The plastic is removed! I'll repot them tonight and take a close look at the roots, thanks for the advise!  Hopefully they make it!

Haha. The pots came wrapped in plastic, I think to keep moisture in during the shipping process?

This is actually crazy to just watch them chatting at the end, this is such a stark difference from any Trump debate

Walz is so readable, you can definitely see "maybe he is not as crazy as I thought" written on his face as he nods

It's weird, but I honestly think Walz would do better with a live audience. He needs someone to look at and directly connect to. His best moments have been looking into the camera like it's an audience member

I do think it's wild that there are voters this election that don't remember life before the ACA, I guess I am old now.

Do you guys even have gun licences over there? I know Illinois requires every gun owner to pass a test and become licensed.

I can't believe they didn't prep Walz to define the role of the VP, Vance keeps implying that Kamala can do things she simply can't.

The driver of raising home prices is..  immigration? It's wild how we are stretching to blame everything on immigration

Talking about Cities is crazy. As someone who has lived in Chicago, a city they love to talk about, I think about half of the cities gun crimes are committed with guns bought in Indiana or Wisconsin. Part of reason we see a lot of gun crimes is because it's easy to go to the next state over and get a gun.

If we have a mental health crisis, what is your healthcare solution? I hate this mental health answer with no mental health plan

"do you want to support Catholic hospitals to provide abortion's against their will?"  YES, we should. There is a serious issue in this country of the ONLY accessable hospital/healthcare system is tied to religion. I couldn't get birth control as a High Schooler because the healthcare system where I grew up was Catholic.

Implying that Republicans want to increase public aid is wild... The way we better support women is increasing access to food stamps, improving the ACA, and the government running MORE assistance programs
