    Yep
    Let's make the border more porous and invite everyone in our unemployment and COVID notwithstanding.
    And let's start letting Muslims in from through those countries who can't properly screen again
    And while we are desperately trying to keep the economy going and to pick up let's increase regulations that will increase cost of expanding and doing business
    And, I take you mean CLIMATE accords we have not been in Vietnam for a long time, he just paid back China for Hunter's cash, with his cut, while making our business and manufacturing more expensive and noncompetitive, just wait for the tax increases he wants.
    And let's put our lives into the hands of the group who covered up for and praised China over COVID yea that's the ticket
    I betcha all federal buildings already have mask mandates
    OH and another level of bureaucracy we already have a logistics expert running it and the problem is not federal it is state and local and they are adjusting for it a brand new large vaccination location just opened up in my little city. You know he doesn't have a plan when his first announcement is hiring someone to tell him what should be the plan.
    And you left out he just ended our energy independence so we will have to rely on foreign sources and had to insure the safe passage of that oil in the ME where Trump did not enter us into a new war and our cost of energy will now start to rise which will effect not only the economy on a mega scale but also everyone's pocketbooks.

    Yea what a great start.

    Biden also asked for the resignation of NLRB general counsel Peter Robb, who he had received complaints about for being anti union.

    The Canadian Prime Minister wants him to reconsider stopping the Keystone XL pipeline. That was a really stupid executive order. It will raise the price of gasoline. It will force it to be carried in trucks and trains which will increase the risk and add to CO2 emissions.

    Gas cars will be banned before the pipeline is built anyways. I suggest you buy a horse and carriage since you won't be able to charge your car during the brown outs.

    Why would we go back into the Who instead of use the money to stock masks and prep for the next epidemic? They are just a redundant agency of the CDC.
    I am okay if we re-enter the Paris accords... I am just worried Biden will throw America under the bus and let us be used as a pggy bank for globalized socialism/redistribution of wealth.
    The rest you listed are fine as long as they didnt open up travel to the 'Muslim nations' that continually violate human rights and persecute women and people of other faiths. We need to open the doors to those that are persecuted in those countries, not the persecutors. It sounds like he did leave part of the 'ban on muslims' as the left likes to call it. Maybe Biden does support banning Muslims according to leftist logic.

    The whole thing does not have to be complete to be used. Shipment by truck or rail, is more expensive, more dangerous and increases CO2 emissions.

    Because the government is supposed to represent the unions not all workers?

    Yes, but the federal governments requirements for maintaining pipelines is considerably lax compared to State requirements and that opens the door to increased dangers. Also it decreases property value of the land it has an easement through. It is not without consequence.

    But that's the whole point of the Paris accords, to pay third world leaders to keep there people in poverty until the end of tome.

    What part is not true? More CO2 emissions shipping by truck and rail. More dangerous shipping by truck and rail. Costs more to ship by truck or rail.

    The plan was to ship to the states and the states take over from there. Some states are doing well. Most are falling short.

    Warp speed, just like in Star Trek,
    , doesn’t exist......yet. It’s just a slogan. Trump and the gop were good at slogans, terrible at governance.

    Way to go, Good Ole Joe. Unlike the worst president ever, Donnie "Sore Loser Donnie, Good Ole Joe actually wants to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN instead of MAKING AMERICA A THIRD-WORLD COUNTRY AGAIN.
    • Action on Covid-19: Biden will impose masking and physical distancing requirements on federal property — part of his “100-Days Masking Challenge” to get Americans to wear masks. He’ll move to rejoin the World Health Organization, following Trump’s decision to withdraw from the group. He’ll create a position of Covid-19 response coordinator and reestablish the National Security Council’s Directorate for Global Health Security and Biodefense, an executive team that Trump disbanded that handled pandemic response. More action is reportedly coming, including efforts to expand testing and set up “clear public health standards” regarding Covid-19.
    • Economic relief: Biden will ask federal agencies to extend federal moratoriums on evictions and foreclosures through at least March 31, which will likely help millions of Americans. He’ll also extend a pause on interest and principal payments for direct federal student loans through at least September 30. And Biden vowed to direct his Cabinet “to take immediate action to deliver economic relief to working families bearing the brunt of this crisis.”
    • Efforts to fight global warming: Biden will rejoin the Paris agreement, an international treaty binding countries to combat global warming. Biden will also sign an order reversing a wide range of Trump’s actions on climate change and taking new actions of his own. Included in that list: directing federal agencies to revise vehicle fuel economy and emission standards, imposing a moratorium on oil and gas leasing in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and revoking the Keystone XL pipeline permit. Biden’s team also promised further action in the coming weeks “with the urgency the science demands.”
    • Immigration reform: Biden will sign several actions and orders on immigration, largely reversing Trump’s work in this area. Biden will reinforce Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), which has provided legal protections to the children of undocumented immigrants. He’ll also reverse Trump’s travel ban, rescind Trump’s attempts to exclude undocumented immigrants from the census, and move to stop the construction of the border wall, among other steps. With Biden already proposing legislation to reform the immigration system, this is an area he’ll certainly come back to in the future.
    • Rejecting bigotry: Biden will sign an executive order establishing that “advancing equity for all … is the responsibility of the whole of our government,” directing federal agencies to act on that principle. The order will also rescind Trump’s 1776 Commission and limits on diversity and inclusion training within federal agencies. Separately, Biden will sign an order that acknowledges the ban on sex-based discrimination in the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and prohibits workplace discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity, including in federal agencies.
    • Improving government’s function: Biden will sign an order requiring “every appointee in the executive branch to sign an ethics pledge” and aiming to “ensure that executive branch employees act in the interest of the American people and not for personal gain,” building on similar action by former President Barack Obama. He’ll also pull back Trump-era rules on establishing new regulations while directing the director of the Office of Management and Budget to improve the regulatory review process. And he’ll issue a regulatory freeze to give his administration time to review new regulations imposed during Trump’s final days.

    Biden also asked for and received the resignation of the head of Voice of America a fairly recent Trump appointee.
