This was the first election, since I came of voting age, that I didn’t receive a voting pamphlet that told me about all the individuals running and where my voting site was. I had to go out of my way to look up my county’s ballot measures and to find my voting location. To say I extremely upset about this, is an understatement.

At my local Walmart I regularly see people with their cart full of groceries going through the self checkout lanes. It’s immensely annoying when you only have 1 or 2 items. And it’s not like they don’t have cashiers either. There are even multiple self checkout lanes with belts and yet for some reason these people always go through the smaller self checkout lanes.

Let’s not forget the “war on drugs” as well. A lot of awful things came from the Reagan era.

As much as I would absolutely love us shifting from fossil fuels, it also needs to be practical. Suddenly increasing the price of gas doesn’t work for rural areas like the one I live in where your car is immensely important to you being able to get to the store or your job and we’re not in areas that public transport would be considered due to how small and spread out the towns are. And a lot of us don’t have the option to move closer to the cities and the transit opportunities either due to our jobs or just the cost of living required for the city versus our rural homes. We NEED to start working on infrastructure that doesn’t only have large cities in mind, but also us on the outskirts of the city or the rural communities will become even poorer than they are now when they have to pay a small fortune just to travel to the store or their jobs.

Another downside with smaller companies is there not always room for you to grow or move up.

When I made the switch I was shocked at well it blocks ads. It still surprises me to this day. Yeah, it takes a little longer to load, but I couldn’t care less.

Omfg you’re here! I’m so fucking excited now! I would always read through your such well written and referenced comments!!! This is such an exciting moment!
