So..... is anyone going to talk about the Ukraine deal? Is it gonna pass?

I heard that Johnson is proposing to put 3 security related bills up separately for Ukraine, Taiwan and Israel.

i see on this forum that there are R to D flips and D to R flips in the house. how many upsets are needed for us to keep the house?

Here is why YOUR VOTE is so important!

https://www.electionreturns.pa.gov/General/CountyResults?countyName=Bucks&ElectionID=undefined&ElectionType=G&IsActive=undefined

Take a look at my state house district, 142nd Legislative District

Our Democratic candidate Mark Moffa is up by TWO votes. T W O. provisional ballots have not been counted yet. it will surely be going to a recount. This could have been mine and my wife's two votes, my neighbor's two votes. Hopefully after its all said and done he wins by a bigger margin. but at this point we just dont know.

YOUR VOTE COUNTS! especially down ballot!

Louis dejoy article in Bloomberg. Thoughts?

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2022-03-31/post-office-head-louis-dejoy-is-staying-put

All in all a good read. I think the point it makes toward the end of the article can not be ignored, that he got the postal reform act passed that got rid of that prefunding retirement requirement, and used his political ability to get republican senators on board

Calling Omicron "mild" is misleading. My uncle just passed away from it.

The news keeps calling Omicron mild. Maybe breakthrough cases are mild if you're vaccinated?

My uncle was not vaccinated. he spent a month in the hospital before passing away this morning. He leaves behind a wife and 12 year old son. Sadly, his FB page reads like every other herman cain award too. Misinformation / fake news in Vietnamese is disgusting and fatal.

I am processing alot of emotions right now. I always had good memories with him while growing up. Basically taught me how to use MS DOS and Windows 3.1 when i was 6 years old.

I'm more sad and angry for the wife and son. I dunno what I can do to help.

Is there any documentation on how universal prek will be implemented?

My kids are 2.5 years old right now and would benefit greatly from this if it gets implemented right away but I have a feeling by the time it gets implemented my kids will probably be in high school lol

How little $/hr does one have to make in order for the "gov't handouts" to make it not worth working

So an ongoing complaint on the facebook group in my neighborhood is that the trash pickup is sometimes days behind. The company recently came out and blamed the "handouts and difficulty finding good employees". I found a job listing on indeed for the company and they seem to pay their trash collectors $100/day, which ends up being a little over $10 / hr if they worked 9 hour days (they probably work more).

all other social issues aside (child care , elder care, retraining, etc) how much money does one have to make at minimum to make it worth not having to work this kind of job? how much extra is the government handing out a month during this time? i genuinely don't know and have not seen any kind of calculator online. i want to shut these assholes down for good and am tired of hearing these boomers bitch about the trash, which i agree does suck, but the trash company really just needs to start paying more.
