You're trying to assemble a defensible border around the Biden Administration, an inherently indefensible territory. Where am I doing that? I told you I wasn't talking Biden on a Trump thread and I haven't. You're either mistaking me for someone else or reading your own notions into my comments. Yeah. Like HUMAN INFRASTRUCTURE. Does that mean a lot to you? "Human infrastructure" is a thing. Been around for a while. A niche thing, seems to me. The sort of thing that gets discussed at new age conferences. I think it's iffy to assume that "infrastructure" subsumes "human infrastructure." If one wants to talk about human infrastructure, one should always preface it with "human," not just slip it in.

By “human infrastructure,” we refer to the arrangements of organizations and actors that must be brought into alignment in order for work to be accomplished. We are interested in large-scale collaboration and want to examine the human infrastructure that enables distributed work to get done. ics.uci.edu brookings.edu These types of infrastructure make up institutions that help maintain the economy. These usually require human capital and help deliver certain services to the population. Examples include the healthcare system, financial institutions, governmental systems, law enforcement, and education systems. investopedia.com.

You're trying to assemble a defensible border around the Biden Administration One more point on the subject of critical thinking. Conceptually, there is a difference between policy and culture (although, at a practical level, there is interplay). The Biden administration is establishing a set of policies. It is different from the Trump's. Concurrently, there is a culture war going on where the sides split by party. Throughout the life of this thread I have identified as a cosmopolitan in the culture war. As such, I relate more to the Biden folks (from whichever party). More precisely put, I am utterly disgusted by the other side of the culture war, the one in which Trumpers are so invested. That doesn't make me a Democrat. It doesn't make me a Biden acolyte or apologist. Because policy and cultural identification are two different things. And party identification yet another. You are mistaking my cultural identification with my policy preferences. That is sloppy thinking producing an inaccurate result.
