Yeah I’m sure you’re getting a lot of creative productive thoughts out of an engineering that is probably too tired to remember their own name. Ridiculous working practices.

Ooft that hits

Like just feed the kid - they aren’t sacking you for it if you don’t tell anyone

Shouldn’t the people most impacted by school boards, who absolutely have the capacity to understand what school board members are doing, have a say in who those members are?

Yeah sure, but you can take that argument further, why not a 13 year old, why not a 12 year old etc.. at some point you have to make a call on the maturity of a child in their ability to be decision makers who can make a sensible decision. As an alternative, I think youth councils who can feed into decision making in a real way (not a patronising toothless way) are a very good thing to feedback into the decision making system.

To turn your argument the other way though, should 85 year olds who are the most likely to be in receipt of social care and health care not have a say in how society provisions it? Additionally many old people are in work and paying taxes, surely they should get a say?

I don’t think 16 is a stupid age at all. Definitely a good argument to be made for that. Same with anyone paying taxes from their pay. In the uk that would be 16 - I can’t speak for the USA.

To be honest I wouldn’t trust either.

I don’t think as a 14 year old I had the nuanced experience of the world that I would want to be voting. No experience of life. No context. Just not had enough time to come to a considered conclusion.

At the other end of the scale I don’t think I’d trust most 75 year olds to set up an internet contract, let alone decide the future of a nation when they have no skin in the game. I think below 18 you’re probably still a kid. But if you’re old enough join the army and die for your country that seems like as good place as any to say you’re old enough to have a say on the country.

So I’d say votes from age 18-70.

About to say the same thing, Dianne Feinstein’s primary campaign outspent everyone else’s so had the most impressions plus the name recognition of being a senator for approx 300years means a lot of people knew of her.

It’d be like if the ground crew of the Challenger space shuttle waited until after the launch to say they were massively overworked and (not) functioning on just 2 hours of sleep trying to rush to hit the launch schedule.

Oh wait… that’s exactly what happened and Challenger blew up seconds after launch due to an issue that was known about by many people but was swept away under the rug to not affect the deadline. No parallels to be seen here at all.

Yeah it takes a while for the hate for your fellow man to accumulate over time within democrats to get them to the point when they hate humanity enough to run the democratic platform.

I would probably swap “don’t collect taxes” for “don’t produce goods” with a picture of a factory worker. Better fits the messages. Unless you mean “don’t pay taxes” - which would be true too and perhaps more persuasive.

The Swiss German layout looks fairly reasonable in a vacuum. The ä key having 5 letter options on it is pretty wild though. The Swiss French layout is maybe better than standard French too - it’s certainly got more sensible punctuation.

This is cool and good and all, but also… yeah I should hope so! Installed capacity is going up not down and the conditions were historically favourable, so of course generation was good.
