This is supposedly about training for jobs, but, it will end up being cult indoctrination, creating a whole bunch of new “activists” hell bent on telling Other People how to live their lives, and agitating for government to force those Other People to live the cult life
Biden is unveiling the American Climate Corps, a program with echoes of the New Deal
The White House on Wednesday unveiled a new climate jobs training program that it says could put 20,000 people to work in its first year on projects like restoring land, improving communities’ resilience to natural disasters and deploying clean energy.
The American Climate Corps is modeled after a program that put millions to work during the Great Depression. President Biden’s climate policy adviser Ali Zaidi told reporters that the program has broader goals beyond addressing the climate crisis.
Is it really wise to compare anything during this poor Biden economy to the Great Depression?
“We’re opening up pathways to good-paying careers, lifetimes of being involved in the work of making our communities more fair, more sustainable, more resilient,” Zaidi said.
The program will pay participants, and most positions will not require previous experience. The administration is also proposing new regulations aimed at making it easier for participants to enter the federal public service after the program.
Is this authorized by the duly elected Legislative Branch? No, it is not, so, he has no authority to create it, and damned sure no authority to spend money and pay people.
Democratic lawmakers including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., had pushed for more funding for the climate corps program, but that did not transpire, meaning the program is likely to be smaller in scope than early proposals.
And, like Biden, they are huge climahypocrites. They’re also giving away their power to the Executive Branch, and should remember that a Republican president can kill this program with the stroke of a pen.
There is another key difference, too. While the Conservation Corps primarily employed young, white men, the White House says that the American Climate Corps is designed to attract participants from disadvantaged communities disproportionately impacted by the changing climate.
Hmm, this is sounding more like a money giveaway to people for votes.
Because they aren’t giving away enough money to activist groups using Peace corps and Americorps? They need another redundant do-nothing jobs program?
YES. Name one thing that the government solved. just one.
Landing on the moon. WWII. Hitting that asteroid. Ended slavery. Social Security. Medicare. Voted Trump out.
Four out of seven. :-)
The government voted Trump out? Here, I thought it was the American people. J must know of some secret stuff the government did to swing the election..
Oh Jill,
You’re so ditzy. Who runs the elections, ditz?
Zaidi was born in Pakistan and moved to Edinboro, Pennsylvania with his family in 1993. He graduated from General McLane High School in 2004.[2] Zaidi completed a Bachelor of Arts degree from Harvard College and a Juris Doctor from Georgetown University Law Center. He was the editor of The Georgetown Law Journal.
Obama Administration
Beginning in February 2009, Zaidi served for eight years in a number of roles within the Obama administration
Lets see…he graduated high school at 20 years old??
Went to Harvard for at least 4 years??
Went to Law School for Three years???
So he graduated HS in 2004 and then spent 7 years in college putting him at 2011 and yet. Under Obama, he began his lifelong deep-state political career while a 1st year law schooler.
How truly amazing, given how hard these jobs are to shag for the common man.
This is why our government is full of deep state, corrupt people whose loyalties lie with a CAUSE rather than the good of the USA. I am not saying he is a spy or a bad actor. I am saying that this is highly suspect for a foreign-born child to be a close advisor to the US president.
I doubt that Biden even knows his name. I am sure the powers that control Biden’s strings put the Manchurian candidate in a position of power to ensure they continue to make billions while the rest of us can no longer afford to buy a car, house, and food.
Oh, wait…Isn’t it this guy that wants us to live in High rises, drive their cars, and be dependent upon the government…??
Face Palm. Silly me….Now I know why he is in charge and Biden is president. We have a demented, president who is not even aware of what is going on around him while the deep state continues to ruin the USA for their own profit.
That is why Trump must NEVER be president again. No matter what they have to do to ruin him and everyone around him in the process.
Obama ok’d him for his administration because they were both foreign-born and muslim.
My Dad worked for the TVA back in the depression era… He always said they did good work. Here in MI, the CCC built a lot of our State Parks, and replanted acreage that had been clear cut during the big logging era. You can still see their replanting in spots, because they planted in perfect straight lines… This sounds like a scam though.
No one, ever: Americorps does good work.
We’ve got plenty of prison labor we can use for this shit. Orange jumpsuits and they can clean roads, cut vegetation, remove garbage from beaches, etc. Fill sandbags for disaster prep, replant trees, ride stationary bikes to generate energy.
Possibilities are endless.
J-stupid, even for you. Those who run elections don’t decide who wins, the voters do. I believe I learned that in 8th grade civics class, if not earlier. Does the NFL determine who wins football games? No, the players do. Try and keep up…
Jill,
Childish, even for you. Try and keep up.
Is the “climate cult” training program focusing on “global boiling” or the “gates of hell”?
Nice try,J-which doesn’t refute the fact that the people do the electing, not the government.
