Skimmed the article. Looks like the EPA is releasing $4.6 billion in climate related grants for local agencies to apply for.
This plan predicts creation of 20,000 jobs. For comparison, the CCC of the 1930s provided 3,000,000 jobs. Pathetic Joe reinventing a century-old program at less than 1% scale just in time for campaign season.
Furthermore, AmeriCorps pay is dogshit. You either need family help or welfare to survive on that wage

Libs: Biden is
FDR 2.0!Us: Biden is
FDR 0.006 beta!Just for reference, that's a rate of $230,000 per job created.
SOMEBODY is going to get rich off this, but it sure isn't the people working for Americorps poverty wages. Can't wait to see another 4.6 Billion disappear into the non-profit industrial complex and still fail to pay a single person a living wage.
He did a thing Bernie wanted! Kinda....so so..... maybe a nod......in name only.
Like that whole "Green New Deal" shrug which was not even 1/10th of what was needed to even start on meaningful timely change.
He's doing all this to kill any future advancement as it will ineffective and attacked or removed as soon as a Republican gets in. This whole can kicking :maybe-later-honey: is designed to fail.
you just had 1% of what's needed in 2023...... so we can't do more right now (8 years later). Republican inevitably wins, slash slash layoff layoff. 
it's the most important election of our lifetime and we need to "save democracy / take 
back ". Stop being spoiled brats. Too bad you don't agree. You're enabling 
if you don't vote for 
SPOILER!yeah i got excited till I read 20,000 jobs, thats nothing.
Yeah that needs to be about 1000 times what the current plan is to be sufficient
Again, this public/ private partnership garbage. FDR just created jobs to do the work that needed to get done. Modern Congress critters are all about tax credits, and giving money to Corporations to beg them to hire people. So rather than just hiring people to do Society's work, we must pay Capitalists to maybe hire someone. This is absolutely why people have lost faith in the capacity of the US Govt. They see money getting thrown around, but instead of benefiting directly, they see a small percentage get returned as indirect hiring. So no-one sees government working for them..absolute shite..
Even my super conservative ex roommate has said multiple times "why dont we do public works anymore". I feel like public works is something the vast majority of people can get behind.
This is a good idea, but there's no funding for it. It looks like Biden is directing existing agencies to pool their resources towards it?
Biden's big epic plan to fix climate change is to maybe create 20'000 minimum wage jobs that will be cleaning after the unrestricted pollution of billionaire corporations.
This took 3 years to get off the ground.
It's a joke, but doesn't stop mindless Biden simps from reading the headline and pretending it's some kind of huge deal.
The right will tell people that this is the reason why you’re poor and as soon as they regain power theyll gut it like anything else. Electoralism is a dead end
This is nothing less than the birth of an American Red Army. We are witnesses to a new age being born
Electric cars take 40% of the labor as ICS cars wonder where those workers will go
They can be retrained to make rolling stock for public transit as well as electric bicycles, right?
Bruh literally put however many people it takes to build a respectable rail network in the US to work. That would do more to save the environment.
Its funny how this article keeps repeating the phrase "the green dream is becoming the green reality", then it blatantly says biden is only doing this to strengthen his bid for the 2024 election. 3 years btw they could've introduced this moppy, sloppy, and somehow inferior version of a tested and approved plan nearing a 100 years ago. Wow voting for biden now!
China is our only hope for climate action. The US will never do anything besides perpetuate everyone's blue balls. All hope from within the US is fake. There's no hope until the imperial core is destroyed beyond saving and replaced by People's Republics.
Its more that its true but the reality is very small potatoes.
Yeah I knew instantly from the title that they did something like a 1930's public works service but gave it one percent as much money
Yep that's what they did
Are you all ready for some recommendations and for the media to celebrate the big polluters getting blasted with words-only criticism?
...many young adults, were outraged this spring after Biden approved the huge Willow oil-drilling project in Alaska. Opponents say the project and others approved by Biden put his climate legacy at risk and are a breach of his 2020 campaign promise to stop new oil drilling on federal lands.
Those concerns were put aside, for now, as environmental activists hailed the new jobs program
Were they now, were those concerns put aside. Because why? Those 20,000 minimum wage workers are all just going to suck the carbon out of the atmosphere?
Won't the next president just undo this in a month anyway?
