Edit: the Senate doesn't actually have to rework the bill into something moderate. They could just time it so its most harmful effects are *delayed* past the midterms, to protect the moderates.

The MacArthur Amendment already does that. The availability of a state waiver for essential benefits only starts after 2020. And states can allow insurers to charge higher premiums for pre-existing conditions starting in 2019, I believe.

The CBO report couldn't even be applicable to this shitty bill because you'd have no idea which states would opt-in and opt-out. This also makes factoring in Tax Reform impossible so what the hell is the point?

In general, people aren't going to care that the CBO report is outdated. That's what they were told was going to happen, so that's what's going to happen to them.

CBO score will estimate those things I believe. And they would have best case scenario estimate, worst case scenario estimate.

Looks more and more likely that the bill will pass tomorrow though.

I think the situation is still a win-win for Dems if they use it properly.

Grassley should come out and call all this fake news if he's going to bring up buzzfeed being sued like that matters.

Instead of talking solely incidental collection and unmasking to avoid the actual investigation, we're adding Hillary and "shouldn't you be focusing on terrorism?"

From a distance you'd think they were a really big fan of Deadman lol

Actually, even up close I thought that was Deadman until I read the caption. Thought it was some odd 80s versions of him or something.

The measure, backed by Republicans, would let employers give workers paid time off instead of time-and-a-half pay the next time they put in extra hours. The vote tally was largely along party lines, with no Democrats voting in favor of the bill. Six Republicans also voted against it.
G.O.P. leadership has touted the legislation, called the Working Families Flexibility Act, as an attempt to codify flexibility for employees.

But Democrats stand in strong opposition. Their chief concern is that employers have the final say on when comp time can be used, which means bosses can defer compensating employees for overtime work.

Fucking evil. So you change overtime laws but don't workers the control they need on when to take it.

They were basically yeses I believe. I wouldn't be surprised if the whole thing wasn't manufactured so they could act like they were fighting for something and Trump could be seen as an influencer.

Still need a few more lol

Also I think this is actually missing a few nos.

At this point, changing those moderate nos will likely cause some of the tea partiers to shift back to no.

The whole amount of amendment money basically screams "We helped! Sure, we didn't put anywhere near enough in...but we still care!"

I see some people saying it's fine because if the year expires or your quit it gets paid out, but I think those posters are missing the point.

Imagine doing an 80 hour week for work, and then never given the permission to actually use those hours throughout the year. That's an entire year you have to wait for you to be paid for working so much OT, and some people end up relying on that fatter paycheck to help keep afloat.

Workaholic culture is so toxic, not to mention how workers are conditioned to feel bad for taking time off!

Or the fact that the positive (creation of flexible time) is a lie as the free hours created by doing overtime are not in your control thus being another way for employers to fuck with you.

A villain who runs on cocaine and another that infects people with HIV? Really gives you a window into those times.

Are those superheroes on AZT?
