The potential for gridlock was never expected to disappear in a senate tied 50-50.

Uhhh yeah, I’m pretty sure the Dems could’ve pushed those checks through without any objectio if they wanted to with a tie breaking vote from VP Harris.

So this will undoubtedly be unnecessary political gridlock that delays these checks because the left wants to play nice when the right never does.

Name-calling, the perfect way to win a failing argument

So um is 1400 up in the air or we back to 2000

Cause it doesn't look like we getting anything quickly again

Relevant even more since the 600 checks are probably gone now

They couldnt do anything until the organizing resolution moved forward. Which was being filibustered.

This agreement (and make no mistake, it’s an agreement, per the language in the original article) is unnecessary from a dem standpoint.

This definitely delays the stimulus checks that the president promised would be at the very top of his agenda.

We can check back in on a weekly basis to assess the gridlock.

I recommend you read on what the organizing resolution is and why it is certainly not unnecessary. And also read what and how the filibuster works. And the nature of the current Senate's makeup.

Send me some information to read and I’ll tackle it now

Meanwhile, I’ll check in with you weekly on the unnecessary gridlock crested as a result of this agreement on the new regimes “highest priority”

You can just google it. There's tons of info available I would assume in light of the past week.

On the latter, I'm good. I'd rather not check-in on that thanks. Im sure when its done we'll both be aware.

WHERE IS THE DAMN STIMULUS BIDEN

Pathetic

why wait

apparently

In 5 years you'll have a zero hour contract job in an app lol

Prop 22 will become national quicker than $15 will hit. Guaranteed.

Ain’t it already $15 in certain states

What is prop 22? I keep seeing about this

new California legislation passed in November that allows Uber, Lyft, and similar companies to treat its drivers as independent contractors than full employees

Likely a really bad precedent for labor, CA will be the testing ground for service and retail jobs to migrate to gig economy roles. CA grocery chain vons pavilions recently just fired all its union drivers and they’re going to be replaced with doordash contractors.

Legislation proposals like it are now starting to pop up in other states. Kamala’s brother in law is uber’s chief legal officer who wrote the legal strategy for prop 22 and Obama’s transportation secretary is now the chief policy officer of Lyft rolling it out to the rest of the country

Pretty much says private contractors (uber,lyft,doordash drivers) dont need to be insured by their employer or given any benefits cuz theyre not real employees.

This passed cuz these corporations ran so many commercials on tv in cali with BS saying voting no on it would reduce uber lyft and delivery jobs.

It turned gig drivers into "independent contractors" instead of "employees". It's just a semantic trick that strips the workers of stuff like benefits and minimum wage and the weekend and 8 hour workdays and all kinds of regulatory measures.

The WWE and UFC also enlist their talent as "independent contractors". It's a terrible deal that just lets people be legally exploited. Watch Ken Loach's Sorry We Missed You if you want a fictional account of this. It's a scary reality coming for everybody.

Oh yeah I've seen what it does to WWE employees who have to book their own flights and s***.

Can't believe Cali did this with how much it praises being progressive lol.

tell me about the prison this like i’m a 25 year old with an infantile brain

Democrats haven't been a labor based party since the 70s. They don't even really pretend to be. They don't have to be. Who are you going to vote for instead? Republicans?

Also, Kamala Harris' brother in law led Uber's push for Prop 22.
