August 1, 20232 yr Just now, Boogyman said: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/27/us/politics/trump-pandemic-loan-yrc.html "WASHINGTON — Democratic lawmakers on Wednesday released a report alleging that top Trump administration officials had awarded a $700 million pandemic relief loan to a struggling trucking company in 2020 over the objections of career officials at the Defense Department. The report, released by the Democratic staff of the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis, describes the role of corporate lobbyists during the early months of the pandemic in helping to secure government funds as trillions of dollars of relief money were being pumped into the economy. It also suggests that senior officials such as Steven Mnuchin, the former Treasury secretary, and Mark T. Esper, the former defense secretary, intervened to ensure that the trucking company, Yellow Corporation, received special treatment despite concerns about its eligibility to receive relief funds."

Yeah the relief went to all kinds of industries that had no business getting relief. One of the ones I can think of off the top of my head was the Christmas tree industry getting relief. Even though Christmas tree sales were up during Covid. As it turns out Big Christmas Tree has a lobbying arm.

August 28, 20232 yr WSJ: Blue-Collar vs. White-Collar Pay: Why a Decades Long Trend Is Flipping Wages are outpacing inflation, driven largely by pay gains for low-income workers. Those gains have helped close the gap between blue- and white-collar workers. WSJ explains what’s driving the higher wages, and whether they will stick around. __________ TLDR: blue collar workers are seeing wage growth that's outpacing inflation, whole white collar workers are not. I'm sure Biden will get all the praise that Trumplicans would be lavishing in Trump for this.
