Mancin is definitely on some maverick John McCain shyt. But McCain usually rolled 5-7 deep. 2024 is a while too so he’s going to flex for a min. Then probably flip parties after the Dems get the blame for a stagnant economy

How much y’all wanna bet that nothing changes. Manchin votes for the relief bill but gets his wish by cutting the tax break and keeping it at $400 ending in august.

All this drama for no reason.

is it possible that they shot too high by doubling the min wage in 5 years, and they should have just went with 12 and then raised it again after 12 worked out?

id rather have 12 actually happen than 15 "get fought for" and not happen. no one would have got away with voting no for 12

If manchin gets rid of the tax break on UI I am going to lose my fukking mind

Edit: Holdup. Is the tax break on 2020 taxes or 2021 taxes

that shyt should be for both years but i think it will only be for this next round of UI which is bullshyt.

The boost should be tax free. This COVID wasn’t our fault. It was trumps got dammit.

i mean apparently its already 12 in arizona, thats sinema

manchin said hed do 11, he woulda fukkin done 12

i DOUBT the parliament steps in on 12 like they did with 15

seems like a miscalculation 12>>>>7.25

 

[the cac mamba]

Looks like we have found Saajar Enjeti brehs. You know damn well they aren’t coming back to anything if 12 per passed. 15 is low but adequate.

i dont get the napoleon reference, but to say "15 is low but adequate" given the effort's status on march 5th is embarrassing

15 doesnt have a pathway. it sucks, but tell me youre not really pretending otherwise

 

[the cac mamba]

crazy, a democrat being realistic about what it means to have vaccines for everyone in the country by May

i guess the republicans did get to him

 

[I Really Mean It]

Left wing Twitter has gone off the deep end

End of the day this bill is putting $12,800 in the pocket of the average middle class family with 2 kids, not including the ACA subsidies, and UI expires in 10 days. This is not a position driven by logic.

Not everyone has a family to benefit from that, nor do people whose material condition requires immediate assistance care about those benefits. Their most pressing concern is seeing $100 less a week of unemployment benefits and a shorter duration of benefits than what was originally planned.

Dont sit here and lie like you didn’t steal that 12 dollar compromise shyt from the rising this week. You stay sharing their talking points. No shyt 15 doesn’t have a pathway that’s what happens when you run crap candidates constantly that a back benching “‘moderate” from a state like WV can play kingmaker. Either way 12 wouldn’t have faced pushback also. Rethugs don’t want to move the min wage.
