import.
I'm not saying Biden's perfect, far from it, but a strategy of "let's go chummy with this big authoritarian country, they can't attack us if our economies become codependent" has been tried here in the EU, and the results so far are hundreds of thousands dead and a nearly crashed economy.
In either case, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy, since only the poor would remain in a food desert, if you have money, you have options.
Do Google engineers get off on writing software that's only compatible within their own little world, then offering it as some de facto standard?
Google Cloud had a ton of these that make it arbitrarily hard to use.
