President-elect Biden will spend 2021 trying to return America to what he considers a more normal time, while President Trump tries to block control of the Republican Party, all at a time when misinformation and alternative narratives are getting worse.

- Yes, but: “Technology companies tend to move faster than regulatory agencies, even when regulatory agencies are actively investigating. It’s not a good prognosis for change.”
The Federal Reserve “He’s created this environment where there’s no risk,” but that can’t go on forever and Wall Street knows it, by Dion Rabouin of Axios.
- “It’s the fictitious economy … The nuts of buyers and sellers, of the market, of creating products and selling things, it’s not going well. But the Fed just said, if the stock market goes down, we’ll be here with our fakes fun money “.
