Never have I ever drank alcohol illegally or underage.

One of the problems these monsters have been having with carrying out executions is that they can't get pharma companies to sell them the drugs they use and they can't find actual healthcare professionals to perform the act. That's why there's been a few cases recently of having to cancel or postpone an execution because they couldn't get the damn IV line in.

Wisconsin doesn't have a bar exam if that makes any difference to you. And there's cities in Wisconsin like Hudson that are on the border/river across from Minnesota.

Which is why, in many cases, there should be liability assigned. If a self-driving car kills someone, the programming of the car is at least partially to blame, and the company that made it should be liable for the wrongful death suit, and probably for criminal charges as well. Citizens United already determined that corporations are people....now we just need to put a corporation in prison for their crimes.

I was raised UU! It's a great sex ed and relationship health program that addresses all aspects of relationships, sex-related or not. I highly recommend checking out your local Unitarian Universalist church/congregation if you have one nearby. They're pretty cool folks.

As an absurdly fervent Tolkien fan, people bringing up the Eagles spikes my blood pressure in a way that cannot be good in the long run.

The article specifically describes the housing options that are single-occupant with doors that lock and accommodation for pets. They are also working on solutions for couples to help keep them together where possible. It's not ideal, and it's not a permanent fix, but they interviewed someone that's staying in the safe, clean, cabins while attending a 2 year college program to get a better paying job.

There is definitely more that the state could be doing as a whole, but they are investing a lot of money into programs and housing with free or heavily subsidized rent to help people get back on their feet. The article specifically mentioned a model where "rent" costs 30% of the resident's income and the rest is covered by a rental assistance program.

The restrictions on nuclear fuel recycling might be lifted soon, so that argument may very well become moot as well.

There is talk about lifting the restrictions on fuel recycling, so that problem (which isn't as big an issue as folks make it out to be) has the potential to be solved.

Well, JD Vance thinks grandma and grandpa should be the solution to childcare, but that only works if they aren't actively dying and need to be cared for themselves. I'm pretty sure the GOP also thinks that daughters-in-law and granddaughters should be doing the elder care for free as well, so I don't really know how they expect that all to work.

(It's not supposed to work. People are supposed to make rich people richer and then die, according to the GOP)

Once I'm in residency, I will become very well acquainted with grant writers and social workers.

It's still good to know there's other folks out there with a good head on their shoulders that are working towards a common goal. :)
