What comes first? Getting your sister pregnant or becoming a Republican. Does getting your sister pregnant, turn you into a Republican? Or did turning into a Republican make you get your sister pregnant?

Asking the real questions.

Why in the world would you ever want a state owned ISP? Why in the world would you justify that with the "in the name of national security" excuse?

Because the U.S. private system is a series of monopolies, there are literally areas with only one choice of ISP the free market in the U.S. for telecoms has been a dismal failure.

IIRC Bills mom gave him the loan to buy DOS and was on the board of IBM and pushed for MS-DOS to be chosen as their OS. I could be wrong on the details but it sounds like Bill Gates mom is the person most responsible for his success.

What differentiates "Bidenomics" from the macroeconomic decisions of the previous administration?

Bidenomics is direct investment with specific goals, it essentially treats more of the economy the way that military spending is treated. Big public spending that offsets risks and makes things safer for private investment to follow, its pretty much targetted Public Private Partnerships. It's essentially a way to bargain with private equity, the government will create de-risk private investments in infrastructure in exchange for being allowed to impose regulations again.

Trumpenomics was all deregulation all the time, environmental, workplace protections etc all sacrificed at the alter of free market doctrine for the promise of growth, just pure trickle down bullshit. Oh and tarriffs on imports and protectionism for U.S. corporations which led to daft race to the bottom trade wars that just devastated U.S. production and was entirely unproductive. Trumps trade policies were a contradictory mess.
