    Key takeaways from Biden's 1st prime-time address to the nation.
    ABC News (Moderate Left) • Credibility Grade 77% • 5 min read

    [President Biden's first prime-time address] came the same day he signed a $1.9 trillion Covid-19 relief package into law, and several days before he planned to hit the road to pitch the law to Americans. In his remarks, Biden said he was "announcing that I will direct all states, tribes and territories to make all adults, people 18 and over, eligible to be vaccinated by May 1."
    ...
    Senior administration officials told reporters earlier Thursday that Biden had the power to do so with powers through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. While [states] have largely followed federal guidance for the order in which to vaccinate different groups, there is still a patchwork of different eligibility guidelines that restrict who can receive it.
    ...
    Earlier in the evening, the White House said the military will deploy 4,000 more active-duty service members "to support vaccination efforts," with 6,000 total troops backing vaccination programs. The president also set the Fourth of July as a new marker for the United States on the path to normalcy.

BEST COMMENTS

Employees - As they ruled in the UK, they are employees because unlike contractors, they cannot set the prices of the ride or negotiate their take of it.


Contractors - I’m an independent contractor. What’s getting overlooked in media coverage is how the ABC test in the Pro Act has a strict “b” qualification: ICs have to be in a different industry than t...


Contractors - As an occasional Lyft driver, I have no interest in being an employee of the company and worry that it would close do...
