My wife would just sell my data.

Salesmen at a local car dealership would super glue quarters to the parking lot. The porters and/or customers would always try to pick them up, and it brought us so much joy to watch.

The beautiful thing is, the Forward Party would endorse a candidate who ran with the same core values and beliefs. Whether that's a Democrat, Republican, Green, Libertarian, Reform, independent, etc.

Time to abandon both parties and look forward!

A shameless plug, I know, but I'm so sick of people arguing about which side is better, while actively doing nothing but fueling hate and divide. You realize they (gov & media) monitor online activity and push bots and ads to perpetuate this stuff to keep us preoccupied vs taking action.

If you hate them (current cabinet) despite which side you lean towards, it's time to take their power by taking their votes!

Likewise, stop spewing hate or disdain towards one another because that's exactly what keeps the problem around.

The other things politicians do, like in Illinois, is introduce one bill, and his other things within it to get things passed outside the normal channels. Like when Pritzker up and banned 170+specific firearms, ammo limitations, threaded barrels, and then started a registration process. Also repealed knowingly spreading HIV illegal, so anyone (by the sound of it-haven't looked into it much) can sleep with a new partner without disclosing HIV status. I'm assuming that's to appeal somehow to the LGBTQ community since the bulk of voters are the Chicago area, but some time he purely for just in time for elections.

You might think the firearms thing is OK as it helps cut down on crime. Nope, instead, there's cashless bail and softer policies towards criminals. We can't even accurately report those numbers based on how crimes or incidents are categorized. It's a mess.

He also just made it so that a bulk of the DOT funds go to Chicago roads with little left over for the remainder of the state... The tolls collected by the Chicago area are supposed to help that, but nooo, just keep reallocating funds around election time. Sure.

Ohhh trust me I know it's all about surveillance. I'm just meaning they're going to negatively impact everyone everywhere without a second thought because they'll get what they want in the end. Either more money or more reelections

Ohhh, well... Yikes. I think they hop on board without truly understanding what they're signing up for. OR worse yet, they understand and are OK with it.

My other biggest gripe: what happens to business computer users at the office? What about their admins? How much extra work is this going to create???

But you KNOW the masses will comply because they're told so. They don't want to break the law...

Please explain who this is! At the federal or state level? I don't know enough

And so the need to be kept important (or relevant) continues
