AP FACT CHECK: Blue high-tax states fund red low-tax states
Republican leaders have spent months promoting the myth that red low-tax states are subsidizing blue high-tax states because of the deduction for state and local taxes.

An Associated Press Fact Check finds it's actually the other way around. High-tax, traditionally Democratic states (blue), subsidize low-tax, traditionally Republican states (red) — in a big way.

Too bad. I agree with them being able to use this sort of thing to get more pay, better benefits, whether you do or not. This shows those who don't understand the importance of bus drivers and other such workers how important they really are, forcing them to open their eyes to this.
We are back to normal here and they are likely getting raises.

No we won't. We prepare ahead. And you are living in the past if you think credit or debit cards will be outdone by cash. That ship has sailed. Barter is more likely to come back to the norm than that.

The bus drivers are being asked to work extra hours for free and are rightly not happy about that.
Would you like to work lots of extra hours for free?

Better have tens of thousands of dollars on yours to get that last banana. Especially if that NEW multi-trillion dollar bill for babysitting 3-year-olds and a month of "family" leave pay even for people not working. Welcome to Venezuela folks.

Under federal law (Fair Labor and Standards Act), that would be illegal. Bus Drivers are classified as "non exempt" employees which means the FLSA applies. The school district is required to pay regular hourly rate for all hours worked under 40 hours per week and 1.5 times the normal hourly rate for any hours over 40.
Now some school districts "auto pay" some hourly employees, meaning they are assumed to have worked the stated hours even if they haven't. However if the hours actually worked exceeds the number of hours they are paid under normal operations, then the school district MUST pay them for those additional hours. Bus Drivers are not exempt employees.
If the bus drivers are being required to work for hours they are not paid, then that would be a class action lawsuit against the division.
Now to put in context. In the division where I work the average Bus Driver hourly rate is $20.00 (really $19.90, but I rounded) and their scheduled hours is 6 hours per day for 180 days totaling 1080 per year. At $20 per hour that's $21,600 per year.
So while most people not familiar with school divisions will think that $20 an hour is good pay, because of the limited hours and work "season", the annual rate isn't that grate.

Tell that to someone as he fills his tank at $100.00 on his way to the grocery store where a week's worth of groceries now costs $300.00 for a family of three.
Welkom to the new Amerika comrades. Brandon's new world. Enjoy!

Get a smaller vehicle. Work from home. Learn to budget grocery shopping better.
You are still using hyperbole. And ignoring the actual reasons for these things happening, which would have happened under any President, including Trump.

Don't order greasy food if you don't like it or the cost. Get something else. Eat at home.
President Biden is my guy. I don't have any guys named Brandon. And you still haven't shown evidence that this was because of President Biden being in office.

Only in a liberals mind would it make sense to create programs for citizens to access and then moan and complain that those programs weren't really intended for everyone as they wail that the wrong people were benefiting from them.well seeing you people on the right believe everything Fox news puts out here

Post all the examples you wish - it makes liberals look rather stupid and hypocritical - aka - reveal them for what they are.
If the programs are for everyone then liberals need to shut up about who utilizes them. Bottom line is liberals are all pissy about it because that money is to buy votes and they just can't stand it when it doesn't.

Not even close to comparable to this. If you individually stop doing your job, someone else will do it for you. Just as if I stop doing me job, they will find someone else to do it. And while I'm a contractor, the main organization I work for has one of the biggest unions in the country. And it is federal.

We are talking about a group of employees going on strike. Not individuals acting as individuals.
