What would it even mean to "fact check a secret ballot"? It's not electronic so there's no transaction log beyond rolls at voting locations, and all (most) handling of absentee and mail ballots already handles duplicates.

Of course regarding the other half, social media posts are mostly opinion, but those that are illegal get removed.

Imagine a 1950s world where newspapers were forced to publish all letters to the editor. :downsgun: Or maybe loving watch the Twilight Zone and realize that the "state bad guys" were unilaterally racist, classist, ableist, suppressive Nazis:

To be fair, Paul Ryan was in favor of a policy that would nationalize the stock market (he wanted to invest a percentage of Social Security in stocks, but SS is big enough that the US Government would end up owning the entire stock market within a couple of decades), so maybe he was secretly in favor of a single-payer healthcare system too.

This is just a regular Trump supporter doubling down on January 6th. "If I don't get Trump, burn the country down".

Coming to the 20% point of realizing that Trump lost must be mentally awful if they're not even bothering to attack the democrats anymore. They're just back to the 2000 Republican plan of bankrupting the country.

What's next? "If the United States cares about the environment, I've got news for you, the Eurounion/United Nations can't change the planet's temperature".

Yes, Congresspeople and their staff buy their insurance through DC's Obamacare exchange. However, they also still get the employer subsidies for their coverage they were getting back when they had employer-provided health insurance instead.

This is because the Obamacare exchanges aren't really designed to handle people who already have health insurance through their employers. But Republicans, specifically Chuck Grassley, thought they could score points by demanding Congress use Obamacare. And then, as you note, their bluff was called and they had to kludge together a way to make it work.

Again a very likpatous story
I went to Little Caesars today to grab something quick for dinner and there was a sign taped next to the drive through window that said that menu prices would be raised due to a minimum wage increase. I haven't heard about one in Virginia but I assume they're just raising prices everywhere because some states might be.

I know that the stock market calls for infinite growth (which is obviously unsustainable) and that in order to have growth that raising prices is going to be necessary if there's a wage increase, despite the fact wages aren't a large part of a company's spending. But I feel like having a sign calling it out is meant to get people angry that the minimum wage is going up because "Hey now poo poo costs more, drat those politicians for raising minimum wage!" and while it's not "Fifteen dollars for a Big Mac" type increases, people will get mad over a 50 cent increase if you say it's because you're paying workers slightly more.

I have heard that the dude who owns Little Caesars is an rear end in a top hat so I definitely feel like this is a purposeful attempt to say "Hey, if you don't like us raising our prices, be sure and vote for politicians who will never raise minimum wage."

It was probably a franchisee pulling that poo poo. Oddly enough the dude that owned Little Caesars till he died a few years ago was like the polar opposite of Papa "Why aren't I allowed to say the N-Word?" John.


John Schnatter (Papa Johns douche) threw a shitfit with the ACA was passed in 2010 and told everyone that pizza prices would go up because of it...which he did and then proceeded to lowball his employees by cutting hours so he wasn't mandated to offer health insurance to most of his work force.

Specifically, Schnatter announced he'd have to raise prices by 10-14 cents a pizza to deal with the crushing costs of Obamacare, and apparently expected everyone to go, "No, you're right, that's clearly unaffordable, better give up any thought of expanding health care access."
