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.

no no, all the crappy temporary half measures that expire in a year are going to be made permanent in another bill you see.
this is why it's ok there's a bunch of permanent reactionary poo poo in the bill

The gaslighting going on about this bill is hilariously blatant.

It's so over the top I wonder if people will accept this as the savior of the country of if it will lead to some sort of confusion when it doesn't fix much.

I kinda want to start saying that it's good Biden did what Obama was sadly too ineffectual to do with a larger Senate majority to see if any wires get crossed though.

It's pretty funny that Manchin goes on the news shows and brags about how there are "republican ideas" in the bill when not 1 of them had to vote for it to get their ideas in it. I'm not sure who the audience for that is or is Manchin's brain just rotten.

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.”

manchin just demonstrated to anyone paying attention that he is essentially the most powerful person in the country right now. he can kill/remove/add any legislation he wants to any bill the dems can pass and there is nothing they can do to stop him. republicans also need him to support whatever ideas they want to add/remove. they can use him to change bills as they want but still don't have to vote for it.

dems have to "negotiate" with both manchin and republicans but republicans only have to negotiate with manchin. all legislation is at his whim for the next 2 years. the media stuff is just the victory lap.

so im guessing the dems will herald this tiny bandaid of a bill as a amazing win, and do nothing when the can comes kicking back again in a few months when the paltry ui runs out. looking forward to the millions of pending evictions some of which are happening in chud states anyway. and people having to pay back a year of rent back.

its pretty neat that they did nothing for 3 months except whittle down the bill to being poo poo and using the excuse of working across the aisle all for every republican to vote no.

I don't believe this btw. Biden didn't lift a finger for the 15 dollar wage, that is why it's out of the bill. I still don't believe that Manchin or any of the other 8 scumfucks who voted against the stand alone bill would have killed the whole bill just to vote against the 15 dollar wage.

there was that story a couple days back about how manchin has financial stakes in multiple WV businesses that pay $11 per hour

you might think that such an ethical violation could be useful as leverage, viz. letting him off the hook in exchange for his vote, but that is the thought of a foolish child

I would bet that more senators have stakes in businesses that pay less than 15 bucks an hour than don't lol. They are all rich. No one forced Manchin to choose between killing the bill and the 15 dollar wage. Biden could have done it and 6 progressives in the house could STILL do it.
