Sorry it’s not the responsibility of the most vulnerable to take on power just so you can be comfortable in the middle class.

In Soc 110, we were taught that's exactly why there is a middle class: to serve as a buffer between the wealthy and the poor. The middle class is shrinking.

Hi, thanks so much for your kind words. I'm working on finding a sweet spot between healthy skepticism and cynicism, kindness and gullibility. It's tricky, and both cause unnecessary suffering, for all parties involved. While I'd prefer to be inerrant, that's not very realistic, since I'm human. I'm learning, and that means mistakes. Thank you again for your kind words.

Maybe, maybe not. Their post history doesn't imply to me anything other than that they feel strongly about the subject. A glance through their post history doesn't suggest otherwise to me, but I tend to give broad leeway for lengthier time periods.

I can see it either way. It wasn't the best word choice, but to me, the meaning was clear. It just seems like nitpicking, tbh.

Are you saying no lawyer should represent a defendant? If those lawyers didn't represent the defendants, who would? The Constitution mandates that defendants have competent legal representation.

I mean if you keep funding genocide to the tune of billions when kids can't eat at school and veterans are homeless, it's not not supporting genocide.

Blac Bloc/Antifa don't organize?

Hasbara maybe?

Yes; I'm wondering if political/natural disaster might accidentally converge to increase the odds?

The affidavit originally submitted with the Green Party’s petition in July 2023 was the correct one. However, because the petition that the Green Party submitted contained a separate mistake, an employee in the secretary of state’s office sent the party a sample petition that included the wrong affidavit – for use with petitions to put initiatives and referenda on the ballot. As a result, the affidavits that the Green Party later submitted with its petitions did not contain the attestation required for access to the ballot.

Wow.

Thanks so much! I'm just in the bright idea stages, looking for a plan, but you gave me a great idea, maybe for lift.

I really liked this, especially since quality, quality of life including ample green space is incorporated. Thank you for sharing.
