There is no way Trump would ever pick a non white person, nor would he pick a woman, well unless she was hot and he would use the promise of being VP to sleep with her.
A) it’s a very large state, nearly as large as Alaska. Originally or was going to become several states, but it being admitted to the union prior to the civil war as a slave state the leaders of the country chose to leave it as one huge state because they wanted to keep the ratio of slave and non slave states equal.
B) they used to be an independent country (like Hawaii). Nevermind the fact the only reason they asked to join the Union was that the nation of Texas was broke and couldn’t pay their bills.
C) they’re quite populous, nearly as much so as California.
Basically, when you’re second best at everything and broke af you get a chip on your shoulder.
The craze for Stanley stainless steel drinking cups reached new levels last week when a woman was arrested and accused of stealing 65 of them, worth almost $2,500, from a store in California....
The appeal is there. Imagine not having to pay any taxes or any of your bills. The idea practically sells itself to anyone who has no civics education.
This is the problem with consumerism. Most American households do live with very little savings. Even people with really high income do this. It’s culturally normal and encouraged with all the advertising to buy more stuff.
A doctor earning over $300,000 a year in the Midwest should but under any circumstances be considered the working poor simply because they don’t have any savings.
With a runup in home values sparking higher property taxes for many Georgia homeowners, there is a groundswell among state lawmakers in this election year to provide relief....
If they cap the rate the house can be assessed for at 3% growth per year, they won’t have enough money to keep the state running if the actual rate of inflation is consistently around 5%.
Generally, the state is the biggest employer in any given state. If they don’t have the money to give it raises that match the rate of inflation, the state employees have less purchasing power than they did a year ago.
Any social programs would have that same obstacle.
This is treating a symptom, and it’s going to have repercussions.
Each state taxes differently. I’m not familiar with Georgia’s specifics. I live in MN. School funding is done via property tax and supplemented with a per student amount from the state. If the property tax is capped to 3% a year, if property tax is the primary funding for schools, teacher raises would be have to be capped to 3% a year.
New developments or places with higher turnover (tax assessed value resets when the house is sold) could be able to pay significantly more for teachers than older stable neighborhoods. That excentuates the suburban flight.
It’s supposed to get hot enough to kill. You’re putting a lot of faith into a machine that doesn’t get much maintence done on it.
If my dishwasher does not heat sufficiently, it may take me years to discover that with no ill effects to me.
If a poop dishwasher is not heating correctly, it may take them many rounds of illnesses before they connect the dots. That is because they’re putting poop into the dishwasher which sprays liquefied poop onto all their dishes and flatware, but never sanitizes anything.
Tldr, don’t put poopy objects into the dishwasher.
Holup, you raise an interest point. A true sanitize cycle is heat. It gets hit enough to kill everything.
How the fuck is a plastic toilet cleaning brush surviving the level of heat sufficient to kill all bacteria?
If the original dishwasher from the past for got enough to kill bacteria, the brush couldn’t survive. Therefore, the dishwasher isn’t getting hot enough to kill bacteria. Therefore don’t put poopy plastic into your dishwasher!

Ugh, in the news here a few years ago, they showed a video of a lady jumping out of her car so she wouldn’t be in it when it slid into another car. The news anchor advised people to stay inside of your car. It’s a cage. You’re safer inside that cage than lying in the road.
My eye doctor calls them “floaters”. They’re pretty common from how the Dr talks about them. Dr says come in if there’s suddenly a spike in them. I gather that’s a sign something bad is happening with the eye.
It’s in the constitution! That sacred document that was divinely inspired. Granted it’s an amendment so it wasn’t part of Jefferson’s initial creation, but it’s been in there for 150 years.
Felony by definition means it’s punishable by at least one year in prison.
So specifically, why are we incarcerating consenting adults for having sex?
From a moral point, don’t do that. From a legal point, stay out of the bedroom.
I’ll also add context of this is a very Western belief. Natives of America prevented inbreeding by not marrying within the clan. Your first cousins could be in a different clan and therefore open for marriage.
