"The percentage of Americans who said the country is generally headed in the right direction has nearly doubled since former President Donald Trump left office in January, according to an NBC News survey released Sunday

The day after President Joe Biden's January 20 inauguration in Washington D..C., the same poll found only 20 percent of Americans agreed that the U.S. was "headed in the right direction." But that share improved to about 40 percent among 1,000 adults surveyed between April 17-20. But owing to lingering partisan divides, the president only had a very slight decrease of Americans who view him "very negatively.""

"Joe Biden is right that presidents can’t just click their fingers and fix things. But for his political prospects,
he might have been best not saying so out loud.

Biden is bolstering perceptions that his crisis-submerged presidency is beleaguered and gave Republicans a
vast opening Wednesday with several eye-opening statements about challenges weighing down his White House.

First, the President pointed out that there’s not much he can do to bring down record gasoline prices and the soaring
cost of food. Then he revealed that he didn’t know until April that the shutdown of a baby formula factory in February
would cause a supply crisis that has panicked parents of newborns. And despite airlifts of formula from Europe, he
said that shortage will not end for two months.
....
Biden is not the only member of his administration showing candor. On Tuesday, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen
commented that she was wrong to believe last year that inflation wasn’t a threat. She attributed the error to
unforeseen crises like Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and post-pandemic supply chain issues."

Joe Biden is right that presidents can't just click their fingers and fix things. Many problems are structural. There is no
magic wand to wave them away. Nevertheless, competent officials must know his people and their needs. They have
to weigh all policies carefully.

Biden certainly an expert in democratic politics in the US. The question is how much Biden knows and cares about
average Americans.

Many of the problems are structural. They cannot waived them away when they were prolonged for a very long time unsolved. Those structural problems already carried in Trump administration and some even before them. There is no magic wand for them to waive away because they take time to be solved too.. Incompetent officials worked along without the new administration know them in order to keep their job and pay too. The competent ones gave up their job and move on.

Another shooting, another headline:
"Philadelphia mass shooting on South Street leaves 3 dead, about a dozen injured."

Freedom to bear arm is structural. Straightly speaking, gun per se does not kill. Rather,
hopeless, frustrated, stressed, unhappy and/or extremist citizens use guns to kill people.
In a country of 340 million people, many will be unhappy for whatever reason at any time.
This is inevitable. Nevertheless, it is the US government's responsibility to satisfy the
people's legitimate needs and desires.

But gun restriction must be proceeded with great care. Else it is a bigger cause for further
violence.

Gun restriction does not worked anymore. It is more a restriction to the disadvantage to buy them. The rich and the well-to-dos have no restrictions for them. When they killed someone they can claim they have PTSDs. But if people of lacking and disadvantage will not be deemed in the same claim, too.. The best is to close down all arm factories and remove and dispose of all arms from the home of owners. They can place them in a gun clubs designed to store for them and for their retrieval as when they want to test their weapons at the gun club's range. By this way, their freedom of owning guns will remain but kept elsewhere in secure vault in a gun club, instead.
