Also Judges and voting rights. Romney ocassionally isn’t insanely horrible like most Republicans but he is still a MASSIVE piece of shit. He’s completely fine with nuking black peoples voting rights and giving his Republican friends indefinite control of the government.

Ah yes, coal miners and coal mine owners, two groups that have a long history of aligned interests.

Especially given that one of the provisions in BBB puts the costs of some kind of black lung support on the coal mine owners instead of the taxpayers and that’s why the union supports it.

it’s actually quite amazing that we think of WV as the coal state, but the percentage of coal miners is still vanishingly small. it’s like under 30k “jobs” total. more people work at the dmv. no wonder manchin ignores them
Coal is a state of mind. It represents the good ole days like when Americans worked in factories making plastic toys.

Joe Munchkin facts: He was bigly friends with my mom’s former boss, a dyed-in-the-wool Republican scumlord exec of a coal company. Those were always his kind of people. Silver lining: that dirtbag has been dead for years.

Get that and then see what you can get from Manchin on the rest.
Cant get 60 votes I dont think, and progressives arent gonna punt BBB to reinstate child tax credit and burn a reconciliation.
As for student loans, Id say its good news unless you are someone who still actually cares if Dems win in 2022. Id have no confidence these people arent dumb enough to sit there in like September 2022 and say “pandemic in a better place, start em back up”
I mean, fine, whatever. This would be a good strategy if it actually was a strategy instead of a reactionary knee jerk reaction to criticism (but note, criticism works).
