Have the Republicans filed lawsuits on this to stop the government from helping people yet? Because that is what Republicans do.
Stop voting for Republicans. They don't want government helping us. They want government to fail.
Yup, and as we've seen recently with student loan forgiveness, is that standing doesn't mean anything anymore. It's completely unnecessary.
And now the fucking Cato Institute is suing to stop Biden's aggressively reasonable income-based repayment plans. The fuck???
Unfortunately, there are still multiple generations of people that have been brainwashed into thinking that unions are the devil, and people should stop whining, and just get a better job. Those same people don't see how the modern job market has changed, in addition to the obvious issues with their beliefs. I remember all the propaganda when I was younger.
Those same people also tend to rail against anything that offers THEM protections, like OSHA. It's an uphill battle.
