    Build Back Better?

    Didn’t get the votes in the Senate becuase of Manchin/Sinema. Got Inflation Reduction act (a much reduced version) instead. Perhaps in the next election if there’s enough D in the Senate that they won’t need weak D’s like Manchin and Sinema (who won’t be there anyway) there can be a Build Back Betterer.

    Student Loan Relief

    Killed by the Supreme court. See above, actual legislation (instead of just an EO) will be be difficult for even the current corrupt SCOTUS to kill. Also stacking the SC will be possible if it comes to that.

    Fuck where is Biden even supporting Unions?

    He imposed a deal that gave rail workers a 24% compounded pay increase over five years and five annual $1,000 lump-sum payments. This was done to avoid a strike that would’ve resulted in a lot of supply chain issues and a lot of other people losing their jobs. Sometimes you gotta choose the lesser of two evils.
