Bill was submitted by a Republican, in a Republican controlled state Congress, and signed by a Republican governor. How is this a progressive issue?

More importantly, pay teachers what they’re worth and they won’t have to resort to things like OnlyFans to make up the difference.

I feel like Twitter (I will always deadname it) was the beginning of the end for him. Unfortunately, things like this can take years or decades to resolve, but whereas 5 years ago he had the midas touch and could do no wrong now there seems to be nothing but a stream of negative news about him.

Time will tell

Just a reminder to everyone that it’s fun to hope it’s aliens, but Occam’s Razor suggests it isn’t and the real answer is likely something naturally occurring.

From personal experience, refunds aren’t off the table. My wife has been a nurse for over 10 years. She just got a refund check from the Treasury stating that she over paid on her student loans. It wasn’t an insignificant amount.

Same way “Joe the Plumber”, Kim Davis, Kyle Rittenhouse, etc. GOP elevates their story to the national spotlight to “prove their point” and then leaves them out to dry after their 15 minutes of fame have been used up.

That’s the point though, right? It’s all publicity. They don’t want to give it to someone who may actually use it. Give it to the billionaire who will never use it so.

Read up on Reagan and anti-trust. He essentially said that monopolies that resulted in lower prices were good for consumers and that the government would turn a blind eye to them. Hasn’t been much change since then.
