Have the Republicans filed lawsuits on this to stop the government from helping people yet? Because that is what Republicans do.
Stop voting for Republicans. They don’t want government helping us. They want government to fail.
Yup, and as we’ve seen recently with student loan forgiveness, is that standing doesn’t mean anything anymore. It’s completely unnecessary.
And now the fucking Cato Institute is suing to stop Biden’s aggressively reasonable income-based repayment plans. The fuck???
Unfortunately, there are still multiple generations of people that have been brainwashed into thinking that unions are the devil, and people should stop whining, and just get a better job. Those same people don’t see how the modern job market has changed, in addition to the obvious issues with their beliefs. I remember all the propaganda when I was younger.
Those same people also tend to rail against anything that offers THEM protections, like OSHA. It’s an uphill battle.
My father ran a company that tried to unionize in the early 90s. I remember watching a scare-video that I found on VHS that was made to promote anti-union propaganda when I was a teen. I bought all of it, as a young person with no outside info. Unions bad, evil things!
Brainwashed is right.
Oh, I can’t leave without adding this, since you mentioned OSHA:
That OSHA warning is great.
It sounds like I’m about the same age as you. Yeah, it’s crazy how well it worked. I remember those VHS too. They were so awkward. It’s also crazy how many people my age STILL thinks things like unions, OSHA, workers rights, never talking to other employees about your wages, etc are bad. Like does no one look around?
raise the salaries of the lowest-paid workers on infrastructure ranging from highways and bridges to battery plants, hydrogen production facilities, and semiconductor fabs
it would be a step toward shrinking the wage gap between Northern states, which have generally higher worker protections, and the South and Southwest, where contractors are more hostile to unions and reliant on a migrant workforce.what do you want to bet the courts will be hostile to it
Some will also be paid to be hostile.
This is great to see, the Biden admin has been doing a way better job than I thought they would going into the presidency. Still a long ways off from what I’d ideally want to see but moves like this are always welcome.
They really need to work on getting that message out in a way that gets reported as click bait so it can complete with all the lies from the GOP. Being all formal and responsible gets ignored by the media and memes.
Completely agree, I don’t know why their messaging is so shit compared to the GOP. They need more Dark Brandon memes but ones that outline their policies like this lol
