        It’s not even a start. You should be able to criticize ineffective or inconsequential actions that are clearly made to assure the public that something is being done without actually accomplishing anything without someone calling it “a start”.

        To be clear, while my tone here could easily be interpreted as aggressive towards you, I don’t meant it to be that way. It’s nice to think that maybe someone in the government actually wants to help the average worker and is actually willing to stand up to our capitalists but it simply isn’t the case. Our government officials not only profit from the capitalist we are asking the to limit but they often are those very capitalist.

      There have been actions as well. Among them an EO to the administration to work harder on antitrust enforcement. This has resulted in a significant increase in antitrust cases.

      When you see Biden “just talk about something” it’s a pretty safe bet to assume that quite a bit is already happening behind the curtains, or even in the open. He’s talking about it to bring attention to it as well.
