State Sen. McBride begins renewed push for paid leave in Delaware
McBride says she’s confident the measure will pass next year, despite not having the support of the state’s largest business groups like the Delaware State Chamber of Commerce. She said she’s working to address their concerns. Based on those discussions, she plans to file a substitute to the paid leave measure she introduced in May.
“But I also want to be clear that in this conversation there isn’t one stakeholder group that gets to have the only say in what this policy looks like,” she said, adding that she plans to take into account feedback from workers, health care providers and small business owners “who don’t necessarily agree with the concerns raised by certain business interests.”
The state chamber is “worried” about the impact. GOP Senators are afraid some black person will cheat and get a little money they don’t deserve.
Afraid.
Worried,
Very on brand.
For all the MAGATS talk about masculinity, white conservative guys sure are scared. Everything is self-defense for these chickenshit, because they move through a terrifying world with pants constantly wet with piss. They are so scared of being murdered that they have to grab a gun and chase after unarmed joggers just in case the unarmed jogger decides to kill them.
Is Trump in jail yet? No? That’s odd.

Boris Johnson is a dick. I like that he lost his place during a speech, started to shuffle through his notes for a loooooong time then started rambling crazily about a Peppa Pig theme park. All good. You know what would be better though? A labor majority.
Will and Grace was a good sitcom. A joke from the show has stayed with me for a long time now. Karen is wondering where to go on vacation, so she asks her housekeeper, Rosario, what she does on her time off. Rosario deadpans, “Celebrate Christmas.”
Anyway, Target is allowing its workforce to have Thanksgiving off.
NEW YORK (AP) — Target will no longer open its stores on Thanksgiving Day, making permanent a shift to the unofficial start of the holiday season that was suspended during the pandemic.
To limit crowds in stores, retailers last year were forced to turn what had become a weekend shopping blitz into an extended event, with big holiday discounts beginning as early as October.
