  • Until there is a total of 60 votes one way or another, both sides can effectively veto bills forever with a filibuster in the senate. Still, in the absence of said filibuster it’s nice to be able to pass legislation through the senate.

    Good to see the needle moving from the insanity that has been the last ~9 years of politics but there is so much foundational damage that simply won’t build any bridges to bring the country back to it’s center. Maybe if we’re lucky it will lessen the extremist rhetoric especially after trump is out of the running… but i’m not holding my breath.

    It seems to me like most IT and Coding roles are completely overstaffed and plummeting in pay, where you can get them. So many layoffs from high quality high pay roles.

    Interest rates are scaring businesses enough that they are dumping highly compensated new business and project based technical engineering staff to keep that profit margin-a-growin’ despite stalling top line growth - but the entry level grunt work jobs to keep the status quo simply aren’t going away. Amazon will always need delivery drivers and warehouse workers. Businesses typically need customer service roles locally in some capacity, especially for retail stores. All these jobs pay around minimum wage or barely over, far from the living wage required to raise a family. I’d bet that’s where the overwhelming majority of growth is, especially as we defund education in the south and midwest.
