Yeah, these "foundations" and everything should be a point of concern. They're kind of weird.
But.
These fucking hacks.
Look, Biden's still Biden, but these fucksticks covered Trump's vast conflicts of interests for 0.5 seconds before just giving up when it became clear Trump simply didn't care about ethics.
Expect them to keep ringing this bell on Biden each week, however.

Remember his taxes? That was maybe a week of coverage then forgotten.
They're going to spend the next four years watching for any cough or hiccup and calling it a plague.
We just lived through the worst Presidency in US history *and* a pandemic and they think they can get back on their bullshit without batting an eye.
... and they're probably right. https://t.co/eeXFzVYAtl
Lotta people just expecting to snap back to the before times.

But I wouldn't trust the NY Times or Politico or many other outlets to report on it with our best interests at heart.
Rock and a hard place.
Not every headline was good for him, but he steered the conversation anyway.
Biden is making them fight to keep people's attention.

Remember when Trump hired actual white supremacists and people who had been awarded honorary titles and medals from actual nazi-identifying groups and the media gave it all of a day's worth of attention.

I’m torn on how to approach the idea of luck. I’m the first to admit that I am one of the luckiest people on the planet. To be born into a prosperous American family in 1960 with smart parents is to start life on third base. The odds against my very existence are astronomical.
I’ve always felt that the luckiest people I know had a talent for recognizing circumstances, not of their own making, that were conducive to a favorable outcome and their ability to quickly take advantage of them.
In other words, dumb luck was just that, it required no awareness on the person’s part, whereas “smart” luck involved awareness followed by action before the circumstances changed.
So, was I “lucky” to be born when I was—nothing I had any control over—and that I came of age just as huge databases and computers were advancing to the point where I could use those tools to write “What Works on Wall Street?” Absolutely.
Was I lucky to start my stock market investments near the peak of interest rates which allowed me to spend the majority of my adult life in a falling rate environment? Yup.

"Luck is the flip side of risk. They are mirrored cousins, driven by the same thing: You are one person in a 7 billion player game, and the accidental impact of other people\u2019s actions can be more consequential than your own."
