That’s what you get for trying to have a real life.

It looks like there is a work around for that, but it involves the Rules Committee, which is typically appointed by the Speaker. So, yeah, not possible, outside of some exceptions that I’m not sure I understand well enough to explain. Something about things that are “privileged”.

The concept is wonderful. I do not trust Elon with that concept. I worry that many folks with high hopes of this helping them will just end up used and hurt.

According to that site, Napster pays more. Here’s the info on TIDAL:

I use Napster. I chose it way back when Spotify paid for the Rogan podcast, from a list of platforms that pay artists more. I’m not sure if that’s true any longer, but look it up! I’ve been really happy with their service. (And it’s really full circle for me, since I used their original service decades ago.)

ETA I can’t vouch for the accuracy of this site, but it says Napster is still one of the top-paying platforms.

It was apparently before the college campus protests. I wonder what he thinks about those.

Maybe we would finally get prison reform, then

I think you’re confusing a wealth tax with an income tax. They’re different. As for how these wealthy people pay, it’s not up to the government to figure out how someone pays their taxes. The onus is on the taxpayer.

Gun control, now

Orange. Pure orange, yellow orange, neon, burnt. Not so much red-orange, but I do love oranges that have a bit of a pink sheen, like padparadscha sapphires.

Minneapolis should make public transit free for a few* months, to encourage folks to use that instead. Golden opportunity.

How about you just don’t make this kind of analogy in the year 2024?

Prop 1 is just the first proposition on that ballot. It gets reused every time. It’s preferable to reference the actual title of the proposition, rather than just saying Prop 1.

Twelve FEET? Like, two six-foot- tall people standing on top of each other?? 🤯

“The government” doesn’t want to argue that. Some idiot politicians do.

Just wanted to tell you that I really enjoyed reading your take on Swift. Thanks for sharing. ☺️

Thanks, I was wondering if Taylor Swift’s team won!

I would bet that tiger attack insurance for someone who brings a tiger with then in public would be astronomical.

The point is to put the burden of cost where it actually belongs. Instead of society footing the bill, now gun owners will pay into an insurance system that will cover costs in the event of damage.

So help them vote. Volunteer with efforts to get out the youth vote. Push for universal mail in voting where you are, or at least early voting. Help get politicians and initiatives on the ballot that they actually care about.

Shaming and complaining about the demographic you want to reach accomplishes nothing.
