The Biden Administration banned noncompete agreements for most U.S. workers. Most salaried workers became eligible for overtime pay. Net neutrality to keep our internet from corporate control was reinstated (after Trump reversed it). Airlines must automatically refund passengers of canceled airline flights. Obama banned Chlorpyrifos, a dangerous neurotoxic pesticide sprayed on our crops; Trump lifted the ban; Biden reinstated the ban. The Biden Administration has cracked down on junk fees such as capping credit card fees. The Biden Administration banned medical debt from showing up on credit reports. This is what it looks like when the government works on behalf of the people.
