Manning Buyout Negotiations Have Begun

Totally because they kept Pelosi out of the negotiations from the beginning, yet she delayed it by several days with her shenanigans

"Little of Pelosi’s Wish List Made It Into COVID-19 Relief Bill. That’s a Relief in Itself.

Before the bill made it through the Senate, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., temporarily derailed it by insisting that any relief bill include a left-wing wish list unrelated to the ongoing pandemic and the economic slowdown that it’s causing.

Among other things, Pelosi would have:
•Mandated “diversity” on corporate boards and in banks.
•Required airlines to disclose and reduce emissions.
•Mandated that states allow voting by mail.
•Increased union bargaining power.
•Expanded tax credits for wind and solar power.
•Prohibited universities from disclosing the citizenship status of their students.
•Provided a bailout for some private pensions.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Pelosi was not going to be accused of letting a crisis go to waste.

In what is becoming a familiar theme (think of her failed attempt to control how the Senate conducted its impeachment trial), Pelosi backed down shortly after making her demands.

With the legislation now through Congress, how much of Pelosi’s wish list made it into the bill?

None of the wish-list items listed above made the cut, but there remains a lot of unnecessary and unwise spending in it.

Diversity requirements for banks and corporate boards are out, as is Pelosi’s demand for a Securities and Exchange Commission advisory group to promote corporate “diversity.”

Also out is her demand that companies taking relief funds establish and staff a minimum five-year “diversity and inclusion” program. Indeed, the words “diversity” and “inclusion” don’t appear in the legislation passed by the Senate.

The package also does not include any new carbon emissions restrictions or disclosure requirements for airlines or other industries.

Similarly missing are any of her proposals for a federal takeover of state elections.

Her attempt to give unions a handout failed, too, as did her attempt to give a handout to wind and solar power providers.

The bill does not prevent colleges and universities from disclosing their students who are illegal aliens, or provide any other shroud for illegal status.

Likewise, the private pension bailouts she demanded are nowhere to be found in the Senate bill.

Pelosi succeeded in delaying the relief package by several days, but she failed to capitalize on what her No. 2 lieutenant, Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., called a “tremendous opportunity to restructure things to fit our vision.”

Still, Pelosi took to Twitter to celebrate her success in turning the Senate Republicans’ bill “upside down.”

The House had the bill for 24 hours. Look it up and educate yourself:

How are the buyout negotiations going?

Seemingly dead. Instead we can talk about how a young incel spewing mistruths influences old men to regurgitate the same garbage on a top-30 university's message board, while we all sit at home due to a global pandemic.

Apparently people in Charlotte don't want to buy red meat during a pandemic, so they left all the steak for me.

I have grilled steak 6 out of the last 8 days and I'm not mad about it at all.

Interesting. Up here in W-S, until this week all the meat, including red, has been in short supply. Walmart and Food Lion implemented voluntary rationing asking folks to limit themselves to two packages per customer which has slowly helped. I noticed this weekend, those stores were almost back to "normal" meat cases, as were Aldi and Lidl.
Lowes ( the store at Oliver's Crossing,)best as I could tell has never done the "volunteer rationing" thing, but did grind up and package everything they normally would have in the glass meat case. I can't speak on how Publix has dealt with it here, as I rarely go there. I've heard that Whole Foods has rationed however.
Thus ends Chef Shogun's Winston-Salem Meat Report. Lol
