I have to wonder who the hell can really be considered an āindependent voterā at this point..? Like who honestly hasnāt made up their mind one way or another by now?
Like the lawyers recently finding out it would just make up caselaw and reference cases. Weāre going to see that happen more and more as resources are cut back.
Itās been notorious for doing that from the very beginning though
It was repealed & replaced in 2015 anyway so it was only in effect for 13 years and over half of states had waivers for it by then anyway. Once again not defending the state of public education or laws passed affecting it, just making sure we all know the facts.
I donāt really look at it as how much money someone has, but rather how their money was earned. Just like in your example, if someone earns a lot of money because they have an in-demand skill like being a doctor, thatās awesome. Youāre making money off your own labor and youāre adding value to the world.
If you make your money off of something like being a landlord, Iām going to respect that less because you arenāt really adding anything to the world, that property would exist without you renting it out and itās only making you money because you had enough money (usually) to obtain it in the first place.
Thereās room for nuance, of course, and you can be poor and still have gotten what you have via unethical means. All this is a generalization. Ultimately people deserve to be judged on an individual basis.
I almost wish reputation and things of that nature werenāt publicly visible. A huge part of Reddit that I hated, the circlejerk-y opinions and same tired lame jokes being told over and over again, were caused in large part by people seeking karma (and thatās not even addressing the actual posts, just the stuff in the comments). I would hate to see that eventually start to come back.
Thereās obviously some downside to that and it probably warrants a more nuanced solution if anything.

Gay, probably.

Not to defend No Child Left Behind but it was only a 2002 law, the majority of these people are too old to have been in school since its passage.
Donāt get complacent. That was the word about Trump until he won in ā16.
Whatās your source for this? It routinely gets over 100 here and buildings arenāt 80 degrees inside.
Hopefully my local Tropical Smoothie Cafe gets one soon.
Man I thought his burgers were pretty darn good. Maybe it varies from kitchen to kitchen.
