items: lnxw48a1: @clacke I remember when every politician said "information super highway" in every speech they gave. Even today, I associate that phrase with #pollies.

items: lnxw48a1: @clacke Whomever that person is, they are not among the #pollies on the newschannels every day.
items: objectType=comment
items: lnxw48a1: Oh, look! Proposition 19 is also about property tax. I sense some #pollies starting to drool at the thought of more tax revenue.
items: lnxw48a1: I didn’t watch the debate. I can’t watch #pollies intentionally lying to me.
items: lnxw48a1: Glad I don't have TV. It means I don't have to watch a parade of lying #pollies at either party's convention.
items: lnxw48a1: Another one. This time it was one of the #pollies who was an #anti-masker who died of #COVID-19. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herman_Cain#COVID-19_and_death
items: lnxw48a1: Uh oh, @mangeurdenuage . In the US, at least, the person who rants against #pollies then turns around and runs for office.
items: lnxw48a1: https://nitter.net/tedcruz/status/1237067610010853378 Hmm. Ted Cruz able to allow a little humor about himself? Most #pollies aren’t like that at all.
items: lnxw48a1: I hate that the primaries and caucuses are making me have to think about politics and #pollies so many months before the election.
items: lnxw48a1: What if the true conspiracy was that there never were shape shifting #reptilian lizard people, but the #pollies wanted you to think there were?
items: lnxw48a1: @alpacaherder That they are #pollies, both individually and in groups called parties, believe they can change reality by issuing edicts.
items: lnxw48a1: @alpacaherder @johnnynull Way to guarantee they fail. Not that #pollies would ever do what they say they will anyway.
items: lnxw48a1: Speaking of #pollies http://www.snafu.priv.at/pics/other/PearlsBeforeSwine-2018.08.31.gif [priv.at]
items: lnxw48a1: The answer to your quandary is: There is no such intersection between "moral" and #pollies.
items: lnxw48a1: @alpacaherder There *may* be a bailout. A few #pollies from DC have visited and said debt relief is on the table.
items: lnxw48a1: A little better now that the event has started. Members of the Historical Society and the Chamber of Commerce are here. Waiting for local #pollies, so the speechmaking can begin.
items: lnxw48a1: @moonman Dumb move. Politically-focused marketing risks unnecessary loss of customers of opposing viewpoints. Better to stick to one's knitting and let the #pollies have their squabbles.
items: lnxw48a1: It just occurred to me that "thinking" is very close to "thin king" ... maybe that's the trouble with our #pollies.
items: lnxw48a1: @musicman Best if the #pollies stay home and pass appropriations. They'll mess up the largest domestic response in US history if they do anything else.

title: lnxw48a1: > The people moving from California are looking for lower taxes https://libranet.de/display/0b6b25a8-6463-0ce9-9044-5af574010665 Maybe some of them are. I'd guess most of them are primarily looking for lower real estate prices and shorter commutes. I know that I'm looking for: 1. More frequent face-to-face with grandkids. 2. Ability to work and live in the same area. Shorter commutes are better commutes. 3. Lower real estate prices. Tax rates are not even on my radar, as everything you get from state and local government will have to be paid for somehow. In some states, it is income tax, in others, it is property tax. Still others have a flourishing industry that can be taxed instead of burdening the citizenry. As for term limits, I cannot speak to #Michigan's limits, as I don't live there; but #California's limits are beneficial. After a few terms in Sacramento, #pollies become evilized and accustomed to that power and lifestyle. At that point, they stop representing the needs of their constituents and serve only their party and the lobbyists. (In California, they are "legislative advocates", as the state constitution forbids lobbyists.) I understand that @ahuka believes that people get better at being legislators after a few years on the job. That is likely true. But a few more years and they don't improve. They may know the system better, but they don't use that knowledge to make the state better serve its people, and that is why term limits exist. @fu

title: lnxw48a1: California's Governor Newsom makes cautious step toward meeting the state's water needs. https://nu.federati.net/url/287349 [www latimes com] It is a tiny step, but #California is never going to catch up with its demand with these baby steps. There needs to be a massive statewide effort to meet 100% of projected water requirements for the next fifty years via #desalination. That includes residential, agricultural, industrial, plus supplementing natural rainfall to preserve forests and replenish ground water, and some extra water which can be made available for neighboring states' needs. I feel like these #pollies are so busy trying not to displease entrenched interests that they are missing a historic opportunity to lead the way in responding to a 22 year drought that currently affects a giant chunk of the US from California to Kansas, Nebraska, Texas, and beyond.

title: lnxw48a1: I recall a minor !SoCal politician who had previously been a member of the US Communist Party and the US Nazi Party (not at the same time). The way I heard it, when the election came, every other candidate roasted him for his Nazi history. I'm pretty sure he came in last or close to it. #California does not allow parties to be involved in local elections (they have to be state or federal level), but multiple #pollies at the state level traveled into the area and spoke out against voting for Nazis.

title: lnxw48a1: @lxo Because of pre-existing political views, followers of certain #pollies exaggerate the impact of #COVID-19 vaccines, while minimizing the much larger incidence of long-term cardiac, circulatory, and reproductive damage (and deaths) that the virus itself causes. I don't like or trust any #polly enough to let their views influence my taking actions that protect myself and those whom I am close to, so I'm not going to swallow some "wing" 's talking points.

title: lnxw48a1: @lxo My impression (not being in a country with tax-paid healthcare) is that patients may have to wait for care, not that care is denied. That probably varies by country, but no one talks about being denied care. Disclaimer: I favor tax-paid basic care, with the possibility of insurer-paid optional / extra care. I have failed to convince US #pollies to implement this since I started communicating about it in 1993.

There are no safeguards that cannot be overridden given sufficient pressure, so that’s not something he should have promised. That said, I find it concerning that so many are passing around misinformation about the vaccines being _intentionally designed to be harmful to darker people_. This is a worldwide effort, not just some Southern #pollies teaming up with big pharma and unethical medical researchers. Unless you choose to believe powerful groups are trying to use the vaccines to wipe out all darker people everywhere, there’s nothing to support such #conspiracy_theories. Well, even if you believe that, there’s no evidence, just your beliefs.

I assume they weren't in their homes at the time, but still, it is very dangerous to have crazies sending messages by showing up at #pollies' homes. If they can't assign Secret Service, can they get USDOJ's police forces (FBI, DEA) to step in and protect leading congressionals and their families?

title: lnxw48a1: I would be a lot more open to undoing a lot of the lockdowns if the people promoting it were willing to do what is required: 1--personal responsibility: the things we're told every day ... wash hands frequently, mask up if we go out, avoid getting closer than 6 feet / 2 meters from other people; 2--corporate: restructure workplace and processes to reduce the spread of disease, allow workers that suspect themselves to be sick or COVID-exposed to take time off without penalty; 3--government: financial support for people who are off work due to #COVID-19, enforceable right to pursue class-action lawsuits against companies that violate (2) above. 4--political: get the slimy #pollies' dirty hands off of the nation's disease response and prevention process But it seems that every #anti-lockdown person I see or hear is also an #anti-masker who wants company managers to be able to force sick workers to come in anyway.

encoded: I would be a lot more open to undoing a lot of the lockdowns if the people promoting it were willing to do what is required: 1--personal responsibility: the things we're told every day ... wash hands frequently, mask up if we go out, avoid getting closer than 6 feet / 2 meters from other people; 2--corporate: restructure workplace and processes to reduce the spread of disease, allow workers that suspect themselves to be sick or COVID-exposed to take time off without penalty; 3--government: financial support for people who are off work due to #COVID-19, enforceable right to pursue class-action lawsuits against companies that violate (2) above. 4--political: get the slimy #pollies' dirty hands off of the nation's disease response and prevention process But it seems that every #anti-lockdown person I see or hear is also an #anti-masker who wants company managers to be able to force sick workers to come in anyway.

title: lnxw48a1: Tonight’s call with #sonTwo was about #politics and #pollies (politicians), or more specifically, about Watergate and the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal. That’s really cool to be able to discuss such things.

lnxw48a1: A little better now that the event has started. Members of the Historical Society and the Chamber of Commerce are here. Waiting for local #pollies, so the speechmaking can begin.

lnxw48a1: @moonman Dumb move. Politically-focused marketing risks unnecessary loss of customers of opposing viewpoints. Better to stick to one's knitting and let the #pollies have their squabbles.

title: lnxw48a1: @shpuld @lain This is taught in US schools and promoted by US #pollies. It is false, of course, but higher education institutions like the vastly expanded number of students and funding, despite the fact that college/university is supposed to be about learning to think for yourself and not about job preparation (we have trade schools for that).

title: lnxw48a1: @bob One thing that I think both the media and the #pollies forget. No one changes their minds about a candidate based on the garbage they view on Facebook. They argue against and block people whose messages are contrary to their chosen candidates. Blaming Russia and Facebook and Twitter instead of examining what voters were saying to the political leadership when they surprised everyone (me included) with the election results risks repeating those results in 2020.

title: lnxw48a1: @bob @maiyannah To some degree, it is sourced by the various advocacy groups. I had a tense e-mail conversation with a family member over a Las Vegas shooting victim that stood to greet the President. I said people should stop injecting their hypocritical political bullshit into other people's lives, and that this same family member would have been incensed had the shooting victim not stood for the former occupant of the White House. But I'm open about not liking any #Twin_Parties politician in almost 30 years. All D and R #pollies stink.

title: lnxw48a1: Such honesty and foresight! On this side of the pond, govt leaders and #pollies have known since at least the #1970s that our Social Security fund is likely to collapse, but few have been honest enough to say anything about it when people could have had decades to prepare.
