Ok, I've voted in every federal, state, and local election since I turned 18, but my state is heavily jerrymandered. What now?
My SO and I live in a 4 bedroom house with 4 other adults in their 30's. I haven't had this many roommates since I was 17, but I'm finally making some progress on my ridiculous medical debt. Best country in the world.
Livenation was founded in the mid-late 90's, but didn't hold significant power in the live music industry until the mid-2000's. Before that, a pricey ticket for a national act was anything over $25. When I started my career in live production, in 2010, many venues were still putting on local/national act shows for $5 - $20 a ticket. Since then, I've seen ticket prices for the same type of shows double, in non-LN venues, and triple or more in LN venues. Same thing for drink/concession prices. If you were a teen/young adult in the 90's you likely had better access to affordable concerts than people these days.
The ability to control the way I interact with a group setting/function is one of the many reasons I love online gaming. I've been a part of some really great communities that regularly hold a variety of online events, and it's such a great way to participate for people on the spectrum. Jump in and out whenever you want, mask/unmask however you want, sit and listen to the group without ever speaking if you want. No one will think twice about it. Plus, you have the added benefit of hanging with nerds from around the world that tend to be interesting people. Can't really recommend it enough.
That definitely wouldn't feed into christian's persecution complex..
Most millennial's don't remember anything else either. What we had were parents that still believed in the "American dream" but weren't living it themselves and a generation before us that saw the writing on the wall, but eventually checked out of the fight. Now Gen Z and A have a generation to look to that is still fighting, but has lost steam because we're too bogged down with surviving while raising kids or working ourselves to death. We're exhausted, and on our last leg, so we're all pretty much counting on the younger generations (who have less to risk/lose) to pickup that torch. Thankfully, younger generations are realizing that voting only gets us so far, and mass civil disobedience is a far more affective strategy for real systemic change.
I'm super impressed with our young people and I'm with y'all 100% of the way!
The problem is Texas has some of the most egregious gerrymandering/voter suppression in the country.
I love circular connectors that screw onto the receptacle or have locking tabs
You're welcome. ;)
That notion is hilarious to me as a Texan that used to travel up and down the west coast regularly for work. I've been to many areas of California that are just as red as any rural areas in Texas. It's exactly the same as every other state(I've been to 48 of the 50 at least several times each state). Rural areas tend to be skewed red, urban tends to be skewed blue. I guess the simplicity of that is hard to see if all the online content you consume is propaganda..

That's pretty risky.. As someone who works in many venues (touring live production), I wouldn't want to throw venue security into the line of fire like that. No venue security crew is equipped to deal with mobs with molotovs...
