Just hire the best person for the job, regardless of skin color.

Good thing there’s absolutely no evidence of racism when it comes to hiring people, am I right?

But do tell me you think a resume by a woman named LaShonda has a chance of being taken as seriously by a white HR manager than a resume by a woman named Mary often enough for this to not be a problem.

“Anti-DEI” is the first step down the road back to “no coloreds.”

You cannot register a car in New York without living there to avoid paying sales tax in the state you live in. Most states require you to pay sales tax based on your residency and where the vehicle will be primarily used.

Fine. Do it in indiana. We don’t here. I don’t need to try to find loopholes when A) they already exist and B) lawmakers are upset about it and are trying to close them.

Considering this was verbal assault, it should have.

You do know that ‘assault’ isn’t just a legal term, right?

You can keep registering it in Mexico or you can register the car in a state that doesn’t require residency like New York or Indiana.

So, again, unless you expect Washington to put up border check stations, I’m not sure how they can make people pay this tax.

And only then because of an HBO superhero show.

If you just enter the state with the car? I’m not sure what you’re suggesting. Are Mexicans who drive their car from Mexico City to Seattle expected to pay this 300% tax? Are they going to check the citizenship of every driver?

How is making someone pay sales tax stopping them from buying a car in Mexico? Unless they’re going to stop all Mexican cars at the Washington border…

You expect others to canvas on your behalf? Campaigns are made up of people willing to go out and do things on behalf of the candidate. You wanted to know why not someone other than Biden wasn’t the nominee. The answer is because I didn’t canvas for anyone else and neither did you and neither did almost anyone else.

Blaming everyone but yourself when you were just as complicit is just an excuse to get out of doing it the next time. If there’s going to be a next time.

And before you point fingers at me, remember I’m not the one complaining about it.

Even the fascists loved art in the 1930s and 1940s. They just used it for their own ends. Goebbels knew how vital art was all too well.

These fascists are too stupid to understand that they could actually use public arts funding that way thankfully. This might be a better result in some ways.

Oh that’s different! Those are much more pure and done by good Christians.

Who did you canvas for as an alternative? Anyone?

That would be your answer.

Edit: Interesting thing to get downvoted for- asking who someone canvassed for. Do you downvoters not know how political campaigns are supposed to work?

I’m not even convinced that would work. I would love to see some polling though.

I also doubt she’d be willing to do it. She’s already spent eight years in D.C. working behind the scenes.

That’s why you go with a credit union and not a bank. (When I said ‘bank account,’ it was a general term that people assume includes credit unions most of the time.) The overdraft “fee” on my checking account is “keep some money in your savings account to cover it.”

I agree, U.S. banks are insanely predatory. But there is a perfectly good alternative that many people simply don’t look into taking. Sometimes being a credit union member requires you to be affiliated with an institution (I got my account while working for a university), that isn’t always necessary.

There was literally an article about this being predicted to happen soon in this community a few days ago:

Apparently, the people who actually make the laws aren’t as sure about this as you are.

Possibly.

I have tried multiple brands of glow-in-the-dark paint for Halloween things and I have always been disappointed, so if you know a brand that works, please tell me about it. Because everything I’ve used does not glow as much as, say, a glow-in-the-dark shirt.

FWIW, the archive.is link did not have those.

You may hear that, but I’m not seeing a lot of people in the grocery lines being told their accounts are unexpectedly empty.

Yes, but this person wants to complain about mask mandates and lockdowns and they can’t possibly do something like create their own thread to complain about those things, so can you blame them for going completely off-topic?
