Cicadas: They're tripping on shrooms, losing their genitals and have a rampant STD problem. Incredible stuff.

Imagine waiting 17 years to have sex and then tripping so hard that all your genitals fall off.
Cicadas are legends Image

Something worth highlighting in this Covid-19 relief *law*: It subsidizes COBRA premiums at 100%

If you lose your job/have reduced hrs and lose your employer-sponsored health insurance, the federal government will cover your premiums fully through Sept!

huffpost.com/entry/joe-bide…
Some context: COBRA is a federal program that lets you keep the insurance plan your former job offered after you've left, as long as you pay all the costs out of pocket.

It's supposed to make sure there's no coverage lapse but that's prohibitively expensive for a lot of folks.
Now, the federal government, at least temporarily, is picking up the tab.

.@Sen_JoeManchin met with min. wage and tipped min. wage workers today advocating for a $15 min. wage

He told them he was opposed, supports $11, per the workers who spoke with him

Rev. Barber said he was "amazed" Manchin heard their stories and still opposed the policy.
These workers didn't leave the meeting with @Sen_JoeManchin with a good impression.

Brianna Griffith, from Fayette County, WV, said she felt Manchin had his "head in the cloud" when it came to poverty in his state.
A tipped wage worker, Brianna said she got $67 a week from the state when she lost her job, and lost her house. Manchin asked her about the $600 federal UI from last year.

She said that ended too soon and hasn't had government help since.

A Byrd Rule casualty: paid leave.

Democratic aides told us they can't pass a paid leave mandate through reconciliation. Republicans are against the mandate anyways.

The temporary fix: the same optional tax credits for some businesses.

“It remains deeply disappointing and utterly incomprehensible that Democrats and Republicans can’t come together around a public health policy that would prevent COVID cases, help the vaccination process and help keep people in the workforce” -@VShabo

huffpost.com/entry/senate-p…
Without requiring companies to actually give employees paid time off, extending tax credits just don’t amount to much. It’s not clear if companies would even be required to let workers know such leave is available to them.
