SENATE BILL: 21st Century Civilian Conservation Corps Act (Passed)

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Yankee wanted bills, so here's another filler based on RL legislation.

In essence, the aim of this bill is to revive the New Deal-era CCC for people who've lost their jobs or are unable to find new employment because of the pandemic, in addition to restoring public lands and preventing both wildfires and floods in areas that are prone to them. This will be particularly helpful to rural communities in creating new, environmentally friendly, living-wage jobs that will boost the outdoor economy.

Don't we have already lots of units dedicated to conserving natural environments and what not? I imagine at the very least there are various police and firefighting units dedicated to that. Perhaps even some units of the US military?

I guess one more can't hurt, but is there the need to create even further units? Are the current units not enough?

If the current units are currently overwhelmed, this bill is a great idea. If not, I am less convinced about the bill.

Like I said, this is pretty much a 'filler bill'. But it is based on pending legislation in the Senate, so I figured that Atlasia could use it as well.

For compensation, I'm inclined to favor a $15 wage. Probably going to need the CG for a cost estimate.

I'm alright, guys. I'm never completely gone from Atlasia.

But I actually think Tack is correct, and that 567,000 new jobs is nothing to sneeze at. Even if they're only temporary jobs, they should be sufficient to fixing the economy as much we can until the pandemic is over. This is, of course, in addition to past stimulus measures including the recent UBI extension.
