Markey, Ocasio-Cortez ask Biden to create Civilian Climate Corps by executive order
The Hill ^ | 09/18/2023 | ZACK BUDRYK

Posted on 09/18/2023 1:11:24 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), two of Congress’ most vocal proponents for aggressive climate action, on Monday called for President Biden to establish a Civilian Climate Corps.

The CCC had been a key element in early versions of the Build Back Better Act, the sweeping environmental and infrastructure bill. It was not ultimately included in the slimmed down Inflation Reduction Act, which was nonetheless the largest climate bill in U.S. history.

Biden was a vocal backer of the Climate Corps early in his presidency, comparing it to the Civilian Conservation Corps introduced during the presidency of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The original legislation called for $10 billion to launch the new program.

And here in CA, the communists in state government are looking to charge for electricity NOT by the kilowatt, but according to one’s income. The more financially successful you’ve been, the more you will pay. This has cleared legislative hurdles already.

20 April 2021: Sunrise Movement: The Civilian Climate Corps (CCC), Explained
by Ellen Sciales
The Civilian Climate Corps would give good jobs to the millions of people who are out of work or underemployed and suffering from the effects of a global pandemic and severe economic recession, and work in partnership with unions and employers to give them a pathway to stable, meaningful careers for the long haul. Our country is facing so many crises, historic joblessness and economic inequality, gun violence, frequent murders of Black and brown people by the police, state repression of protestors and a climate crisis that looms over it all. With so much work to do, there’s no reason anyone who wants a job in the richest country in the world should be unemployed, underemployed, or working a job without a living wage, benefits, or the right to join a union.

We need millions of people doing the good work of addressing these crises, and we need to force the federal government to put proposals like the CCC into law at the necessary scale.

I use a gas lawnmower on ozone action days, turn on all my light on national lights out night and steadfastly refuse to recycle.

Come and get me Sandy

Likewise-gates out here are to be touched at your own risk-but by all means bring AOC out here in maybe mid-November right at dusk, and let her EV battery die-cell reception is iffy, the sheriff is 30+ minutes away, never mind a towtruck-the coyotes will be out wandering that close to dark, too...

The Civilian Climate Corps ...

So much myopic SJW rambling there... it's honestly not worth addressing line by line... but the underlying creepiness coupled with oblivious lock-step is somewhat troubling
