The (hilariously wrong) idea that Joe Biden is personally involved, perhaps due to the meme of his love of ice cream, is both entertaining and a fantastic window into the thought process of someone with a very poor understanding of civics.

From the article > The investigation comes after the Biden administration issued a sweeping executive order in July aimed at examining device repair restrictions across the board, including in the agriculture, healthcare, shipping, transportation, and technology sectors. I'm not arguing that Joe personally is involved with this investigation, but the right to repair does seem to be on the administrations radar.

I have it on good authority that Joe is currently in the situation room monitoring a DEVGRU raid on the Hamburglar's compound.

  Wait for the scandal, because it’s about to leak he was using US military equipment for his thievery. Not even the McMedia will be able to cover up the 22,000 humvees and 33 blackhawks we “donated”.

      That might work better if it was an English PM or something. Probably not. It wasn't that good

He picked the FTC chair didn't he? Khan just started mid June and is on a roll already. Its honestly refreshing that something is moving forward in this fundamentally broken country.

Hey, if this isn't part of his team's strategy it should be. Widely agreeable, very approachable PR win.

You are right, however it may be worth (reference: Michael Lewis's excellent book on Trump) keeping in mind that there will probably be an uptick in the amount (let's say) of government stuff because Trump left a huge amount of positions unfilled for quite a long time whereas Biden to the best of my knowledge hit the ground running with a fairly well drilled plan for what to actually do with all these positions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fifth_Risk https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fifth_Risk

Well his signature is on the Executive Order, and the order starts with “By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, and in order to promote the interests of American workers, businesses, and consumers, it is hereby ordered as follows:”. So I would say “hilariously wrong” and “poor understanding of civics” is a pretty bad characterization. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2021/07/09/executive-order-on-promoting-competition-in-the-american-economy/ https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-action... https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2021/07/09/fact-sheet-executive-order-on-promoting-competition-in-the-american-economy/ https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases...
