    Who said I was only talking about the environmental aspects? Also, you’re acting like I wrote the fucking legislation, I didn’t even say if I support it or not.

    Prevailing wage is an entirely different thing, and sure I guess you can choose to ignore it, but it’s not a bad thing.

      Build Back Better is the single largest investment in green infrastructure by any nation anywhere.

      I want more, but I don’t know that a more progressive president could have done better in this environment.

      (emphasis mine), Is the comment I was replying to- talking when I was speaking about the environmental aspects of the legislative agenda. Both my comment and the original comment were both in the context of green infrastructure.

      are you saying I’m being unreasonable for assuming you were responding to me about my comment in kind? It’s fine if you want to talk about your pay raise. (I presume.) But like… that’s not what this conversation is about… so you’re changing the subject.

      Biden’s record on the environment is bad. You getting better pay for a few jobs doesn’t really change that record. The fact is climate change is an existential threat to humanity on a global scale, and Biden has done fuck-all to deal with it before it gets worse. On balance, he’s made the situation worse; and has increased the inertia in fighting oil and transitioning to a carbon-neutral economy, which we kind of have to do in the next year or two before things get even more fucked than they already are.

      Also, you’re acting like I wrote the fucking legislation, I didn’t even say if I support it or not.

      If you don’t support at least the parts you keep wanting to distract us with… why the fuck do you keep defending it? Actually, right now I’m assuming you’re just a troll.
