Biden's decision against many years of tradition.

I've read an article written by Donald Judd, Kate Sullivan and Phil Mattingly on CNN about president Biden's recent decision. He believes that former president, Donald Trump should not recieve intelligence briefings, as most of former presidents did, after they were replaced. The current US president explained, when asked about this topic on CBS interview, that the reason for that lies in Trump's "erratic behaviour".

I think I understand Mr. Biden's opinion, especially after recent events on the Capitol, however I don't think that is the only reason. I'm not against fixing some of Trump's decisions, but I think Biden should focus on doing just that, rather than present him as an unpredictable person and slander him in the media. Even before, when he had just won the election he wanted to destroy Trump in the media instead of respecting the opponent. As he said himself, he "ran like hell to defeat him because I thought he was unfit to be president". He won, it's over, he should move on and do what he needs to do as a new president. If he doesn't want to let Trump get those reports than so be it, but he shouldn't continue to exaggerate Donald Trump's decisions and behaviour.

    This is a post written exactly in the way it was supposed to: report followed with your comment.
    By the way, I think Biden has moved on and if anyone is fixating on the past, it's Trump. And he's proved many times over that he was always and still is "unfit to be president".

Observation No. 3

 While I was in a shop recently, I noticed that there were already some products related to Christmas on shelves like sweets and decorations, even Christmas trees.  This is not anything new and surprising, it happens every year, however I do not know how to feel about it. I guess that it's kind of annoying because it's still significantly over a month left until Christmas and people have other problems to deal with currently. It makes me angry when I'm reminded that there are still a lot of things to do before December comes, many of which are definitely unpleasant. Moreover, waiting for 2 months makes Christmas feel even faster, you wait for so long working hard, and then it passes faster than a blink of an eye. And you return to the grey reality. In my opinion those companies should start advertising Christmas once December begins but not earlier.

Ban on assault weapons in the US. Would it be a good thing?

 Yesterday, I read a few weeks old article from the BBC about the US president's plan regarding the ban on assault weapons. He wants it due to mass shootings (especially the most recent ones). President Biden reminds that when such a ban was brought in 1994, it really helped to bring down these incidents. In my opinion background checking and ban on the most deadly types of weapons is a good thing. It's the government's obligation to do anything they can to stop violence and mass killings. However, the president should remember not to push it any further. He shouldn't forbid to have weapons completely. It's American's right to have them, it's their freedom. In some states people live far from civilization, and especially they need to have the opportunity to defend themselves and their land in situations when it's required.  https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-56509481

Observation No. 4

This weekend I noticed that there are a lot of people in the forest near my house. Of course, not as much as in a town, however just a few years ago, while on a walk there you wouldn't bump into someone else so often.  It is definitely related to pandemics. It's understandable that no one wants to stay at home forever and those who are scared of being infected in overcrowded cities look for replacements such as forests, but it gives the opposite results. Now I feel that the forests became overcrowded. It also has its consequences, more uneducated people in a forest, means more trash and pollution there. With all those disadvantages however, I don't think anything can be done right now. I guess that you can never hide from people these days, you should just stop trying.
