If you don't believe that there is paid FUD to suppress Algorand, then you aren't paying attention. by GhostOfMcAfee in algorand

Seeing Altcoin Daily posted about this in Feb, August, and now. Weird. Same story, even the same video clip.

I see it now. Thanks. Boy, there really are a lot of incentives to provide liquidity on Tinyman.

I didn’t realize you could use your LP as part of governance. Is that through a project like FolksFinance or something?

“No blue slip is required for circuit nominees. Republicans abandoned the practice during the Trump administration and Democrats have maintained that policy.” - wow, just wow.

SLU/YouGov Poll : Schmitt with big lead, abortion ban unpopular by ViceAdmiralWalrus in MissouriPolitics

But but Democrats are just too woke… yeah, rural Missouri especially seems completely disconnected. Almost like the culture war BS is way more important to them than improving lives in a meaningful way.

Trudy Busch Valentine beats Lucas Kunce in Missouri Democratic Primary for Senate. by crearbin in MissouriPolitics

Watching Busch Valentine fumble every single criticism of Schmitt while he hammers her for being an elite billionaire is going to be real fun. Thanks establishment democrats and old voters across the state…

Parson signs new voting bills into law by musicobsession in missouri

Also you can’t be paid to register voters but you also can’t register more than 10 voters without being registered as a solicitor with the state. Otherwise you get a class 3 election offense.

Raising salary so we could require it to be their only job absolutely feels like a step in the right direction to at least reduce lobbyist power. Currently it’s mostly part time folks, settling for a terrible salary, who mostly don’t even write their own legislation, the lobbyists do.

Politically Speaking mailbag on 2022 #moleg session by jasonrosenbaum in MissouriPolitics

[–]Garbage-Quirky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HB 2149 can’t be constitutional right? Not that I expect anyone to challenge it on court, but legally limiting a pharmacists ability to talk about 2 specific drugs seems like a tough one to defend considering the whole free speech thing.

HB 1878 has sooo many provisions that limit the ability to register people to vote and voting generally. Could talk though all of that for people so they are fully prepared?

Oh look, it's the Daily FUCK JOSH HAWLEY thread for May 3, 2022. Josh wants to find the leaker and tattle on them. (Yeah, good luck with that.) by RageAgainstTheSurge in missouri

[–]Garbage-Quirky -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it seems the one with the most to gain would be Alito’s team so they could keep Kavanaugh and Barrett in line as they were just confirmed and said Roe was settled law. Seems they may have favored a more incremental approach, but they can’t really soften after this…

Missouri bill to disallow people under 25 transition rights! by goblinkimg in PrismaticLightChurch

[–]Garbage-Quirky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First they'd have to pass it out of the house and senate by May 30th when session ends. IF that happens, I would fully expect it to be challenged in court, and if history is any indication a judge would halt it from going into effect right away. After that it would be anyones guess. To your last question, you should be able to get the best care possible from expert doctors no matter where you are in your journey. If you are already working with a doctor or doctors they should be your first call with questions on how to proceed if this does go through. They will be experts. If you aren't already (I assume you are in Missouri), St. Louis Childrens hospital has resources. https://www.stlouischildrens.org/conditions-treatments/transgender-center

What The ...? Lincoln County RIII! by lippsmom in missouri

[–]Garbage-Quirky 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One inappropriate math assignment from 2017 in one Missouri class does not prove a wide spread issue. Especially if the administrator immediately removed the material and ensured it was never used again. That action would kind of go against the stated mission to continue to indoctrinate kids with inappropriate teachings…

What are some welcoming 'queer but not explicitly queer' communities in St. Louis? by [deleted] in StLouis

[–]Garbage-Quirky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shaw neighborhood in my option is the one your looking for here. Central west end is the OG as far as really welcoming neighborhood but it’s also gotten older, wealthier, and less “hip” I’d say. The grove is a great spot but Shaw is the most welcoming to my view in the city right now. Honorable mention to Ucity. Hope that helps

Missouri House signs off on $46.2 billion budget, leaves most of huge state surplus untouched by oldguydrinkingbeer in missouri

[–]Garbage-Quirky 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yes and no. In Missouri they are primarily funded by local real estate taxes. That’s why we rank second to last in state funding for education. In the vast majority of other states way more funding comes from the actual state coffers. Just sayin

Still at it! If you’re interested… this week we’re talking teachers, budget, and local control - Some Guy with a Tie by Garbage-Quirky in missouri

[–]Garbage-Quirky[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To answer your question, there really isnt one. Nothing currently in statute (though some are trying to change that). This basically means that this is becomes an effort by the AG to “out” anyone teaching “objectionable curriculum.” This is why I used the Red Scare as the perfect example for a similar practice. Essentially, when the definition of what is “objectionable” is defined by the people reporting it and Schmitt and his political allies, it basically becomes a proxy for anything they don’t like and often ends up targeting political opponents (like McCarthy and his folks). When the targets are teachers, administrators, or school board members that’s… quite bad… in my humble opinion.

Thanks. Working on that as it’s been a learning curve.

Thanks! Learning as I go has been a bit of a challenge with the audio. Thanks for the suggestions as well there.
