I’m sure Chris Coons could find some middle-ground here. Maybe republicans can consider poisoning only half of the well?
Republican candidate Larry Elder, who has the best chance of unseating Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom in California’s gubernatorial recall election, is already preparing to dispute the results with escalating talks of “voter fraud” in the days leading up to election day.
Why is Manchin described as a “moderate” in this story?
Joe Manchin, the moderate Democrat standing in the way of Joe Biden’s signature $3.5tn spending bill, insisted again on Sunday he would not support the package, declaring the price tag too high and White House efforts to speed its passage too hasty.
“New Capitalism”
TOKYO (AP) — One of the main candidates to be Japan’s next prime minister (Former Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida) said Wednesday the country needs a new type of capitalism to address income and social gaps caused by the pandemic.
While deregulation and structural reforms have strengthened Japan’s economy and promoted growth, they also “created a gap between the rich and the poor, and those who possess and others who don’t,” Kishida said. The coronavirus pandemic has worsened the disparity, he said, noting tourism industry workers, contract workers and women are among the worst-hit.
“We have to turn around the economy in this situation, and if we just do the same thing, the gaps will only grow and there will be no positive cycle,” he said. “We will make a change.”
Great headline:
Why Has Capitalism Run Out of Steam?
It’s a book review though.
Coons believes that Democrats should meet Republicans half-way and allow that the California recall elections is “somewhat” corrupt and illegitimate.
In a perfect illustration of why Delaware’s Black community will stay downtrodden forever, woman-beating state Sen. Darius Brown has been named executive director of the Wilmington HOPE Commission.
You really can’t be surprised can you?
Not surprised in the least. Contra Elvis Costello, I used to be amused, now I’m just disgusted.
Does he get PAID for this?
Guy’s nothing but a freeloader.
Like Val Longhurst.
And Nicole Poore.
Look at the control and funding of the “Hope” Commission. I “Hope” nobody is surprised!✅👿
