Biden's climate law has led to 86,000 new jobs and $132 billion in investment, new report says
A year after Democrats passed their sweeping $750 billion climate and health care law, it’s leading to a surge of clean energy projects and job creation, according to a recent Bank of America report.
While republicans are laser focused on drag queens and trans bathrooms.
Giving the industry something to do is good for the economy?! Weird .... /s
Remember when Republicans were angry that a oil company couldn't build a giant oil pipeline and said, "He's taking away jobs!" Totally ignoring that the pipeline would actually destroy jobs for truckers and everyone around that?
No point to the story I just wanted to share that.
I don't have a comment on the law, but the logic in the headline is just stupid.
You can make a law requiring the lawns to have grass neatly arranged and you will create millions of jobs of people going through lawns with a fine comb and billions in investment to optimize and automate it.
"Creating" jobs and investment via regulation isn't a positive in and of itself. In fact, it can be detrimental like the aforementioned example.
Meanwhile in reality, people are becoming homeless at a frightening rate, and nobody's even talking about it let alone fixing it. What good are jobs if you can't get one because you don't have a stable street address?
In 2022, there were about 582,462 homeless people living in the United States, compared to 580,466 in 2020. Within the provided time period, the highest number of homeless people living in the United States was in 2007, at 647,258.
Multiple issues can exist at once.
What good is having housing if you don't have a job to pay rent?
Plenty of jobs don't require a stable address. It's a small ask to provide a PO box for homeless people.
