I believe that after 50lbs it becomes a team lift and requires 2 people to lift the bag. Which 1 person can do but when hunched over in the belly of the plane it becomes harder and more likely to injure one’s back.

The economy of the State of California is the largest in the United States, with a $4.080 trillion gross state product (GSP) as of 2024.[1] It is the largest sub-national economy in the world.

I think it passed the house, a simple majority, but got tied up in the senate were you need 60 votes(60%). So without some democrats willing to vote yes in the senate it got hung up. Republicans were unwilling to negotiate on key items and that is where the finger pointing from both sides come from. So in away yes the democrats are “at fault” for doing their jobs and not voting yes on something they do not agree with. But so are the republicans for showing no willingness to discuss and change things to get it to pass. You know the thing that they are suppost to do.
