My demands for President-elect Joe Biden.

I am glad to hear that more and more Republicans are calling for President Donald Trump to concede the presidential election and move on.
I read this from one of my news feeds today. It may even have been FOX:
"Former national security adviser John Bolton on Sunday called on Republican leaders to publicly reject President Donald Trump’s unsubstantiated claims of widespread voter fraud and acknowledge President-elect Joe Biden’s victory.
“I think it’s very important for leaders of the Republican Party to explain to our voters, who are not as stupid as the Democrats think, that, in fact, Trump has lost the election and that his claims of election fraud are baseless."
But that does not mean that Joe Biden is the Second Coming of Christ, and that our Country is going to be "cured" because the "Wicked Witch is Dead."
Here are some of things I want to know:
*How will you, Mr. Biden, ensure that more jobs will come back to the United States, and that fewer of our products will say "Made in China" on them?
*How will you, Mr. Biden, ensure that our Police are respected and supported when they perform the difficult duties assigned to them, including dealing with the mentally ill?
"How clearly will you state that there is a difference between protesters executing their First Amendment rights and rioters and looters engaging in criminal activity?
"What common goals are you, as President, establishing for us to aspire to in our day-to-day activities?"
If I don't get clear answers to these questions, I may vote for Bugs Bunny in 2024.

I voted for Bugs this year. That means he'll get two votes in 2024.
My hope is that President-elect Biden thinks of the American people first and foremost and NOT a few senators and congresspeople who want him to do nothing but push their agenda. The people have to come first, not the politics of the party (or a faction of the party).

@wolfgirl569 I think it's his niece who wrote the book. She's a psychologist, and so am I, so it should be a good read for me. My brother read it and said it was good.

We'll have to wait for those in the coming days. I think they are just waiting for the formal turnover if Trump would really give in to his party mates to concede this soon. I think the legal team of Trump is busy getting all they got to convince the courts to favor them.

the 'nly way to get those jobs back'n the u.s. 'tis to follow trump 'n lower epa standards. that's why such left'n the 1st place, the companies'd no desire to take care 'f the 'nvironment. china'n other countries hungry fer jobs happily took 'em. i can't wait fer the department 'f interior's fanny to be kicked to the curb, 'long with his cohorts. so much damage's been done that cannot be remedied.

Really? I haven't heard that. From comments I read on FB and elsewhere they don't want him to concede.

@TheHorse Because they support Trump and they know that a lot of fraud has been happening in this election. They want him to keep fighting it. Now I am talking about American people who are Republicans and not Republicans in Congress. I don't know what they think about it.
I have not read her book. I don't even know who his niece is.

Biden will have a tough row to hoe the next 4 years. I don't envy him.

Unfortunately you missed the boat on this one, sir. Because Biden already said many times during the campaign what he will do.
As for jobs, we had the highest level of job creation in a very long time under Trump, so unless Biden can do more (and typically democrat policy stifles jobs more than anything), I don't think we need to worry about jobs from Biden because there won't be any. Furthermore, he also said he will raise corporate taxes against all the data that said LOWERING the corporate tax under Trump not only brought many companies TO America, but brought many BACK to America. So, jobs are out under Biden because smart companies will run from the taxes, not stay here to pay them.
Support the police? I heard Biden talking about defunding the police and he supported BLM, both the movement AND the Marxist organization. The democrats were very vocal in their lack of support for law enforcement. So, I think police will have less resources under Biden. Not more. And nothing will improve police relations with the citizenry under a Biden administration, much like it WORSENED when Obama was in office.
As for Biden stating there is a difference between 1st amendment rights and looting, that too was already discussed in my comment and established in his campaign. He and they support BLM, both the movement and the Marxist organization, and they support the unrest calling it 'justice.' So, we will not see any improvement there, and likely will see ENCOURAGEMENT of MORE civil unrest, not less.
As for establishing common goals for us to aspire to in our day to day activities, I think it is clear we won't have to worry about that either. We will have less jobs, lower pay, higher taxes...our goals will be simply to survive through four years of misery.

No President can bring the jobs back without significant backlash. Not only will the backlash come from other nations, but it will also severely impact the economy in the form of hyperinflation. Businesses that had been getting the products for super-cheap would now be forced to significantly raise prices. If done over a period of decades, it wouldn't be so bad, but if done quickly, it would be disastrous.
For decades, the federal government was worked to militarize the police. Not only do they get surplus military equipment, but they also have an unspoken rule to hire only low-IQ people, for fear of high-IQ people getting bored in the job. This is one reason most police were former soldiers. This is real, look it up if I sound crazy. The real question should be how do we reverse decades of this unconstitutional militarization?
While Bugs would be AWESOME! I'd like to invite you to research the US Transhumanist Party. It's seriously the only party that is addressing the concerns with advancing technology like AI/Robotics in law enforcement/military and other radical tech. The other parties are simply stuck in 20th-century thinking and platitudes.
While this is a bit of a long read, I share it to help people think of more pertinent questions to pose to current leaders to be more proactive in adapting to the coming changes:

@TheHorse Yup. It is by design, apparently. Here is an article about a man who sued because he was barred for apparently having a high-IQ
