The most shortsighted will just retreat to private villas, more practical ones will aim for neofeudalism, where amazon will rent you the workspace to work in their warehouses. The really dumb want to seastead or colonize space.
They all grossly overestimate their capabilities, while underestimating the challenges and how much they need a functional society.

naw it's not even close

S.Con.Res.5 is the budget CR for the next fiscal year

as you can see here:
https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/senate-concurrent-resolution/5/amendments?searchResultViewType=expanded&q={%22senate-sponsor%22:%22Cornyn,+John+[R-TX]%22} [I cannot get this url tag working for the life of me]
Cornyn proposed 11 amendments to it

the second of those is
S.Amdt. 558 — 117th Congress (2021-2022) - Purpose: To establish a deficit-neutral fund relating to funding the police.
which did indeed pass 100-0 so I'm assuming this is what he is bragging about

which if you want the text for you have to go to
the Congressional Record of the meeting where it was proposed

but here's the full text:

quote:

SEC. 3___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO FUNDING
THE POLICE.

The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate
may revise the allocations of a committee or committees,
aggregates, and other appropriate levels in this resolution,
and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger, for one or
more bills, joint resolutions, amendments, amendments between
the Houses, motions, or conference reports relating to
funding the Nation's police through programs that are in
within the jurisdiction of any committee of the Senate
instructed under section 2002, which may include funding for
law enforcement officer safety programs and fusion centers to
protect the United States from domestic and international
terrorists administered by the Department of Homeland
Security, mental and behavioral health intervention programs
administered by the Department of Health and Human Services,
programs administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs
to increase the hiring of military veterans as law
enforcement officers, gang and youth violence education
programs administered by the Department of Health and Human
Services, and the Department of Education, by the amounts
provided in such legislation for those purposes, provided
that such legislation would not increase the deficit over
either the period of the total of fiscal years 2021 through
2025 or the period of the total of fiscal years 2021 through
2030.
the authority is vested in the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate, aka Sen. Bernard Sanders (I-VT)

...so broadly, it's DOA if Bernie doesn't do anything, and if he does, well, let's hope it's mental and behavioral health intervention programs or gang and youth violence education programs and not the other poo poo.

1,400 is a first and last month’s rent still in a few parts of this country, at least until remote working midwesterners find all these places and inflate the economy past what the people who have to work there can afford.

Not to say this is a sufficient amount of aid in any sense.

It is getting close but sub 700 rent for a 1 bedroom is still a thing in parts of the south and southwest. Usually the thing that goes with that is sub $8.00 minimum wage though.

A family walks into a talent agent's office and he says okay, so show me your act, and the family starts doing utterly depraved poo poo, just loving and making GBS threads everywhere, destroying things, rending their garments and flaying their flesh, for like a full five hours. At one point they tear a $100 bill in half, eat it, poo poo it out on the desk, then rub the talent agent's nose in it. At the end he says, wow, great stuff. What do you call your act?
