Joe Biden using his farewell address this week to lament the threat of oligarchy and concentrated wealth evokes the internet’s favorite hotdog meme: “We’re all trying to find the guy who did this.” (Cue: eyeroll).

Over 50-plus years in government, Biden periodically backed the financial deregulation, trade deals, bailouts, and bankruptcy initiatives that fueled the problem (and I’ve spent 25 years in journalism and politics trying to expose and combat so many of those Biden betrayals). He also became president in no small part because of financial support from the oligarchy and he spent his final month in office bequeathing Presidential Medals of Freedom to tycoons and moguls

What’s more, Biden insisted in his farewell address that he’s “concerned about the potential rise of a tech-industrial complex” — in the very same week The Lever reported that he brushed off dire warnings from his own Energy Department and delivered an executive order providing a huge gift to tech oligarchs for their artificial intelligence buildout.
