No, no.
Trump got the discounts and so the discounts are evil.
Makes perfect sense.

'Take this job and shove it': American workers quit at record levels
More Americans than ever are quitting their jobs, making it even harder for companies to fill a record number of job openings.

Gee, I wonder why people don't want to work for jobs that don't pay enough to let them buy shelter, food, and clothing.

Well, and the government is paying people not to work at the moment.
That's the problem where I'm at. Why have to deal with a job when you could just not have a job for a few less dollars an hour.

I was layed off last year and I made more money sitting down at home on my rear than at my 14.00 dollar an hour job. The only reason I am back at work now, is because I consider social welfare to be necessary, yet last resort for those down on their luck, it would be criminal for me to be helping run up the national debt when others needed help.
But one of the upsides of this manpower shortage is alot of people getting pay raises, my current workplace was always running short of employees even before Covid and now all second shift employees like myself are getting two/four dollar raises per hour across the board.
Rep. Boebert Takes VP Harris To Visit The Southern Border - The Lid
Rep. Lauren Boebert took VP Kamala Harris to our Southern border with Mexico. Well...sort of, in a trolling sort of way

I'm glad I voted for her.

Unfortunately, that is absolutely not a upside.
If this was a normal economy with normal economic pressure I'd be all for it. No problem.
But this is a artificial worker shortage funded by taxpayers, that causes businesses to fail or force their pay rates up to unreasonable levels to match the artificial worker shortage, which leaves fewer businesses with worse service and higher prices that again the taxpayers have to deal with.
It is costing us trillions of dollars of economic activity and destroying small businesses due to a artificial government funded labor shortage.
It's going to take decades for some places to fully recover and normalize their economic demands if they even can.
Yeah.
In normal economic times, like pre-covid Trump admin, wages go up because unemployment is low and companies need to compete with one another for labor. This drives up wages, keeps the nation employed, and is a good thing.
Now? Now companies are raising wages to compete with the fucking government funded welfare programs. It's not because everyone is employed, but because they're making more to not be employed. The labor shortage is being created by bad policy. This is not good.
The wages were rising naturally before. This kind of shit will just kill off more small businesses.
That's the point
As somebody in Poland said about commie economy - it is not mistake,it is result they wonted.Becouse both Big business nad ruling leftist want small businees dead.
The White House's Environmental Justice Advisory Council has expressed opposition to nuclear and carbon capture projects.
Also news, there's something stupid called the Environmental Justice Advisory Council which is apparently a new volunteer Council established by the Biden Administration and staffed by Sociologists, Union Activists and Black Race Identitarians.

But yes, shockingly they don't support carbon capture because that would "boost the fossil fuels" industry and nuclear power because of scary nuclear waste because as we all know, Solar Panels create absolutely no waste.

Ah I love the smell of missile spam in the morning
Ah yes Nuclear waste ie something that due to Carter being a idiot we can't recycle back into useable fuel.
Can you expand on that? I'm honestly curious since Nuclear Waste is a big negative when it comes to Nuclear Power.
Yep.
Reprocessing nuclear waste, or just burning it in molten-salt reactors, would handily solve most issues with nuclear power.
But it would hurt big oil's bottom line, and hurt the rad-green wind/solar lobby.
As well, people are more scared of living by a potential Chernobyl/Three Mile Island than they are of a refinery or oil well.
Cancelling carbon capture stuff is also a blatantly partisan move to satisfy the rad-greens; carbon capture would definitely help reduce CO2 emission, particularly if place near or at major emissions sources. Of course methane release is the bigger issue for trapping heat in atmo, but that is part of how they are justifying going after ranchers and farmers.
IIRC, Carter outlawed nuclear waste reprocessing for civie energy purposes, which means spend fuel has to be stored, rather than burned in molten-salt/thorium reactors which can extract a lot more energy out of it.
Part of it was that spent waste does have weapons core potential still, or at least is able to be refined into it, and that spent fuel can help maintain our nuclear weapons stockpile. During the height of the Cold War this made a decent amount of sense.
But now, realistically, our rate of needing to refurbish weapons cores is not so great that it justifies the reprocessing ban anymore, and the ban is mostly a holdover that benefits the oil industry and the rad-greens at the same time.

Here's a brief overview of Nuclear Recycling.
When using the radioactive materials in Nuclear power, you have several options for the leftover material. The US currently just stores it as waste. But since it's still radioactive, it logically stands to reason that there is still usable material in there.
So you have several options. The first is to have a facility to separate the still usable material and run it through again. The second is to use what is termed a 'breeder' reactor to take the waste and to use the nuclear reactions to make more usable nuclear material. You'll end up with a 'waste' that is still higher in usable material that can be used for normal nuclear power plants.
Edit: Molten salt reactors are great too!
Reminds me of that Omar Khadr case.
He could have surrendered, he could have run away. But no, they literally had to capture him.
And the claims that he didn't throw the grenade are BS.
Ended up getting $10 million CAD from Justin "Corrupt Blackface" Trudeau.
Sometimes, I wonder if 1984 has already become true and most of us just haven't noticed that we've become the Proles.
