An expansion of the Child Tax Credit that focuses on the 19 million children who are shut out of the full credit because their families’ incomes are too low would come at a modest cost. For example, making the current law $2,000 credit fully available to these children would cost roughly $12 billion per year in 2022, according to the Joint Tax Committee estimates.

Seeing as this is coming from the CEO, I do not trust this to be true, or is overstating it to make the public think the drivers are "greedy" or "overpaid". They also want to blame a bad year of revenue on this, which is bullshit.

Looking at the average hourly listed for full timers @ $49 (which is great tbh) works out to about $101K before tax. I'm not sure what kind of benefits they are getting, but $70k in benefits is suspect.

Also, the part timers are still starting at $21, which extrapolated to full time hours is $43k. Not sure if they get benefits.

The quote is saying that "drivers" will average $170k, but that doesn't specify whether that is including full and part time. I'd also like to see what the ratio of part:full time is, because I can only assume it skews towards the former.

I'm happy to see the teamsters got a good deal, but lets not trust the numbers the CEO is spitting out...

sorry but democracy is clearly when private capital writes legislation and senators who were paid by them pass it

for such an effective bait thread lmao

I didn't know there was a video of tank man until like two years ago. It was always shown as an image with the implication he was then killed

Removing downvotes has been a blessing in several ways.

It also helps that like 20 people jump in with and shit, so downvoting it all is annoying and time consuming for anyone who wants to.
