That's just the opening line in negotiations, then Biden needs to sit down with Mitch and find somewhere in the middle to land the best deal

Start the negotiations by giving your opponent everything they're asking for and then try to reach a deal between that and your opponent's wildest dreams

Then have someone on your team blame those obstructionist boogeymen you didn't have to listen to at all for why good thing didn't happen

Repeat for all promises made during campaign

Bernie's coat is both too expensive, and not expensive enough. Truly Schrodinger's coat.

I wonder what's gotten more media coverage in the last year: Biden's rape or Bernie's clothes?

At least two of the president’s top economic advisers, Heather Boushey and David Kamin, have privately expressed reservations about the size of the checks and at what level they would begin to phase out for higher-income people, according to three people familiar with internal discussions.

The aides worry that the checks will cost so much that there won’t be enough left over in Biden’s proposed pandemic relief bill for other priorities -- supplemental unemployment benefits, an expanded child tax credit, or aid to states and local governments, the people said.

Why does Myanmar have so much conflict? Is it one of those "Britain left and just pit everyone against each other" kinds of situations?

myanmar was in the unfortunate position of being directly between the british raj and french indochina during the height of the anglo-french squabbles of the 1800s, and as such spent the entire 19th century being involved in a series of invasions by the east india company to secure the indian border from the perfidious frenchman.

the british did a lot of horrible poo poo, and after the conclusion of the third anglo-burmese war they decided to form a Prize Committee that stripped the former government of literally all assets

quote:

Following the annexation of Burma, valuable possessions of the Burmese Government were seized by the British. Many items that could be easily transported such as gold, jewellery, silk and ornamental objects were shipped back to Britain and presented as gifts to the royal family and notables of Britain,[5] others were auctioned.[6] An organisation, the "Prize Committee, Mandalay", was instituted to dispose of the possessions of the former Burmese government.[6] The majority of auctioned items were sold to Army and Navy officers and civil servants as well as the occasional European traveller.

Items made of valuable metals which were damaged or deemed to be of little artistic value were melted down for bullion. Articles deemed to be of very high value were shipped to the Executive Engineer, Calcutta.[7] Some items of high religious importance, including 11 gold idols of Lord Buddha, were retained by the Calcutta museum to be restored and if later requested returned to descendants of Burmese royalty. Machinery, steamers and items of practical value were usually transferred to the British government or purchased at well below market value.[7] Ordnance including cast-iron guns, cannons and field guns were for the most part destroyed or disposed of in deep water.

and then they discovered the vast mineral wealth in the south and turned the entire "colony" into a carribean-style resource extraction operation with gem miners forced to work at gunpoint and all arable land burnt down and turned into rubber plantations

this, for some reason, did not lead to a stable foundation for a functioning civil government after the british packed up and left

That's a great price. A capable, cold-weather, winter coat, regardless of style, is expensive because of materials and labor. I'm a dirty poor, and my coat is comparable to that. For the poor, clothing is an investment and sometimes the cost-benefit analysis favors the more expensive option.

Good thing there's buying on layaway and pay-day loans!
