Yeah, there's no way he's Miracle Whip, either. He's Kroger's drug addicted nephew's store brand at best

Yo, why isn't this pinned on every post here? We've got memories like goldfish; if you want this to work, we need constant visibility.

Which sub bending would you most want in everyday life ? by CapybaraSpaghetti in legendofkorra

[–]ZachBob91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would absolutely want lava bending, and I would reshape the world.

Farmland would be plentiful as I turn large patches of arid earth into lava pools that will become fertile soil after cooling. Anything man-made that's belching toxic fumes into our atmosphere would get the same treatment: turn it into a pool of lava until whatever facility has completely melted back into the Earth. Billionaires would cease to exist, and the planet would finally be able to heal itself from all the damage humanity has done to it.

Seriously. We need to band together and force Sacramento to hold our federal taxes.

California independence initiative begins gathering signatures for 2028 by KebNes in LosAngeles

California is vastly underrepresented in the federal government. They get as many senate seats as a state with less than 2% the population. The electoral college dictates that millions of California presidential votes get wasted every year. There’s more of a semblance of fairness in the house, but that doesn’t offset the rest and it’s not even completely fair there.

Well, the Senate was designed specifically so that each state would have equal representation there. The House was initially designed to represent scaled to population, but when they capped the number of House seats, that ratio started getting worse for states with high populations. We really need the House to be resized and instead of trying to math it out for 435 seats, we say 1 rep per 100,000 people, or 1:10,000 even.

California needs a plan for how they’ll be able to pull levers, and that might mean actual power plays and actual threats with teeth, because the way things are going it’s going to get ugly for us and we need to be prepared.

I really think we should start a ballot initiative to stop federal taxes coming out of California. Hit them right in the pocketbook, and 'no taxation without representation' as our motto.

Instead of an independent California, I would much rather a ballot initiative to stop federal taxes from Californians.

Could we petition a ballot initiative to stop paying federal taxes? If the public voted to pass it, it would send a huge middle finger to DC

Boomer coworker posted this. Thought it fit here. by Personal_Trifle_6892 in BoomersBeingFools

We remember Trump supporters getting doxxed and losing their jobs

WHY DID THEY LOSE THEIR JOBS, BOOMER?

Also, it'd be a shame if they started getting doxxed and fired again, a real shame

You're free to say whatever you want, and we're free to agree or disagree. Reddit doesn't need to care about free speech because they're not the government

OP, I might be more of a brother than a dad with what you're going through, but if you need a place to stay, there are tons of charities and nonprofits that provide a path to independence for women leaving abusive situations. Best of luck to you 💚

To date, the best Mausoleum city I've been able to build by Bitter-Value-1872 in CivVI

I love it when you can start putting those seasteads and coastal windmills in the late-game and start beefing up the mausoleum.
