President Biden vowed Tuesday to rebuild Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge after it collapsed into the water when a cargo ship rammed into it, echoing what some Maryland officials said earlier but adding that he expects the federal government to foot the bill.
“It’s my intention that the federal government will pay for the entire cost of reconstructing that bridge, and I expect the Congress to support my effort,” Biden said in remarks at the White House. “This is going to take some time, but the people of Baltimore can count on us though to stick with them at every step of the way until the port is reopen and the bridge is rebuilt.”
He said he spoke with Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) on Tuesday morning, as well as Maryland officials including its congressional delegation and two U.S. senators. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg traveled to the Baltimore site.
Oh shit – yeah, you’re 100% right on homelessness, I hadn’t seen that. Mostly I look at sources that haven’t been updated for 2023 yet. But yeah that’s 100% accurate, I edited my comment.
So your railroad story is from December 2022 – i.e. right after the strike broke, but before there had been time for the labor department to secure sick days for the workers, including at the exact union that guy’s a member of.
Here’s another story about it.
Here’s another from early on, and then here’s the update from June when 60% of workers had their sick leave.
Is that enough? Not really. I agree with Tormey’s anger about how he’s being treated, especially in December 2022 when the wounds would still have been fresh, and I’m sure on the whole balance he’s still getting fucked. It’s a goddamned shame. My point was more that Biden had the chance to break strikes on behalf of around 450,000 striking workers in 2023, and he didn’t. Why do you think he didn’t break any of those strikes?
I’m not doing any more homework for you, when your bad faith attempts at propaganda are that lazy.
Not clicking any more of your links and shit either dude. Have a nice day.
Ah yes, the famous propagandist’s trick of saying “Oh hey you’re right, let me edit my comment to reflect the new reality I just learned about.” I see them do it all the time, it’s a hallmark.
Quitting while you’re ahead for the moment, instead of being willing to delve into any of the other issues surrounding the claims you were making, does seem pretty wise though. I’d probably do the same in your position. Have a good one.
Sorry I generally don’t read you’re replies, lol. I’m sure you can guess why.
Buh bye now.
From what I’ve seen I’m guessing it’s because you only half understand the saying “it’s better to close your mouth and be thought a fool than open it and remove all doubt”.
You’re absolutely pathetic. We’re all laughing at your bullshit.
Internet bullying? What are you 12? Grow up lmao.
Are you intentionally framing your thoughts and opinions in the most insufferable way possible? If so, why?
It’s like you could’ve made a decent point but then tried really hard to make it as disrespectfully as possible
You think I’m here to entertain you or something? If my points are good, take them. If not, fuck off.
That’s the thing, we can’t tell if they’re good or not because of your poor communication skills and shitty attitude.
It’s clearly a skill issue. lol
Me: genocide is bad
You: I can’t tell what this guy is trying to communicate. What a shitty attitude. Lol
lol- digital equivalent of sticking your fingers in your ears and saying ‘NANANANANA’ ;)
Every time I interact with them it’s a wall of text and links and it’s all fluffy propaganda bullshit.
Sorry, but I’m just not into it.
Yeah- lot of people aren’t into learning. I can see that about you.
So… You just want to insult me or do you want to talk about Biden’s record oil production or should I just report and move on?
Your pick. I’m just enjoying your clown show.
Okay then, I’m going to block you for trolling and following me through comment chains, byyyyeee.
If you don’t want an audience don’t put on a clown show ;)
What a little snowflake lmao
You already decided you don’t actually want to talk about the issues. Go take your feckless whining elsewhere.
Some call this supporting evidence and nuance. Complex issues don’t always fit into catchy little zingers and glib sound-bites, as much as Fox News would like you to believe. One should not object to the length of a given piece of text, rather one should object to the contents. If you think what he said is a pile of crap, let’s hear why.
Not if it’s all bullshit.
If it’s so plainly bullshit, you should have no trouble refuting it. Just asserting “it’s bullshit” doesn’t leave the readers any smarter.
I blocked them, I can’t even see their comments anymore. Do your own homework 👍.
So, instead of actually debating in the open, with someone that’s surprisingly showing you a tremendous amount of patience and respect- you block them for providing evidence that supports their point?
This is VERY telling.
You can just say, “I don’t have any valid points to make, sorry bye” instead of this absolutely pathetic comment. Talk about bad faith…
Wow! This is the exact same thing even says to you seemingly everyday. It’s almost plagiarism!
ROFL! You got wrecked.
