The Biden administration announced a new rule Friday expanding safeguards against potential discrimination of gay and transgender Americans seeking medical care, in a reversal of Trump-era limitations that nixed federal health protections for members of the LGBTQ+ community.
This bill doesn’t affect me and I still think it’s suspiciously timed. So how is this narcissism? Genocide Joe sucks. Too say otherwise is lying to yourself and others
I never said this was narcissistic, I meant that, similar to the moving goalposts of the narcissists prayer being used by a narcissist for justification, some look for more and more reasons to discount good things that others have done.
Does the fact that the article states the administrations intended to work on this in 2021, and has been working on that since then earn them any grace?
Fuck if I know, do you know how long the process typically takes? I certainly don’t. I was googling this while walking the dog, I’m no expert.
I work as a government contractor and from my experience things can be held up by the silliest little things, and processes take a lot of time.
When the recent XZ security exploit, everyone was all worried about it nearly making it’s way into Debian, a popular flavor of Linux, and at work we just laughed and said that means we’d have to worry about it it in 10 years because we’re that slow.
Well then, yeah, I’d say it’d earn them a little grace, and I appreciate you actually talking about it instead of going down the “uR uH rUsSiAn TrOlL111one!” path. I still think it’s convenient timing, but it’s nice to see this was at least set into motion awhile back.
Yeah, an argument could be made that 2022 was a Senate election year, and this was fueled by that, but at that point we’re invalidating 2/4 years a president has to make changes.
On top of this, I wouldn’t be surprised by the first year being slow as they get situated, meaning year 3 is the only year that “sincere” change can be expected to be made, which is kind of…harsh. I’d hate for my accomplishments to only count 25% of the time.
I also really appreciate the discourse - I hope you have a great day.
Now that I think about it, didn’t Biden come into a locked GOP senate? I suppose it could be possible they were making it difficult as well maybe? Anyhow yeah, same. Thanks for the engaging conversation choom.
There needs to be something like the narcissists prayer for people who say stuff like this.
Let’s call it the haters prayer.
“He didn’t help.”
“And if he did, it wasn’t even that great.”
“And if it was, it’s not even really due to him”
“And if it was, it still doesn’t matter due to $INSERT_WHATABOUTISM_HERE”
“And if it still matters, he only did it to help himself (get elected).”
Amen.
Saving this for later use cause god knows I’ll need it.

It’s called “criticism”. Your shortsided-ness must not do you any favors.
Oh you can criticize all you want.

How come it’s just now going into effect?
