Lawyer is a dying profession. It is becoming completely automated.


Nah, we will always need lawyers because law isn't data or fact driven.

Need some of them. But the vast majority of lawyer jobs have been automated already. Now you're lucky if you can get a job where you are locked in a windowless basement pouring over old case files that haven't been scanned yet for your boss who actually does the court stuff.

Yea but he did a lot of damage at the federal level which you aren't really stating. In 2015, Obama set up a pandemic response team because he already foresaw an incoming health pandemic. Trump disbanded that response team in 2018. He undermined a lot of scientist's advice to the public and kept saying that no one could have prepared for this. There is literally footage of Obama AND Biden in 2015 explaining why a pandemic response team was necessary. He left a full pandemic preparedness plan for this current administration. So yes, Trump's negligence definitely trickled into an economic impact (not to mention the lives lost).


How exactly would a response team have prevented the economic recession during a pandemic? Trump may be right about "no one could have prepared for this". Even in the heavily left-leaning France currently, they went under lockdown again and many workers and business owners there are not happy to say the least.

The US is ranked 9th in deaths per million population and 17th in cases per million population. And the top 4 states in deaths per million population are all blue states that have been some of the harshest on lockdowns and masking.

I get that it's fun to try to blame Trump for everything under the sun, but at least attempt to keep things accurate. <3


I said most states, which considering there are 216 is accurate. There have been studies showing the effectiveness of masks and social distancing. One done in my hometown at Kansas University.

The reason there are more cases in the blue states mentioned is because of population density (thos 4 states are at top of pop density list). There is a direct correlation when i compare population density and deaths/million.

Perhaps you were sleeping during the first 3 years of Trump's 1st term? This current year's recession isn't due to policy, but covid.


Can you point out a specific positive economic factor/trend/outcome that was the direct result of a reversal of an Obama policy, rather than a continuation of an existing trendline?

Looking like 270 - 268 in favor of Biden, no?

Edit: With PA potentially going blue and shaking that up completely?
