The American Prospect has some really good recent articles about this. We've entered a new age of personal pricing. Companies have so much data on us that the price that I see when I visit a website is no longer necessarily the price that you see.

My Asus zenbook, purchased in 2015, is still going strong. They're pretty affordable and at least from my experience have held up well. I'm pretty sure you can run Linux on them too.

Democracy Now is my main source

I also listen to NPR to hear what narratives the state department is pushing

Easy. Threaten them. Remove them from committees. Cut their funding from DNC. Many many things could have been done.

You would learn more if instead of asking "what could they have done" but instead asking "why didn't they do anything".

They didn't do anything.

Did Biden fight tooth and nail to push through his agenda? Nope.

So it's completely reasonable to say that Biden allowed childhood poverty to double under his watch.
