Taking a step back from "political junkie" role and into "guy that lives in America" role, Biden has two huge immediate issues bearing down on him, that I am interested to see how he tries to resolve:
1) Inflation. Damn, shit's expensive. Trips to the grocery store are getting painful. This is a monster of a problem since so many of the root causes are tied up in global issues, covid, etc that are outside of our immediate ability to control. Yes, its transitory, but it still hurts the pocketbook now.
2) Vietnam 2.0. I think the end of Afghanistan is going to trigger (as if we're not already feeling it a bit) a new era of "bad feelings" which is sort of a soft problem. Hearing how quickly the Afghan government has collapsed in the face of the Taliban literally made me feel a little hollow in my heart, even though I don't have a personal connection to the country. I've worked with a couple vets, even a guy that got his leg blown off driving convoys in Afghanistan, and wonder "How did we fuck it up so badly AGAIN?!". The idea of an entire generation of Afghanis having grown up in a relatively liberal climate and having that entire world end for them is deeply depressing to think about.
Lets see how he works through some of this stuff, I do not envy him or his admin at the moment.
