More ignorance from the right.
Cannabis is a huge industry in states where it's legal, and those businesses deserve help just like any other business out there. I never hear your fake outrage about corporate welfare for billion dollar corporations.

NY Post is a trash tabloid. It's so bad my parrot refuses to crap on it.

There are safely measures added via the bill to PREVENT more deaths, and to protect workers on the job. And to help unemployed workers get back to work. And to help businesses.

Yet McConnell and Trump don't want to pass it. I dare them both to get a list of people to Zoom call and have to listen to the reaction of real people suffering of why they will not put the bill to a vote or sign the bill. McConnell's should all be Kentucky based since he will have to answer to them in November.

Democrats' $3T "stimulus" bill is a far-left wish list... mentions "cannabis" 68 times, more than "jobs" or "job"
If it mentions cannabis even once, it has not chance in a GOP Senate.

Maybe it is designed to fail.

The conservatives are against protections for workers, just like they were with child labor laws, workers' safety protections, the 8-hour workday, and food safety laws.

Team Red, after passing several Marxist bills in the past few months, suddenly fancies itself as capitalist?

Excuse me while I laugh my ass off.

I am in agreement that marijuana needs to be legalized across the entire country and regulated like tobacco and alcohol.

Not in agreement with 3 trillion dollars.

And approx. 13-1/3 tons of useless pork. The bill is a laundry list of Democrat talking points.

Dump it. Congress can do a lot better.
