"NEA guidance issued in June outlined how unions could claim entitlement to increased teacher compensation from federal COVID-19 emergency relief funding and school cost savings realized during the pandemic.

And also meanwhile, eviction moratoriums allowed renters to scam the system while landlords had to foot the tax bill, maintenance costs, insurance and utility bills, not to mention the bank note.
Small mom & pop landlords are going bankrupt. NYS still has an eviction moratorium going on until 1/15/22 at which time it will be indefinitely extended by Gov. Ratface (Hochul)

And the Democrats always b***h and whine about “Waste, Fraud, and Abuse”, and all the while they are wasting, defrauding, and abusing.

The problem isn’t rich people not paying taxes. The problem is Democrats’ addiction to buying votes with taxpayer funds.

We grew up on teachers’ pay back when they got paid dirt. Now, it is moving up to the higher ranks. I missed out again.

That may be true for many but not all. By the way, what’s a union?

Communists always take care of their own...

It has been the communists teaching/radicalizing the government's children for the past 50-years that has gotten the communist leaders their current control of the country...

Naturally the communist leaders will take care of the largest block of voting communists in the country...
