Yeah this is why I want to know exactly if it's just a credit since I have to imagine the vast majority of child poverty is from families that don't even file or taxes aren't the main expenditure they are facing.

I love the messaging on "We will cut child poverty in half!! :D"


Like uh... why don't you just eliminate child poverty? No? Am I crazy? What if we did something that just eliminated child poverty instead. Am I asking for too much? Is this a symptom of my whiny leftism?

remember that time bloomberg was accused of sexual harassment onstage during a debate and his reply was that "women might not have liked some jokes"

The best thing about the Mini Mike Organization is they required sexual harassment allegations at Bloomberg Media companies to go through the arbitration process.

Mini Mike had quite the record of settlements and PR spin over the last few years!

https://www.thecut.com/2020/02/mike-bloomberg-accused-of-workplace-sexual-harassment.html


quote:

According to the Post, when Bloomberg learned that former salesperson Sekiko Sakai Garrison (who sued the billionaire in the late 1990s) was pregnant in 1995, he reportedly told her to “kill it.” Other employees allegedly overheard the remark, but still, Bloomberg called Garrison shortly after the incident, denying that he’d insinuated she should terminate her pregnancy. Garrison was fired a few months later.

In her lawsuit, Garrison also recalls Bloomberg taking another female employee to task for her pregnancy, responding “what the hell did you do a thing like that for” upon learning the woman was having a baby. In another instance, according to the lawsuit, he allegedly screamed at a woman who was looking for a nanny, “It’s a loving baby! … All you need is some black who doesn’t have to speak English to rescue it from a burning building.”

In depositions from Garrison’s case, which they settled for an undisclosed sum, Bloomberg repeatedly denied the claims. “I never said those words and there would be no reason to do so, it’s ridiculous and an outrage,” he said, according to the Post.

Sexual harassment
In 2001, New York magazine published excerpts from a booklet compiled by a Bloomberg executive in 1990, cataloguing some of the boss’s more colorful workplace remarks. “Make the customer feel like he’s getting laid when he’s getting hosed,” he allegedly said.

“If women wanted to be appreciated for their brains, they’d go to the library instead of to Bloomingdale’s,” read another alleged Bloomberg quote, along with: “I know for a fact that any self-respecting woman who walks past a construction site and doesn’t get a whistle will turn around and walk past again and again until she does get one.”

Republicans wanted to decrease them by only 10 percent! while also funneling money into attacking Syria!!!

The Republicans also negotiated the bill down to a 12 percent reduction in per-capita nationwide infant cannibalization while also arming the border with matrix style caretaker robots that steal migrant infants and process them into giant "Overflow Facilities."

spending bills, on the other hand, those are perfect for sneaking in raising the minimum smoking age to 21

Nothing against that, it's just an example of how non-germane amendments happen all the time and they never had a problem with it tanking a bill until now.

I wrote-in Kamala Harris because I wanted my protest vote to make clear how appallingly low my standards are when the alternative is Trump. I could not bring myself to vote for a rapist, or for someone who is suffering cognitive decline. A write-in vote of Bernie seemed utterly pointless to me. I live in Massachusetts and if I lived in a swing state I very may well have voted for Biden. But my life would probably be really different if that were the case, so I can't really say for sure.

That is not how this protest vote would have been interpreted by any other person, hth

Probably writing in Mickey Mouse or Jimmy McMillan would have been more effective

Also Jimmy McMillan was right and ahead of his time and we should have listened to him

This big dumb corporate handout bill was not a good spot to try to walk that 15$ min wage in.

HOWEVER, it was the only possible spot to do it because now congress is going to go on another hard earned vacation and never pass another meaningful bill for the next 2 years.
