I'm starting this thread so Farmstud won't hijack Vitaman's very good thread on Trump's isolation.
Interesting question Farmstud. I can't think of any that represented a change, where the positives outweighed the negatives. There must be something though.
I had high hopes when he came to office that his trade policy would make more sense than Trump's, but those were dashed.

The American Rescue plan has brought internet to where Farmstud lives. Maybe he does not appreciate internet, I bet other farmers in the farming community do.

For the most part regarding China trade, Trump's tariffs still stand. One of the drivers of inflation. Those costs were just passed on to the consumer. Trump is now proposing a 60% tax on imports.
Capping drug prices like Insulin at $35 a month and total out of pocket at $2000 per year for seniors is a notable policy. Trump tried to do the $35 with an Executive order but that isn't as powerful. Biden got it through congress which is enforceable.
It takes years to realize any benefits or negatives to major policy changes. Usually into the next presidential term or after.
Reality is a President might sign the bills but it is a long process to get things through congress. Executive orders are limited in scope and are easier to overturn buy courts or congress...

Bipartisan Infrastructure Law has a lot of good stuff going on. Rebuilding roads and bridges, climate change initiatives, modernize military infrastructure, creates up to 600,000 jobs.
Two strongest years of job growth in history.
More than 40 million borrowers stand to benefit from student debt relief.
Increased the maximum value of Pell Grants by $900.
Millions of Americans are saving $800 per year on health insurance coverage.

Building semiconductors at home through the CHIPS Act. Reduces our dependence on foreign chip manufacturing, and creates jobs. Could say it also is good for National Security to have more chip manufacturing capability here.

My guess is the below site may lean left and I admit I didn't read it all, but take it or leave it because it is what google gave me in my highly intense and highly stressful 15 seconds of research.
Anyway, it is silly to say the man has done nothing. Just because some things he has done may not have directly affected someone so one is unaware, does not mean it has not had a positive impact on millions of others.

And in all fairness and objectivity for Trump fans, I included a similar list for you as well from the same site:

LM, good link. Renewable energy is the number two source of electricity under Biden & Kamala. Perhaps electricity is not important to Farmstud.

All the other acts like infrastructure- and Chips acts, and even the forgivness for bad actor lending in predator schools- etc. as well as capping on some medicaid pricing for insulin are just a few items. Now- if Biden either now or in the short term takes on new strategies towards the border- that would likely be a good idea also.
Believe it or not- oil output has increased since both Trump an Pence left office. It's actually up 16% since Jan 2021 when Biden took office.
Oh- and Brandon hasn't been indicted and screaming "witch-hunt" for 7 yrs straight like a fucking parrot with Tourrets.

I think the bipartisan border bill they tried to pass back in February was a great start toward solving the problem. If only Trump had not scuttled the bill the republicans could have campaigned on solving the border issue. Let’s hope the conservatives get something comparable after the 2024 election. My guess is that the house will be under democratic control and they won’t want to pass the same bill as before.

Nope, wrong as can be. I’ve had DSL or fiber optic since 2003ish.
On the other hand Biden’s EPA regs is destroying engines used everyday and dramatically increasing repair costs and dependabilty

Electricity is important, but wind and solar are increasing costs and reducing reliability so a disaster in the making.

Please cite the information you are quoting your knowledge from, and also the engines that BIDEN's policies are affecting. The prior made engines on all farm equipment are exempt and grandfathered in. Further, a lot of industrial equipment is NOT the target of ill-informed middle America- as the power needs and durability for farm equipment and other high power off-grid equipment are designed to operate. This is just more talking points from Anti-EV equipment that will never be on the farm. Something else that's funny is there is always a place for solar in sunny climates. Last I checked- When there isn't a fucking tornado telling ppl in the corn belt to get the fuck out-, there is a lot of summer sunshine there too.
Just saying.

Just another question for FS, when there isn't a river for hydro electricity and there is only a coal fired power plant- how do you think those locomotives that bring the coal over to run those plants operate? Give you a hint- they have generators that make electricity to power those big wheels. Nobody thinks that cleaner energy is going to be 100% replacing diesel or gas motors- but the options of making them part of the process and efficient should be a part of the solution as much as just burning oil and coal to drive the heartland. That's a no-brainer. Hell go back 120 yrs and they were using horses- 1892 is the beginning of the tractors out in the mid west, and alot was still being done by horses till the 30's and 40's since they were expensive. So - why is it so hard to embrace new ideas and tech when this latest shit was only around for the past 100 yrs or so??
Fire up the Yoked Oxen much???
What would be wrong with allowing trains to have an electric grid supporting them when it was available to do so?? - just like every larger city does for it's train systems in general.

You have no concept of the amount of electricity it would take to do what you say. let alone the size of cable to provide the electricity to the end where it is needed.
