Just took a shit. 23 courics. beat that!

I’d argue the paper is “ID” for the purposes of this discussion and it’s freely provided by the government with no burden to the citizen.

Then pay for it through taxes for fucks sake

In my experience in an EU country, sufficient ID was also provided freely by the government (eg a social security card).

This is not something in the US that is free. ID must also be a photo ID. So let’s say you have a job where you work 7 days a week and take the bus because you don’t have a driver’s license. To get sufficient ID you must then: take unpaid time off of work, get to an office that issues ID, pay like $20 for such an ID… All to have the opportunity to exercise the right to vote.

This is both a tax and an unreasonable burden, effectively disenfranchising millions of poor people.

This is solvable though, if the government issues free IDs and sets something up to facilitate people getting their photos taken. However that would never be executed effectively, nor would people support paying the costs.

Aside from having digital post for public services and official mail from things like financial institutions, nobody’s stopping you from putting paper into a parcel envelope or using DAO who is taking over letter delivery.

And then everyone clapped

Same, and I’ve tried others. I want the app drawer to have tabs, I want to change the folder appearance… Use gestures. Something is always missing.

And his father? Because it also says clearly that as long as one parent is a green card holder or citizen that citizen ship is granted.

How would you classify this? I know it to be fake, but its created to make a point. But its good enough that someone could be fooled intl believing it was real, no?

Imagine a primary with AOC, Pete Buttegieg, and maybe a third younger candidate…

All could be really exciting to see advance, but they’ll split the vote and open the way for some stupid fucking corpse to win.

I hate this system.

I hear you, but this is subjective and not objective. A bad faith actor, presumably an authoritarian government, can exploit laws like this to advance their agenda. “Yes, I was definitely convinced that was George HW Bush”.

Subjective judgements are ripe for abuse of power, sadly.

It’s a slippery slope from something that is otherwise well intentioned.

Define what a deep fake is over a parody or other political commentary.

I’m with you in your frustration, but this only furthers a class of elites being eligible to govern. The test needs to be at a level that anyone going through compulsory education could pass. Eg 8th grade.

Additionally, I would do the test at candidate registration. There is no pass fail, but the electorate can decide if they’re qualified enough (as it’s the right of the electorate).

Maybe it doesn’t fix it fully but we can directly point to who is a moron, and who voted for said morons.

They did not. They had radar, which was removed.

See you in 2032

Only two of what you mentioned are American brands, which is probably pretty relevant for a Senator to consider.

This is super duper protected political speech. So, no, it’s not illegal.

Nobody buys less stuff with a single day boycotts. They just shifted their purchases before or after.

All of the labels in these stores are e-ink displays.

Further, there actually are shelves with American goods, but surprisingly, goods that come from outside the EU are not limited to the US…
