Voting isn’t actually a constitutional right like owning firearms is. There are protections about equality when it comes to voting, but not much about voting itself. States are generally given the right to decide who can vote and how they vote.
I personally don’t see that happening. To make any real drastic changes on the destroying democracy level you would have to throw away the Constitution, and I really don’t see that happening.
We also have a pretty heavily armed society, so with anything that crazy I would expect some fight back from civilians and military against the government, and hopefully that’s enough of a deterrent to not even try.
I can easily see this being a safety issue. You don’t usually want employees wearing stuff that could anger other employees or customers, no matter the reason.
I feel like not many people actually use the data port on their phones anymore, I know I haven’t used my android USB port for anything other than fast charging for I feel like 10 years. Do you even use the data connector on your phone?
What’s crazy is that you can come from a country like the US, having never driven a manual car before, and go legally rent and drive a manual car on the roads in the UK.
USA, 33, daily drive a stick.
Bought my first car with my own money in 2013, a 2014 WRX, it only came in manual. I’ve been driving it since.
What does that have to do with anything? Should I only care about what’s best for me, no matter how much it screws someone else?
The problem I have with taxing wealth is this. Let’s say you start a company, it blows up and becomes the next Amazon or whatever. You own most of the company still, or at least a controlling share in it.
Should you be forced to sell away some of your ownership in your own company just because the market values that ownership and voting power to be worth billions? Personally I don’t think so. There is a reason these big companies like Amazon, Apple, Tesla, etc can’t exist outside of the US, the owner would be forced to sell away their company just to pay for taxes on money they don’t have.
For some that ideas are radical, yes. However what I find more radical with Sanders is how he wants to fund all these “free” things. It’s basically a playbook of “how many different ways can we possibly tax the rich for more money than they have”.
Edit: since people seem to not get it, he wants to have taxes based on net worth, which will mean taxes that cost more than the amount of money these people have. Net worth isn’t the same as money/cash.
Even if it isn’t torture, just the idea of them being punished could easily be enough to convince people. I would honestly be surprised if there are no consequences to the families of Russian traitors
I don’t know much about Russian prisons, but I might take my chances on the battlefield and try escaping.
That is, unless you have family, in which case I wouldn’t put it past them to force compliance by threatening your family. I would probably serve “loyally” if not doing so meant my family would be thrown in torture prison for life or killed.
Looks like she might have targeted higher risk babies so it’s harder to catch, and of course many murders seem to be really good at faking feelings and appearing innocent. One part in the article makes me think all the victims were premature births, and that some of them were especially at risk due to that.
Police choose to be police, aren’t many of the Russian soldiers drafted or forced to serve at this point?
I wore one when I was required to and didn’t wear one when I wasn’t, so sorry for following the rules?
That reality is reality? People die of lots of different things, I’m sorry I’m that’s news to you.
I call it reality.
Thousands die every day from tons of other stuff also, just a part of life.
I’m sorry, but people die of lots of different things all the time, it sucks but it’s a part of life
That’s fair, but I think you can still compare it to the flu, which is not that far off from covid percentage wise. At this point both the flu and covid should be at an equal level of people having vaccines and natural antibodies, right? Even if you go with covid being about twice as deadly as the flu, twice as deadly as almost nothing is still almost nothing.
It’s my belief that the reason nobody has seriously tried to change the Constitution to remove or modify the 2nd amendment is that they know it’s currently impossible. Changing the Constitution requires a serious amount of working together and agreement between the state and federal governments, and that just doesn’t exist right now.
That’s why some states are trying to pass unconstitutional laws, it’s easier to do that and get away with it at least for a little bit than it is to change the construction.
