@CBCNews@RosieBarton Re: the question about min wage workers and concern that they will opt to collect the fund rather than continue to work. 1. What are you suggesting? 2. This is not the time. Maybe the question (later) should be why people are still working for the equivalent of an emergency fund.
Food workers.
Grocery clerks.
Cashiers.
Delivery drivers.
Warehouse stockers.
They were never โunskilled workers.โ
They were always essential.
And itโs WAY past time they got the respect they deserve w/ a living wage, paid sick leave, guaranteed healthcare, hazard pay, & more.
@ctvottawa So assistance is not available to people eligible for E.I. But what about part-time workers? They may be eligible for E.I. but 55% of part-time wage may not be enough to cover living expenses. Any word on this situation? Basic living allowance?
WOW. Rep. Porter just read the testing costs to CDC Director Redfield, who did not know them, and got him to commit to using his authority under existing law to make #Covid_19 testing free for every American.
This is real leadership. cc:@realDonaldTrump
Remind me again why investing pubic $ in public transit, bike infrastructure, tree planting, better home insulation, etc., is bad? The alternative is a $5.3 billion bill that will keep going up & up every year if we don't tackle #ClimateChange
This is a pretty damning indictment of how oil companies knew 40 years ago about how their actions would affect the climate. But instead of positive change, Exxon in this case spent millions $$ funding denial campaigns & spreading misinformation #ClimateAction#ClimateEmergency
