JoeWeber 2,941 #1 Posted July 31, 2022 369 organizations of people who have absolutely no idea how the world works implore Biden and Schumer to pull the rug from under Manchin and toss his requirements from the bill. The list of signatories is impressive. Everyone will have their favorite as it should be. I was torn. Several organization names really resonated with my inner pottery tosser: Christians For The Mountains Hair on Fire Oregon Direct Action Everywhere Animals Are Sentient Beings, Inc But in the end I just had to go with: GreenLatinos I just hope Biden is listening.

Phil1111 1,183 #2 July 31, 2022 Warren Buffet's Berkshire Hathaway fund recently made a big investment in oil. It is important to have sufficient oil to keep the economy running until green energy meets all demands. On both the right and the left there are those who refuse to compromise. Obviously W/O Manchin there would be no bill. But the side that refuses to compromise, republicans. Are going to kill it anyway. IMO this is a pre-midterms measure to define the parties for the voter. Which brings me to Kentucky. Thousand year floods again and again. In the backyard of Mitch McConnell, climate denier. Biden should have extracted something from McConnell before he offered federal relief funds. Flood victims were interviewed who stated that the single wide that they rented. Had been flooded three times recently. I guess the owners who vote for McConnell don't know you can relocate those trailers to higher grounds. But Kentucky mismanages its FEMA benefits. Just like everything else. "Most states spend most of their FEMA funding. But Arizona, Hawaii, Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Minnesota each spent less than 40% of their disaster relief allotments — the lowest utilization rate among all states."
