Yeah, issue for Mitch is that the Dem UC is "just add 2K with no other bullshyt." The GOP is going to do a UC that gets arcane about it and tries to add shyt to the request. That doesn't work by comparison.

Mitch isn't that bright and only has like 2-3 strategies in his playbook, but he gets by with it because this country is extremely racist. In rare times like this, though, he's going to depress GOP-inclined voters by trying to do a bunch of fukkery.

It's going to pass eventually, they have the numbers to out weigh a veto IF he vetoes it. But this delays things into January which will fukk over a lot of people.

My bad, I should've been more specific. My sister is on PUA and she said it shows she still has $1600 left in available credits. She gets a measly $150 a week after taxes.

Will they cut if off completely come Saturday or pay her the rest in a lump sum before they shut PUA down?
Here in Maryland it cuts off, regardless of the amount left. Unless they extend it or your state is different, this week is the last one she can claim and be paid for.

And that’s how we get nothing that we want. The bad people prey on ignorance.
I feel like if you possess knowledge you owe it to yourself, to not be stubborn but rather to teach others.

This is especially and double important if you're black and educated / well off.

I agree completely, which is what I try to do.

However, you also owe it yourself to not be ignorant of the world you live.

Mos def, but that's almost like speaking from a place of privilege because a lot of people want to do better, but don't even know where to start. Or simply don't have the "skills / discipline", to get there on their own.

It's easy for a lot of us Ivory Tower cats, to get on here and say people should know better, but the reality is, not everyone had that stable environment growing up, which made it possible to thrive, learn and apply rudimentary stuff.

Family, I understand what you are saying.

But we learned civics in middle school. My middle school was low achieving that it closed down. While I’m upset at someone not knowing the difference between the houses in this nation’s legislature, Im more upset that people are allowed to pass through schooling without knowing that.

You can not be aware of who Chuck Schumer or Mitch McConnell is if you don’t live in those states, but if you don’t know about the work those bodies of legislatures do, that means it’s a failure of American education.

That isn’t Ivory Tower stuff.
