The Senate adjourned on Thursday until September 8 without reaching a deal on the next coronavirus relief bill, CNBC reports. The next stimulus package is now likely weeks away, leaving millions of unemployed Americans without jobless benefits that were provided from the early days of the pandemic until the end of July when the CARES Act expired without a replacement bill lined up. Democrats have argued the $600 weekly boost should continue, while Republicans say it should be reduced. Both sides have accused the other of refusing to compromise. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has said Democrats are willing to cut their proposed $3 trillion bill by $1 trillion if Republicans are willing to add $1 trillion to their $1 trillion bill. Democrats are seeking additional aid for absentee voting and remote learning. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said if lawmakers manage to make a deal while on recess, senators will return to work to vote. Read more at CNBC. The Week Staff
No rent moratorium either I think. Shits finna get fucky
As I lie down on the street (you need to pay $4 a minute to temporarily disable the bench spikes) , homeless, starving, and infected with coronavirus (which never went away even after killing half the country), I mutter to myself: "maybe this communism thing is good". A passerby overhears me. He yells out: "Yo! Hobo dude!" I look up, it is a pig dressed in a stupid fucking vest a cravat and a tophat.
He comes over to me, and, squatting, tells me: "basic economics iphone vuvuzela stalin china 100 billion trillion gazillion dead! If you hate capitalism so much, how do you explain your continued existence?"
I am defeated. It looks like electoralism is the only option after all.
The next day, I walk five miles to my nearest polling place, a dilapidated gym, to cast my vote for bernie, now 102 years old. As I approach the entrance (after climbing a crumbling staircase), I am stopped. A suburban looking woman approaches me. She asks me for my ID. I couldn't afford to renew mine, so I show her my driver's license that expired 10 years ago. She takes one look at it, tosses it to the ground, slaps me, grabs me by the jacket, and throws me down the stairs. As I struggle to pick myself off the ground, she yells at me to never show my face again.
