yeah, but they shouldnt get everything they ask for. good opportunity to force them to get their house in order and reform spending
politicians are utterly unwilling to confront those issues, now they have an excuse
i have a personal gripe against pub trans being supported federally. BART in particular is terribly managed, employees are overpaid and it costs too much and covers too little
We still doing this, same shyt they been saying since June
This is the way.
. We got the economy in shambles, people who kept their jobs but got their hours and business drastically cut, and essential workers who never got their hazard pay despite working through any and every shutdown, but they "don't need a $1200 check."
Never change, America.
How one Bay Area janitor made $276,000 last year
take cover. cant say that
most people would agree those people need checks, but we can't/won't target like that - it takes too long. just like there are people who made 100k in 2019 at their small biz or restaurant sitting here making 50k this year who didn't get the first stimulus check because they "made too much" based on 2018/2019 tax filings. the shyt aint perfect. so what we can do is make sure those out of work and with severely cut hours get more weeks of UI eligibility, get supplemental UI benefits, that small businesses don't continue to go under and that states have the budget to support these efforts - that should be the focus right now (and the past 3 months), we got a senate who isn't letting much more than that through.
Never change, America.
