This country is just an absurd parody of itself at this point. And I don't know who to be angry with most. Biden for not standing his ground. Manchin and Sinema for obstruction. Republicans who are watching this and laughing at all this fukkery, knowing they're about to take over. Or the voters, most of whom who aren't outraged and give absolutely no fukks about how much they're getting screwed over.

I am about to say fukk it. Lets just give the keys to the proto-fascist of the Republican party and watch them drive this sorry excuse for a nation off the cliff. Perhaps maybe voters will stop taking the leverage they have for granted and vote in senators who are more conscionable and keep their constituents best interest at heart. Thats what it all boils down to at the end of the day.

what's the funding mechanism for the paid leave and I'm assuming it applies to private companies of x size?

Dems could really play Manchin cutting family leave out right if they continue to paint him as a misogynist for it.

"We're going to let a man tell women they can't have paid maternity leave? :usure:" Gillibrand and Jayapal are already doing this.

There is a chance Manchin is overplaying his hand on this one.

The federal government has failed. Corporations too ingrained.

So after hundreds of days of negotiating, the only real tangibles left are
Pre-K (which is a huge handout to corporations if we are being real)
expanding of Pell Grants

I've been voting, donating, and phone banking since 2004, and I'm fukking done. :camby:
Can't even knock you.

The lesson here is to stop stanning candidates and start organizing. We need more unions and stronger community groups. None of these goofy politicians and top-down shyt.
