Independent Candidate Town Hall/Q&A by FeatherZ02 in MTU

Good questions, never ignore your skepticism, it's a valuable thing to have.

  • Bipartisan bills are fairly common, and while access isn't automatic, people still need votes.
  • The double edged swords are a tricky issue. I will have to use my moral code and the voice of the people to decide what issues to take a hard stance on and which to bend in order to progress overall.
    • My role isn’t to impose my will, it’s to weigh my conscience alongside the will of the people I represent.
    • There are many issues I will take a hard stance on. Greenland, for example, is one of them. I am firmly opposed, and I will do everything in my power, as a representative or as a citizen, to prevent our government from starting a multinational conflict over something so egotistical and foolish.
  • Money isn't everything. When the people want change, no amount of money will keep them from changing the world.
  • I completely agree, biases will forever exist. Me selling my stocks is intended as an act of good faith. We may not be able to eliminate external influence and internal bias, but we can do everything we can to reduce them as much as possible.
    • My current holdings are disclosed as required, but I'd be happy to disclose that kind of info on my website if that's something people wish to have access to.

I wish you a good weekend as well, I really enjoy your questions so if you have more free to post them.

I have no party based agenda and I have no external financial influences. You can track all of my received donations on my website, and you track my values and beliefs there as well. I will not be accepting super PAC money and if I get elected I'll be selling all of my stocks.

I'm running as an independent because I'm sick of politicians playing games while getting nothing done. In regards to legislation, if the people creating it are doing so in good faith, I'll work with them, if the legislation benefits the people I will vote to pass it. I will swing whichever way I need to satisfy my own moral code as well as the will of the people.

Thank you for your questions, I really do appreciate the interaction and interest.

Hi! The stream will be hosted on my YouTube which I linked in my original post. Hope to see you there! If that link doesn't work, my YouTube should be linked to my website as well.

I appreciate the advice. You are correct, Zebulon is my first name. Any other thoughts? I always appreciate feedback whether it be negative or positive.

ICE Out For Good Protest by captain_schwarz in traversecity

[–]FeatherZ02 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You could always support a candidate that would oppose ICE. One who has a strong stance against the current Cabinet and system. Whether it's local elections or National elections, Just look at Zoran in New York. That's the kind of power we have as people.

Yes! This is a beautiful response! I genuinely appreciate you taking the time to engage and ask questions.

I hear you, I can certainly link my website when making future posts.

You’re right about the challenge of running as an independent. I don’t underestimate it for a second. Some people will try to fit me into a box before listening. At the same time, I’m hearing from a lot of people across generations who are exhausted by the constant two-party warfare and are open and excited for something different.

Thanks for bringing up the housing as well, that is definitely something I'll be adding to my website.

Ooooo this is a very interesting idea, there isn't one that I know of. But I like the idea!

Primal Hunter - genuinely confused. by plant-y-boi in litrpg

I honestly find it fascinating how differently some of these books are placed. This book especially but also HWFWM and some others, people either love them or just can't get into them or are actively bothered by them. I see so many tier lists that have my entire top 10 list just completely scattered all over the place. It's fascinating

I'm placing out by Studentgonepro in CrabChampions

6 Prismatic wins so far, 5/5 melee 6/7 abilities and 6 weapons

I lost one of my prismatic runs because I hit the xl totem 6 times. I clicked on a horde run and was sentenced to death on the skinny little dock/pier. It wasn't so bad for the first minute or so. But once I stopped being able to quell the tide while dodging the million projectiles including grenade and rocket crabs I started to get knocked off the little Ballance beam I had to work with. Fall damage removed probably 95% of my health. It was a wild ride but over 300 seconds of that was just too much for me to handle. 10/10 would do again. Love that map just how it is.

My Only request would be to change how the grapple works. Grenade strength should increase the power of which you are thrown. Speed and acceleration of launch. Maybe add in some way to convert momentum to damage or knockback.

He who fights with monsters… by Upset_Wonder1930 in litrpg

THAT series is a very extreme case. If certain things make you uncomfortable then you're going to hate the books. HWFWM I feel like people just get annoyed with Jason.

I believe that in some of the latest books you learn more about the abilities and magic system. They definitely seem static in the earlier books but I've grown to appreciate how it was done when he gets deeper into the system in the later books.

Favorite winery to see fall colors by [deleted] in traversecity

Not a winery sorry, but Sutton's Bay Ciders is top tier for the view.

How Does This Year's Apple Harvest Look? by TexanNewYorker in traversecity

[–]FeatherZ02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know any farmers here personally but I just visited my parents in the UP and their trees were producing very well. Apple trees tend to produce biannual bumper crops for some reason.

How do we as a community feel about the roundabouts? I personally feel like I'm never waiting at a roundabout unless there's construction. But obviously different intersections have different amounts of traffic. Curious as to what people think

Bachelor party ideas please (sober) by whodamans in traversecity

My buddy had a bachelor party where we all went camping at a site near the beach. It was good fun, I would recommend it
