DEMS HAVE POWER NOW
SO WHY ARENT THEY PASSING THAT?


YOU KNOW THE ONE
THAT WAS GONNA GIVE ESSENTIAL WORKERS HAZARD PAY...

THE ONE WITH
THE 600 DOLLAR UMEMPLOYMENT
BENEFITS THAT HELD UP THE CURRENT
STIMULUS PACKAGE FOR MONTHS...


THE ONE THAT THEY NEVER
WANTED TO PASS BUT ONLY
DID BECAUSE THEY KNEW
THE REPUBLICANS WOULD BLOCK IT.


INTERESTING....

All republicans and Manchin would block that

a direct quote from Manchin

“$600 in rural America and rural West Virginia is sometimes more than what they make when they work on a weekly basis,” he said. “If you lost your job because you had to shut down your business and because of the health care crisis, then we should keep you whole. If your paycheck was $500 a week, we should pay you $500 a week until the markets open back up, we get a vaccine and people go back to normal.”

Also 600 unemployment isn't what held up the stimulus package at all, it wasn't even what they were pretending the issue was. The Dems NEVER said 600 wasn't something they were willing to negotiate down.

Republicans wanted corporate liability protection from covid lawsuits in any bill and dems mostly wouldn't budge there and Dems wanted what Republicans deemed to be a bail out "poorly run democratic states and cities"

Both siders have a very valid point like pre-Obama(I once read an article about how Sarah Palin was the first insane radical right winger legitimized by McCain making her his running partner that I agree with) but the current GOP is too far gone.

Maybe a few years ago, hell even the beginning of last year they would have a point. I've dabbled in bothsiderism for years. But after last year with Corona and the recent fukkery with the GOP the both sider camp comes off as myopic at best mentally retarded at worst.

Not exactly wrong, there's people I work with that have kids that worked random jobs like at the Movie Theater, Disneyland etc that were pulling down 4K a month when usually they made like 2 :russ:

Yeah great for them, I would have loved to be 17/18 and get that cash. But if they had more of a sliding scale you could possibly get them there 2K and maybe bump up higher earners to 5K to try and make them whole as well. But who knows :yeshrug:

Im just speaking to the fact that the Heroes act as it was would be struck down, and as for the motivations of the proposed $600 dollar a week unemployment, when that bill was written we were just coming off getting that weekly and the democratic party wanted to continue that.

As far as hazard pay for essential workers goes, that would be very nice but I doubt it.
