These guys are the short term.

Now, we are 17 days away from the start of Donald Trump’s second term, and Biden — or more accurately, the team around our mumbling, stumbling octogenarian president — is trying to push through a difficult-to-rescind ban on new oil and gas drilling in large sections of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, enacted last-minute changes to the H-1B and H-2 visa programs to increase the number of foreign workers in the U.S., locked in hybrid work protections for tens of thousands of staffers at the Social Security Administration, set a new Paris Climate Agreement goal to reduce U.S. net emissions by 61-66 percent in 2035 (that one will be easier to rescind), and attempted to hinder efforts to increase U.S. exports of liquid natural gas.

Dear lame ducks. It’s over ok? Go home. Have a few mimosas and some Hors D’oeuvres. Relax now. Give me credit because I’m trying to say GTFO nicely.
