Soap Box, Jury Box, Cartridge Box.

I believe this will be resolved by "clever argument before a judge". If it is not, the Constitution provides for no further remedy.

If it is not resolved by a judge, the Declaration of Independence becomes legal precedent.

The court can order the conveyance of the defendant's property to the plaintiff, even when the defendant is the federal government.

Trump won't be in office forever. They might have to wait 44 months to collect.

but the primary statistical determinant is how congress criters themselves personally feel about a law.

The right congress critters will personally feel about these issues the same way we do. We can't get the right congress critters elected by talking about elections and parties and the issues they want to talk about. We need to keep the correct issues front and center. Force the candidates to either come to us, or lose to those who will.

This is how the Tea Party took over the GOP. It's how the Guillotine Party will take over the Democrats.

I keep seeing this "second lowest" claim.

I haven't done much research on the subject, but I've yet to find the lowest.

What does "bankrupt" mean here? The only kind of bankruptcy I'm aware of is where the individual declares it, and it basically means the creditors are compelled to accept the court's resolution of the debt.

I've never heard of the idea of the government making such a declaration. What are the consequences of such a declaration?

What you said sounds great, but how do you plan on getting it without “elections and parties”?

What I said was:

If we're talking about elections and parties, we've already lost;

There is currently no party that represents us. Our ideas are not on the ballot. If we are talking about elections and parties today, we are talking about the same bastards who put us where we are today. If we are talking about elections, we have already lost.

We need to be talking about ideas. The central theme is that there is no place for economic vampires in American society.

  • Billionaires need to be taxed out of existence or otherwise removed from society. It isn't their wealth that is the problem: if they want to purchase a billion dollars worth of mansions and yachts and private jets, they are going to pay a billion dollars to carpenters and shipbuilders and aviation workers. But they aren't doing that. Instead, they are buying stocks of homebuilders and shipyards and plane factories, and raking off profits that could be going to the workers.

  • Businesses should benefit society in general: a business whose workers are living below the poverty level is a business that should not exist.

  • Rank-and-file workers should be receiving stock along with their regular pay; they should be gaining ownership interest in the company they work for.

  • True, universal healthcare. Show up at any medical facility in the country, and the bill gets paid by the Department of Universal Healthcare. Medicare should not be the standard we expect. Tricare - the 100% healthcare plan provided to servicemen and their dependents - should be our model.

Things like these are the plan.

"Won't someone think of the children?"

NO.

If we're talking about elections and parties, we've already lost; we need to be talking about the the line between aspirational wealth (<$10 million) and society-crippling wealth (>$100 million) and how to keep the former from becoming the latter.

The broad strokes need to be a tax structure that is overtly hostile to anyone worth more than $100 million, which is well beyond an obscene amount of ~~money~~ stolen wages as it is.

91% tax rates. Wealth taxes. Securities taxes. Antitrust actions against their businesses. Minimum wage that scales with business size: Walmart, Amazon, and other large employers significant should be forced to pay a much higher minimum wage than small businesses, to counteract their outsized influence and control of the labor market.

It's time to stop protesting, and time to start doing.

Its not insurmountably difficult to replace screens on most phones.

 

I do steady, part time work as a blacksmith, because I love it.

I also work for a hot air balloon ride company, again, because I love it. But, the balloon business is seasonal and weather dependent. We fly about 8 months out of the year, and about half our scheduled flights are canceled due to weather.

I'm looking for one more hobby/gig to do in the off-season or when it's just not flyable.

Something more interesting than DoorDash... I really don't want to go back to that.

Z59.71 is a medical diagnostic code for "Insufficient health insurance coverage".

It's a diagnosis that should never have existed.

 

That David wrapped around his neck before pleasing himself and meeting his Lord.

 

The Outrageous: Homeowner Lannie Fentress was beaten and arrested for trying to put out a fire in his own home.

The Interesting: A special grand jury assembled to investigate the charges refused to indict Mr. Fentress.

The Amusing: That same grand jury turned around and indicted Police Sgt. DJ Newton, the arresting officer.

Gripe #1: From inbox, replying directly to a comment, I get the error "Could not determine post to comment to". I don't have this problem when I am viewing a comment in a post's, thread, only when viewing it from the inbox.

Gripe #2: Tapping the comment in the inbox takes me to the comment thread for the post, but does not take me to the specific comment within that thread. In a long thread, I can't always find the specific comment I am trying to reply to.

Edit: version 0.2.4

Edit2: Gripe #3: haven't figured out how to edit posts within Thunder; had to switch to Connect to make these edits...

 

I am getting this error pretty regularly. I'll see a message in my inbox, and when I tap through to view it in context, it's missing. Can't find a cause or a workaround.
