by my quick count all of them except for 2 are related to undoing what Trump did or is related to covid https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/bidens-executive-orders-notable-actions/story?id=75500311
I hate this, Congress needs to limit EOs big time....the President's job is not to make laws....it is to sign them INTO laws. DD
I tend to agree but why we've had the last four Presidents rely on them so much is Congress isn't doing their job. Also for Biden many of his EO's are just undoing EO's from Trump.
People act on them......I am 100% for removing the filibuster as it is not what the founders intended and was only put in to stop Jim Crow..... Let's go back to majority rules as the forefathers wanted. DD
I am not disagreeing with you, on your point of what the forefathers intended. But EOs aren’t federal laws thus have many limitations.
I'll commend Biden on trying to be a mix of TR, FDR, and LBJ. We're still way too early on to see how that works out but this is a move I can get behind. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy...tbuster-status-in-push-to-unwind-bad-mergers/ https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy...tbuster-status-in-push-to-unwind-bad-mergers/

I like it but if he can get some of this passed through Congress and make it the law of the land I’d love it.
It's insane how the ultra wealthy have made brainwashed so many morons like yourself for fighting for them. You think concentrated power in big tech and meat processing is a good thing? You think people shouldn't have the right to repair their own farm equipment or their own cell phones ? Wages have been stagnant for decades while corporate buybacks have been soaring. Business spend more on stock buybacks than they do on R&D and you think that's a good thing? you damn clown

I'm really surprised this isn't getting more discussion. This is potentially one of the most sweeping EO's that could make profound changes to the economy.
Media isn't interested in any policy or how biden is actually making people's lives easy or fixing our broken system. This is what reporters are obsessed with It's crazy how people don't like competency and professionalism
"What’s Missing from Biden’s Antitrust Executive Order": https://thebulwark.com/whats-missing-from-bidens-antitrust-executive-order/ excerpt: Second, aside from a passing reference to local newspapers being “shuttered or downsized,” the executive order is silent about an economic sector where consolidation has run rampant in recent decades: the media. I asked Press Secretary Jen Psaki about it during her daily briefing on Friday: KAREM: You said in the statement today that he’s going to take decisive action against consolidation in a lot of industries. Does that include the media industry? I mean, we suffer consolidation more than any other. So is your administration going to break up the large media conglomerates? PSAKI: I don’t have anything to predict or preview for you on that front. That’s a sad answer to a serious question. Busting up media monopolies is not only desirable but necessary to ensure the safety of our democracy. The present media landscape is dominated by a few behemoths that control nearly everything we see, read, or hear. If Biden is serious about breaking up monopolies and increasing opportunities for American workers, he has to attack the problems of large media companies. The constriction of information, the lack of diversity in newsrooms, the lack of independent reporting, and the news organizations providing information the audience wants to hear rather than what it needs to know—all this damages the reputation of journalists and journalism, so that, as Sam Donaldson puts it, when “the cry of ‘fake news’ and denunciation of the press as ‘enemies of the people’” are thrown at the press, “even the most careful and honest of news organizations” are tarnished. (Donaldson writes this in the foreword to my forthcoming book, Free the Press: The Death of American Journalism and How to Revive It, in which media consolidation is one of the issues I address.) If President Biden were to swing at the problem of media monopolies, that would definitely put him in the realm of presidential heavy hitters like trust-busting Teddy. more at the link
