Biden says the ramp up of vaccinations in his first 100 days is “one of the greatest logistical achievements this country has ever seen.” Let s raise the minimum wage to $15, Biden says. Remember, that s a provision that was dropped from American Rescue plan in March in order for it to make it through reconciliation.
From the
Guardian‘s liveblog:
At each step, Biden is explaining that his plans – to improve water infrastructure, to increase internet access, to address climate change – will all create jobs.
“The American Jobs Plan will put engineers and construction workers to work building more energy efficient buildings and homes,” Biden said. “The American Jobs Plan will help millions of people get back to their jobs and their careers.”

Madison in the Sixties – the film the UW suppressed.
In the summer of 1960, local NAACP president Lloyd Barbee wanted to expose housing discrimination in the Madison rental market. So he proposed to the University of Wisconsin-Extension Bureau of Audio- Visual Instruction that instructor Stuart Hanisch produce a film to be called “To Find a Home.” Barbee and Hanisch explained to BAVI director Professor Fredrick A. White and Extension dean L. H. Adolfson that a group of Black and white actors posing as would- be renters would respond to apartment listings around Madison; Hanisch would use hidden microphones and a telephoto lens to capture any landlords telling the Black and white testers different stories about a unit’s availability. White and Adolfson approved the project, and in July 1961, the regents accepted $3,000 which Barbee raised towards the film’s $4,000 budget.
