In the mega thread - I posted this (prescient?) tweet an hour ago...

By Wednesday it’ll be two weeks and the baby will have to prove it’s looking for work.

“It is down to 4 weeks,” Biden says on CNN of his paid family and medical leave proposal.

    My hunch is that the BBB bill will be ~$1.25T and on to of that paltry sum it will be filled with shit like means testing for people and free handouts to energy corporations for their "green" initiatives. In a week or two the consensus at r/politics will "Yeah - the bill wasn't great. But half a loaf is better than nothing. Nobody likes Manchin and Sinema but there's a solution. If need to vote more democrats into office..."

    And - of course - next year is an election year so by around March - the r/politics, etc will be entirely back to viewing politics like sports. They'll be back to vuvuzela-ing "Vote blue no matter who!"
