"The conventional wisdom today is that Biden’s bet [on the IRA] was a bust....Every part of that story, however, is at best incomplete and at worst simply wrong. The law did, in fact, deliver votes for Democrats. And key components of it are still on the books." – @leahstokes.bsky.social

It's not unclear. He has every intention of making it his personal jet, and no intention of ever paying the hundreds of millions we've spent on it. The only thing that's unclear is whether Dems will be able to stop him, or at least make him pay back the money before taking it.

The data show people are largely unprepared for bear encounters and naive to their possible consequences. Dogs ran away, fought with bears, provoked confrontations, drew owners in to fight off bears barehanded, and even boomeranged bears back to people.
