I say we means test the Manchins by locking them in a room with every parent that lost their child because they couldn’t afford epinephrine, and let them know that everyone in that room has a pardon for what ever may or may not happen in the room.

This is why every public aid program is like “we’ll pay $30 on your student loans if you owned a boat between 1997 and 2010 and if you live at least 3 miles away from a railroad and if you have any immediate family born with extra fingers”

There are literally studies showing what families have spent the money on. It was mostly food and clothing.

you could also just look outside of the us and see that maybe a country of similar size and population like brazil, has done these programs for years and people used this money to buy appliances and food, and that the benefits of that program are so obvious that even right wing politicians would promise to no touch it, maybe look at the healthcare system too, it would be kinda humiliating even if a country that has a fraction of the american economy had a single payer system that no joke YOU could use for free if you came over here and got sick

If you were a boomer you would know that study was bullshit. Stop being so naive.

“Out of deep respect for our missing colleagues, their families, and their constituents, we will not be passing major legislation until their seats have been filled.”

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
