@RockBottom Every day I must see literally 100 or more posts about how vile Trump is

at the same time I am lucky to see one post that has concrete ideas for what to do

@PhilipTheBucket I think, not sure that your source says that Covid relief drove wage changes for low income workers

the source doesn’t far as I can tell, mention IRA or CHIPS

@PhilipTheBucket I think most of the real (inflation adjusted) wage gains for working class were due to bipartisan covid relief money

Biden did try to do a lot re Unions, etc, but not sure much happened, eg SCOTUS or Judges like R Connor issueing nationwide TROs

@PhilipTheBucket

you have not acknowledged that there is a lack of clarity in the original source: is the “letter” from the whole committe or just from the ranking member ?

surely you know enough to know that this is a big deal, right ?

right ?

@PhilipTheBucket I’m not sure I understand your post, but it doesn’t seem to reflect what I wrote

Yes, Biden and the Dems handed out enormous sums of money that, probably did or would have helped with climate change; I’ll stipulate to that

but we are talking about today; a letter from the minority party is a toothless thing, that , based on the last few months will at best be ignored and at worst be mocked by Fox

@PhilipTheBucket I emailed the PR person at the committee to get clarification on who sent the letter, the entire committee or just the dems; if the latter, the letter is a toothless paper tiger , nothing more then theater for gullible democratic voters, IMO

@PhilipTheBucket This sounds totally wrong
The guardian doesn’t say it fhe letter was sent by the minority party, the dems, or sent by the whole committee

a really really key omission

Running water and indoor plumbing was relatively common in the ancient world.

really ?
In 1920, only *** 1% of US homes** had indoor plumbing

@teft

even if this were true, it is true only if you have time rest and rejuvenate, and in particular rest after an injury

tht option often not available to people working at lower wage jobs

right ?

re the 1,000x
if you read the comments in the thread you posted, several people point out this is just ludicrouis

so I"m not quite sure what I should have said to you when you post something that is absurd
seriously, what am I to say ?

@SteveKLord
I was born in 1953 and my image of people doing labor like this , based on how we perceived people in low income countries, is of a person whose body was worn out by age 30

to a large extent progress is humans not having to do heavy manual labor
sheesh
