Bipartisan support isn't gonna work based on what I've seen in the last 12 years. Maybe it's worth giving it a go for a couple weeks to see if it can work, but after that if it doesn't bear fruit there needs to be a quick shift to the mindset of "Fuck what the GOP thinks. I'm going to shove through everything I can." I don't think Biden has the balls to do that. Hopefully I'm wrong.
You need 60 votes to pass most bills in the senate, due to the filibuster. Multiple Democratic Senators, including Joe Manchin and Bernie Sanders said they are not in favor of removing the filibuster (because they know that when they are the minority party, it stops Republicans from pushing extremely partisan legislation through if they dont have 60 votes in their party). Cabinet level posts, and judicial noms already have the filibuster gone. Its how Trump shoved through so many federal judges.

The other instance where only 50 votes are needed is the reconciliation process (for budgetary matters). Covid relief would fall under this (but the $15 minimum wage that was proposed to be attached to this would probably not be, so itd be stripped out of the bill imo).

I get why Biden is dangling this over the GOP. He wants to get stuff accomplished when most bills in the Senate need 60 votes.

I'll grant you that it's a bit early to judge. But I let's also keep in mind that Dems now control both the executive branch and both houses of congress. There aren't a lot of excuses if he doesn't get a lot of shit done, and I for one am not expecting miracles from this guy
Ive seen it mentioned that the person who might be least happy about the Georgia runoffs might be Joe Biden. Dems have the trifecta so hes going to get yelled at a lot by progressives when he doesnt push their agenda all the time

Well first off it seems some manufacturers are raising prices on 3000 series (ASUS and EVGA is what Ive seen so far. Not sure why.

But cards are still very scarce, for multiple reasons:
  • Covid impacting supply chains
  • Everyone wants one. People with older cards want to upgrade, not just the 2000-series owners (who feel ripped off after Ampere was revealed).
  • Scalping is awful. The shoe scalpers joined in because they saw they could make a killing off of this.
