What an incredibly self-centered and damaging thing to say.
These policies may not be helping you right now. But they are helping millions. And they aren't making future change harder to enact than before. On the contrary, it sets the status quo a little bit more positive, making future improvements look like less of a drastic change.
Don't EVER bash progress. Bash inaction and bash negative side effects.
I'm sure that's very easy to say when you are comfortable, have health coverage, and are likely white.
Much less easy if you are poor, homeless, an asylum-seeker, immigrant, Palestinian, live in a climate-affected area....
Also, I care much more about those less fortunate than me than I do myself. The person I responded to was the one to make it about themselves. I'm the one talking about those who are being ignored, while you are the one ignoring them. Don't talk to me about "damaging".
Something good happened to someone. You said "Bad, not me!!" instead of "Great, now this!".
That is bad.
I'm just going to repost this because you are continuing to ignore the people that actually matter here.
Because there is nothing "great" about any of this. None of this fixes any of the problems, which is great for comfortable people like you.
That is bad.

More Americans have Healthcare than ever before thanks to The American Rescue Plan.
Biden's initiatives have housed 1.2 million homeless people, and climbing.
I was formerly homeless and didn't have Healthcare. If Biden was president then, I would have been in a much better spot.
How about you? You sound like you have never been homeless and have no idea what it's like.
