I am thinking now how one excuse you hear from GOP in Congress that they think handouts discourage work. And they are thinking crazy along the lines of Protestant Work Ethic that idle hands are the devil's workshop and because people have had money to get by on so far, they are out on the streets causing havoc, that if you give them more money to live on, the street action will get worse.

They have waited more than two months to even start the legislative process on COVID relief. No hearings, no votes. Leader Mcconnell specifically said they felt no sense of urgency last month. And then they took an extra week to negotiate with themselves. They are botching this.

this is an important article, mho if people are rationing WaPo. chits, they should spend one on this one.

Not the least of which because

Trump’s big Middle Suburb margins were a surprise, because they are generally swing territory that Barack Obama won in 2008 and narrowly lost in 2012.

These are the people that national parties need to win national offices or even just support for policies once elected.

Check out the link this article is based on. The so called shitty cities have the second lowest number of deaths of despair. While the real Americans living in real American has almost the highest.
