Virginia's governors are limited to a single term, so there's little political exposure for him, but it's an election year in Virginia and Dems are hoping to retake both the Senate and the House, so they'll probably pressure him to resign. Then again, the VA GOP is so out of step with 2019 that they'll probably ignore the issue and go after his record of expanding healthcare to poor people. e: Or even better, attack soon-to-be Governor Fairfax (who's black) for being racist. psydude fucked around with this message at 08:52 on Feb 2, 2019 |

Casimir Radon posted:Generally what do you have to do to end up owing taxes? gently caress with your withholdings a bunch? Because the tax bill was rushed through at the end of the year, the IRS couldn't provide any guidance to companies on proper withholding rates. A lot of people were still having their pay withheld at rates that presumed you could deduct your state income taxes. As a result, they wound of paying too little. The tax bill basically transferred money from blue states to red states with no income tax. psydude fucked around with this message at 21:18 on Feb 5, 2019 |

I wouldn't be surprised if Fairfax and Herring are political hit jobs by the VA GoP, who are facing the prospects of losing both chambers of the legislature this year. Herring is clearly trying to preempt a story that's about to come out.

egyptian rat race posted:Putting down "American Indian" on your state bar paperwork seems lovely, even for a lawyer. I wish they cracked down on all the contractor companies owned by white as gently caress 1/64th Cherokee cardholders who use that to win contracts If I might go full woke for a second, the whole blood quantum thing is an under-appreciated Jim Crowe campaign that was designed to disenfranchise Native Americans in the South. The Dawes Rolls were a well-intentioned, but catastrophically imperfect attempt to rectify this problem and the effects are still felt to this day. The bottom line is that a lot of white, black, and brown people today have Native American heritage, only a fraction of whom are still forced (by circumstance) to live in the abject (and ignored) poverty of Native American reservations. Warren is a bit disingenuous for playing the whole Native American card and the DNA test was really stupid, but the whole concept of Native ancestry in the US often ignores the social and historical nuances of the whole affair.

egyptian rat race posted:Yeah sorry, I am pretty ignorant of how those cards are used. I'm only familiar with my own industry (engineering) and seen companies game that system for minority/female ownership, amongst other things like getting creative with finances to stay below a certain (8-figure) revenue to retain "disadvantaged" status. It sucks. Oh man I'm right there with you with regards to it being exploited by white, middle class dudes (the same way that men will give their minority, veteran wives a 50.1% ownership stake in a company to claim all of that). But I'm also loathe to call an individual out on their heritage because it's been over 500 years since the first Europeans came to North America and a lot of "full blooded" natives were excluded from federal recognition for a variety of reasons (see: large groups of the Powhatan in Virginia).

Scratch a "pro-lifer" and you'll see someone who believes women should know their place in a home, gussied up nice with other language like being concerned for the morality of society and the righteous value of the nuclear family and so on. Also someone who believes in punishing the poor for being poor by doing poo poo like attaching work requirements to Medicaid and SNAP.

egyptian rat race posted:If you don't think that the complexity and difficulty of appliance and auto repair has increased dramatically over last two decades as opposed to the decades previous, I don't know what to say. My point is that the added utility gained over that time period doesn't always justify that complexity/difficulty and the associated cost. The reason modern cars are insanely powerful and fuel efficient compared to their 80s counterparts is because of the technology that's used in them. "Easy to fix" doesn't always translate to better. On the flip side, connecting everything and anything to an app is also dumb. I don't need my fridge to tell me the weather. My phone already does that.

pantslesswithwolves posted:I think Northam might actually squeak by, heavily damaged and politically toxic, but Lt. Gov. Fairfax is probably going down. A second woman just came forward and accused him of sexual assault. I dunno, never underestimate the ability of the VA Republican party to alienate basically anyone who isn't a CHUD. Trump has already guaranteed everywhere north of the Rappahannock will stay blue indefinitely, and the rest of the state's GOP seats are only there by the grace of Gerrymandering.

Here's some rare good news out of the senate: Senate passes bill to expand national parks by 1.3 billion acres in US west quote:The measure protects 1.3 million acres as wilderness, the nation’s most stringent protection that prohibits even roads and motorized vehicles. It permanently withdraws more than 370,000 acres of land from mining around two national parks, including Yellowstone, and permanently authorizes a program to spend offshore drilling revenue on conservation efforts.

Proud Christian Mom posted:Airbus pulling the plug on the A380. Meh. Outside of middle eastern airlines (and Singapore) that convert half the plane into apartments and a bar for The Gram, it seems like a massive waste of money these days to operate a 4 engine plane unless you're Qantas and need to ferry large numbers of people to the other side of the planet. The B777 carries an rear end ton of people without being a double decker, and the A350 can fly half way around the world without refueling.
