When Joe Met Jimmy Joe Biden was first elected to public office in 1970, the same year that Jimmy Carter was elected governor of Georgia. Two years later, in 1972, Biden was elected as a senator from Delaware, and four years after that, in 1976, Carter was elected to the presidency—with Biden as a worker bee on his behalf . So, during the late 1970s, Biden served in the Senate while Carter was in the White House. Then in 1980, when Carter was running for re-election, Biden appeared at the Democratic National Convention praising Carter on national television. In other words, Biden should remember well what life was like during the Carter administration. And he should also remember that Carter went down in a landslide defeat in 1980, losing 41 of 50 states—including Biden’s Delaware—to Ronald Reagan. President Jimmy Carter and Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr., greet Biden supporters at a $1,000-a-couple fund raising reception at a Wilmington, Delaware, hotel on … [Read more...] about Pinkerton: Joe Biden, First Elected in the 1970s, Is Bringing Back the 1970s

But the president has stayed away from commenting on the unionization effort taking place in the Amazon warehouse in Bessemer, Alabama. “I think it’s important for the administration to demonstrate during this campaign its support for unionization,” Stuart Appelbaum, president of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU), told HuffPost . “This is the largest campaign in many years, and this is a great opportunity for the administration to show working people what’s important to them.” The Alabama Amazon workers first filed notice of a vote to form a union in November in an attempt to become the first unionized workers in … [Read more...] about Biden Has Yet To Endorse Amazon Unionization Effort Despite Growing Pressure

Recent media reports lit up with news that the oil and gas industry has agreed to endorse a tax on carbon dioxide emissions. Several weeks ago, the American Petroleum Institute (API), one of the nation’s largest oil and gas trade associations, voted to support the tax as a replacement for current greenhouse gas regulations. Readers should realize that the API’s support for the carbon tax is based on at least four big myths. First, this support for the CO2 tax is based on the questionable notion that American society requires some regulatory motivation to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. It clearly doesn’t. Even under the Trump administration’s push for energy dominance, the U.S. reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emission s. Driven largely by electricity producers switching from coal to natural gas, but also magnified by last year’s COVID-19 lockdowns, the U.S. has reduced its CO2 emissions by 24 percent from 2005 levels . While GHG emissions are expected to increase slightly … [Read more...] about CO2 tax support is based in myth: Taxing essential energy harms more than it helps
