@guardian Well a whole lot of us are also experiencing the tremendously negative impacts of #Biden administration, ranging from economic issues through ways that his executive orders have interfered with scientific missions in the country.
It's not just poll numbers. The poll numbers might be reflecting the lived experiences that we are encountering under this administration, the ways in which he is directly responsible for harming prosperity throughout the US.
Sure: from new labor rules that interfere with workers' abilities to set their own hours through regulations that interfere with infrastructure like roads and even drainage ditches, actions of this administration have been directly impacting people in negative ways that don't get nearly enough attention.
Not law, regulation.
So the way it works is that Congress writes laws that often allow the executive branch to go through the notice and comment process to specify how they will be implementing the law, so different administrations are allowed to promulgate different interpretations of the law. That can get pretty messy, so it would be nice if we would elect congresspeople who wouldn't put all of that on the executive branch's shoulders, but never mind.
So a lot of people in the national labs were recently told by the executive branch that their classification in the Department of Labor policies were being revoked, they lost their jobs and they were reclassified as wage earners instead of salaried professionals, with a whole bunch of strings coming from that, restrictions on their abilities to control their work hours and stuff like that.
These aren't new laws. These are new policies coming from the president under the new administration, and it really screwed over a whole lot of them.
