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
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!
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.
moment or will you find a way to kill this for me?
