Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

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.
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
400 people per state (on average) lmao
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.
its AMERICORPS? L O L
