"Third?" As far as I know there was only a $1,200 check in the spring and a $600 check in the fall. Glad to hear that I'm not the only person in America not to have received the latter.
It's time to stop niggling about this bill. Yes, it's not as extensive as the most left-wing members of the Democratic caucus would prefer, but it's an incredible achievement anyway. And I never did understand why the Senate wasted so much time on the minimum wage yesterday when we already knew it wasn't going to be included in the Senate bill.
There were simply not enough votes for a $15 minimum wage regardless of Sinema and Manchin, nor apparently enough votes to pass a $400/week unemployment payment. Maybe they'll get a minimum wage bill through, but it won't happen as long as the filibuster continues to exist. I'm a lot more concerned about the voting rights legislation myself.
