If you don't pay off your monthly credit card statement in full you will have to pay 25% interest until its paid off, not fun. So instead as a fail safe, I created 2 cashapp accounts, 1 attacked to my checking account for my bank, and 1 attached to my credit card.

The only part of the constitution that requires unanimous consent to repeal is the US senate, the states give up power to the federal government not the otherway around. There is no functional difference between a unicameral legislature and bicameral legislature that is elected in the same way.

If the constitution is amended and it goes against a state constitution then the state constitution automatically changes as its inferior to the national constitution.

75% of States would have to approve the amendment. Most of the constitutions don't have the type of election system in them. Switching to only one chamber would be the biggest change but most are redundant

If they do this we'll be in a whole new territory of fucked. Returning political opponents to pass a political bill to subvert the fairness of an election for the presidents agenda.

Preamble We are in the midst of a Gerrymandering war, and it seems to me that the simple solution would be to switch from FPTP to Proportional. Current politicians should want it because they wouldn't have to survive primaries anymore and be able to keep their seats in the party or be influential in the new party structure. Citizens should want it because it would break apart the 2 party system, make every vote count, and finally make us represented.

The Amendment

Section 1- The legislatures of the several states shall be unicameral and elected therein by a system of proportionality where the number of seats a political party gets in the legislature is equal to the proportional share of the votes. All local councils wherein the total number of residents is greater than or equal to One-Hundred-Thousand, or where the number of elected legislative officials is equal to or greater to Twenty-Five shall also be required to have proportional elections.

Section 2- The election of the House of Representatives in the United States federal government shall no longer have seats be apportioned to each state on account of population, the house will henceforth be starting during the next election be elected via a single vote where eligible voters will vote for a party and the parties will get the total number of seats proportional to the total number of votes received. The total number of seats for the house will be set at One-Thousand.

Section 3- Each of the state legislatures shall hold an election amongst themselves where members of the state legislature who are Thirty years of age or older may put their name in contention for election to the senate, each member of the state legislature will then cast a ballot where they rank each candidate from most to least preferred, if no person wins a majority of first preference votes then the candidate with the least number of first preference votes will be out of the running and the second preference of their votes will be added to the total, so on and so forth until one candidate reaches a majority. In the event of deadlock the Governor of the state will break the tie.

Section 4- Each state shall be required to register every citizen over the age of 18 to vote automatically and shall provide free of charge a voter identification card is identification is required to vote by state law, and no person shall be removed from the voter rolls unless proof of death, change in residency or revocation of citizenship.

Just because you can apply doesn't mean you'll actually get a half-decent job, especially if you need to stay local to take advantage of your parents' free room and board.

If you can show that you took a deliberate action to get your GED because you felt that 2 years of work experience, getting yourself a financial safety net and understood that they are the same, you prove to be more valuable than the person who decided to stay in school has little to no work experience and is worse off.

Companies like candidates who show they're smart, also if it became the norm then no problem either way.

Are you saying that a 16yo will be able to defend their legal rights against their parents? They might do it voluntarily if they agree with your view and are nice ("they are nice" might be the more important part here), but if they don't, you either have to go along with them or you'll significantly damage your relationship with your parents, which is kind of a bad idea even just from an economic perspective.

I get that the parents can make it hard and it can strain the relationship but any good parent would support the move.

Today in America the GED and Diploma are literally of equal value, you can apply to any job that doesn't require a college degree with just a GED including Government Jobs.

The optimal strategy therefor is simply to drop out after the 10th grade, complete the training in person or online and then take the test and take advantage of living with your parents.

They can't charge you rent, can't force you to buy your own food, they legally can not punish you financially in any way so find a job save up every penny in an interest earning checking account.

You'll earn between $31,200 AND $91,520 depending on the minimum wage. Not including tips above the minimum.

Once turning 18 you can either

a. Go to the local community college finish your general education

b. Stay with the same business and get an apartment

or

c. Apply to better paying job with your 2 years of experience.

11th and 12th grade are pointless because you 100% have already leaned all you need to and they give you no advantage for finishing.

TIL that I must share with yall.

If you go to google docs, then Tools > Preferences > Substitutes you can add one at time a shortcut.

For example if you want to type other currencies other than the dollar you can put UK$ = £ to always get £ or EU$ = € to always get €

Once you find it it's hard to stop, and can make things SO easy,

Also Tools > Preferences allows you to turn off things like auto capitalize for new lines.

Disclaimer I'm not white nor do I agree with their ideology

Here is the reason why, they are actively taking themselves out of society and creating their own commune, so why the fuck would we want to stop all the anti democracy white supremacists from leaving society and forming their own?

I genuinly think it would be better for the country as a whole for them to be left alone and self sufficient as long as they aren't using public utilities and infrasture and aren't imposing themselves on others let them have their White Christian Nationalist settlement away from the rest of US.

Literally the trash taking its self out.

When you are creating your resume, you don't need to put every random job you've ever had. What companies do is they look at your jobs on the resume, and at most call the employer and ask them if you worked for them and how you did at the job.

There is no way for a non government employee to know if you worked other jobs. Keep off any jobs that you worked at for less than 2 years and use every skill you learned as a skill for your resume.

Nothing hurts your resume more than having 3 or 4 jobs in a span of 2 years because it shows you are unreliable.

Back story For those of you unaware, Long Island Auditor is a "First Amendment Frauditor" who goes around to different government institutions mostly Police and Sheriff departments and tries to act suspicious and cause a scene then when confronted claim "I'm an independent journalist exercising m7 first amendment rights"

Months prior to the incident he got into an altercation with a Connecticut state trooper, which is important information.

Incident On July 11th Long Island Auditor decided to find and go to that specific Troopers house and "ask him questions about overtime" when he arrives, the Trooper opens the door and yells at him to get the fuck off his property.

He starts slowly walking backwards still recording when the trooper goes back in to grab his firearm and gets in his face yelling at him to never step foot on his property again (reminder this clown lives in NYC and made a 3 state trip to go bother the trooper) then as Long Island Audit keeps running his mouth the trooper bumps him and spits in his face.

Then the Frauditor keeps crying about it and pretending like he didn't just go to this troopers house with the sole intention of harassing him.

The local police arrive and he starts trying to get the trooper arrested. He instead is the one arrested with his camera man and they spend 5-6 hours in jail charged with voyeurism, breaching the peace and criminal tresspass. Which requires you to have a "license" to enter a place that isn't open to the public which obviously when you get into a fight with someone it means they aren't going to welcome you to their home as a stranger.

Current events

He's made several videos trying to get the Trooper charged, asking for GoFundMe legal fees and crying about the fact that he now faces real jail time. He had to pay a combined 125K dollars in bail money.

In closing People who try to make a living off of lawsuits by going around instigating people and harassing people deserve whatever consequences come their way. The Auditor community is 99% frauds just looking to get rich off of your tax payer money.

Statehood & Autonomy Fight to get congress to vote to make the city council fully independent from congress without the ability to override laws or the budget.

Proportional Representation Change the voting system to proportional where the percentage of the vote = percentage of seats. Also up the number of seats to 50.

Labor rights Create a labor court where you can challenge getting fired without cause and if you win they have to reinstate you and pay 1.5X of the missed time.

Minimum of 10 days PTO per year.

Employees have a right to not be disturbed outside of work. If the employer wants to talk they must pay them a minimum of 1 hour per phone call or task.

Employees must be given consistent hours, and schedule any change without the consent are grounds for mandatory severance pay.

Require rules be enforced equally against everyone or it is unlawful termination. Logs must be kept of every disciplinary action to prove if they go to court.

Modernize and put things online -Make the DC websites easier to use -Move 90% of the DMV online and let them print IDs in office.

Enforcing fines Make it policy to tow and impound all cars with over 1K in fines. Have a special MPD and Metro Transit police task force to go after and arrest anyone with over 1K in unpaid fines. Bring them to court, they will have their vehicle held for a month if they don't pay the vehicle will be sold, if its not enough they will be held in contempt in jail until its paid by someone or until 1 year has passed.

House the homeless Create more homeless housing so we can get them off the street.

Enforcement and prevention of gate hopping Put an automatic siren that goes off if 2 people go though the same gate. 10 foot barriers with spikes

That's all really because this city is hands down the best place I've lived in the country
