They should just raise it to 15 bucks everywhere but WV and just make it 11 there like Manchin wants. I'm sure his voters will love that.

Impoverish the public to punish the corruption of the Democrat party.

If you had a big drop off in income from 2019 to 2020 and you file your 2020 taxes before the bill passes in a few weeks you will get the 1400 apparently.

I get to file for the tax credit for the $1800 I didn't receive and now this :pram:

trump is the only reason there is even a debate about $2000 because he said $600 was too little and them talking about $1400+$600 grounds it specifically as a trump policy

there was a nyt article saying biden specifically negotiated the checks down to $600
I continue to lol about the fact that it was Trump's idea to get everyone $2k

Navalny is a figure that looks towards the West for aid, and western governments think they can work with him. He's probably not on anyone's payroll, but he's willing to reopen Russia to exploitation by Western capital. Putin is a capitalist too, but he's tried his best to make sure it's Russians getting rich by exploiting labor and resources in Russia. Lots of the economic hardships regular Russians are facing have their roots in Western sanctions as well, which is often left out of the story by Western media.

The Communist Party in Russia led mass protests against pension cuts in the country a few years ago and the only English language media to report on it was ,ironically, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.

Thats more or less what my understanding of the situation was.

My understanding about the Russian Communist Party is that they're little more than controlled opposition these days, which is probably why Radio Free Europe reported on them at all.

The most interesting person in Russian politics today to me is Sergei Furgal. He's a member of Zhirinovsky's party, but doesn't appear to be one of Zhirinovsky's guys, if that makes any sense. When he was in the State Duma, he was pushing for universal health care, or something similar. He later became governor of the Kharbovsk region and implemented a number of populist policies (for example forcing airlines to reduce ticket prices, which is really important for people living in the far east). He was recently arrested prior to the constitutional referrendum.

Whats most interesting to me about him is that he does not appear to be connected to Navalny or any of the other standard opposition groups within Russia, and he doesn't get any press in the west. When he was arrested Zhirinovsky didn't put up a fight and sent one of his own people to take over, and this guy immediately started rolling back Furgal's populist policies (again with the airline tickets, for example), so it doesn't look like he's connected to the central government either. Finally, when he was arrested there were MASSIVE, spontaneous protests in his favor. These were not organized by Navalny or boosted in western media, so it looks like they're an indication of genuine popularity.

I may be missing something obvious, but as far as Russian politicians to have any sort of hope in (at least as far as improving the domestic situation), he's it.

the entire point of 600+1400 is that it pushes the narrative that the 600 was given by congress, and by extension the democrats, not tremp. never tremp. tremp never helped you it was all us, the Good Ones

which is still hilarious because they have the memory of a toadstool and completely forgot the 1.2k tremp also gave folks
