China Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 On 2/26/2021 at 12:45 AM, China said: DOJ files appeal of Trump-appointed judge's ruling on CDC eviction moratorium The Department of Justice has filed an appeal of a federal judge's decision this week that declared the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention eviction moratorium unconstitutional. Judge John Barker, a Trump appointee in the Eastern District of Texas, stopped short of issuing a preliminary injunction but said he expected the CDC to respect his ruling and withdraw the moratorium. But Saturday night, the Justice Department filed an appeal in the case. Click on the link for the full article 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fergasun Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Joe Manchin wanting to make changes... I don't get it. What was the Nebraska thing called... Cornhusker kickback? Is Manchin going to deliver a West Virginia screwjob to change popular legislation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 GOP is really upset with how popular this Recovery Bill is. They keep posting the game shared graphics from some intern with a Canva account without any details. Maybe the bill being much more popular than they are is a ego check. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreatBuzz Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 The progressives are really pissing me off with this minimum wage thing. A good argument can be made for it needing to be raised. But that isn’t a COVID relief issue. That is a regular business of governing issue. Deal with it in that realm. But don’t try to get your pet issue through the back door of another bill. I haven’t seen anything saying Manchin is looking for some kickback. He thinks it is too big and wants to trim some areas back. At least his bit is tied to the issue the bill is covering.

I think most everyone would prefer that to happen but you have one party that isn't interested in governing and they sure aren't going to raise the minimum wage. This is a multi-year phase in. The GQP doesn't stand for anything anymore so there is no working with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 The thing about the min wage deal is that it’s functionally useless as a national policy. $15 an hour ain’t crap in NYC and yet simultaneously $15 an hour is a considerable burden for a small business owner in BFE, Montana. It’s not a “one size fits all” proposition. BUT...it’s a good bit of populist sloganeering and $7.25 or whatever it’s been for 20 years is pathetic. So, onward we go. Just do whatever it takes to pass the 1.9T. Eyes on the prize! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fergasun Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 @TryTheBeal! @TheGreatBuzz I agree that the COVID package isn't the correct vehicle for raising the minimum wage. I am going to self-cancel in this thread and move to another for further discussion on the min wage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got plenty of opionons regarding minimum wage but the details aren't for this thread. But in regards to the stimulus package, it should not be a part of it in my opinion. @Hersh regarding your comment here, I get that the GOP sucks but that doesn't mean this is the way to get it done. For discussion on how to get it done though, we should probably go to another thread. I think we have a minimum wage thread?? 16 minutes ago, just654 said: https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/nation-world/third-stimulus-check-senate-debate/507-cb7a707e-2ab5-4b96-a4b5-7f4e87082738?=c&fbclid=IwAR1b7zpUxs6rdCJ3sgD9XH8DNdp5Gy5oVLr8kXsLzjjY_zZCdYlSvMnnuf0 Senate total Phase out way lower than House.

Just do whatever it takes to pass the 1.9T. Eyes on the prize! Agree with both of these. Minimum wage should be state-by-state (or even by city), not national. Or if it is national, it should not go to $15, it should go to like $10. It pisses me off that progressives are getting snippy with Biden. First, he gave it a shot, but once the parliamentarian so no-go, it was a no-go. The relief bill is still a major victory if they can get it passed. Second, a US Congressperson is a major figure in their own state, focus your efforts there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
