I’ll believe the economics are better when I’m not paying markedly more for everything in my life and my salary increases.
BINGO.
A recent visit to the hospital for someone close recently STILL sent me a bill for more than $5K and we have health insurance. Family members are still in debt from school loans which are about to resume repayment. Friends tell me they haven’t gotten raises in years.
It’s such a shit show out there yet the cEnTrIsT backstop types want us to celebrate crumbs of shit they made someone blow off the top of the dead rat on our plate.
They need BIG BOLD moves - even if the Rs later do the unbelievably stupid move of overturning them to show people that REAL TANGIBLE benefits exist as a result of them voting in Democratic representatives or turnout is depressed.
No one is going to show up for your attempt at a request for a mail in rebate coupon that can be used on 1 Tuesday in October for submitting a form to see if you qualify for a temporary pause on 💩. They show up for things like the “Rural Electrification” project. They show up for the interstate highway being built. They show up for Medicare, Social Security, Civil Rights Act, etc.
You want people to get excited, then pass something exciting. Abuse your power if you have to. I don’t care if Rs scream about it - people don’t care if what you do brings TANGIBLE help to them.
Food service workers haven’t gotten raises in decades. I finally quit when I threw my back out, but when I started in 96, I was making $20,000 a year as a line cook, and later $30,000 as a chef. When I went into management I got a whopping $36,000 as a GM. Meanwhile the prices on the menus have more than doubled. Dollar menus are non existent. It’s bullshit. I make more money working for myself a few hours a week growing flower and building computers than I ever would in food service.
