I cant go into detailz, but its sumthing thats suppozed to be impossible. I started on it without an initial inspiration, I just desided that I need to get a major credential to back up my boasting about doing the impossible.

I think thats the key insite. Purists will argue that the parts will eventually break, but then its just a teknikality. The univers iz effectively a perpetual motion machine, prooving that its possibl, so it bekumz a question uv how small & simpl can you make it.

I think its more likely that an uneducated schmo will figure it out kuz the peepl hoo hav gon thru the full conformity factory sycle beleev it cant be dun so wont waste their time.

Jeff Bezos and his company, Amazon, make huge profits by paying their employees wages that are so inadequate that many of them need public assistance just to get by. Today in America, thousands of Amazon workers are forced to rely on food stamps, Medicaid and public housing because they can't survive on the wages they receive. Meanwhile, Jeff Bezos is now worth $158 billion, and his wealth increases by $260 million - every single day. How absurd is that?

And who pays for the public assistance subsidizing Mr. Bezos’ wealth? You do. The middle class subsidizes the wealthiest person in the world, while his workers struggle to put food on the table. That is what the rigged economy is all about. And in my view, that has got to end.

That is why I introduced a piece of legislation that aims to end corporate welfare by establishing a 100 percent tax on corporations with 500 or more employees equal to the amount of federal benefits received by their low-wage workers.

So, if a worker at Amazon receives $1,000 in food stamps, Amazon would be taxed $1,000 to cover that cost.

I'd either get rid uv the 500+ employee stipulation or make it progressiv, like starting at 50% for 1 to 10 employeez and increasing by 5% at sum interval to be determined by practicalityz.

The law actually states that it only haz to be close enuf, but vote counterz can be less than perfectly clear on that point. Accurasy duznt hurt.

Daily Kos makes no pretens uv not being partisan, so I expect the underenthuziazm for posts that arent Dem gospel.

Herez the rule:

Complete accuracy of a write-in candidate’s name is not necessary as long as the election judges can determine a voter’s intent to select a specific write-in candidate. There should be some relationship between the appearance or sound of the name written or printed on the ballot and that of the write-in candidate’s actual name.

If there is a dispute, a majority of the election judges must agree as to the intent of the voter. If a majority agreement among the election judges cannot be reached, the write-in vote will not be counted.

So variationz such az Joe 753, JO 754, JO 357 JO sevenfivethree etc woud be counted. Stuff like Joe Numbers mite get passed on to the jujez.

OOPS! I did violate the rulez!

SITE PURPOSE
This is a site for Democrats.
That’s the fundamental premise underlying all expectations about posting, commenting, and interacting with other site users. We are here to connect, unite, work together toward a common purpose, whether it’s to elect more and better Democrats, to advocate for specific issues, or even to socialize among like-minded friends. But ultimately, we are fighting to make ours a stronger, more effective, more progressive Democratic Party. Given our clear goals, these are our only ideological prohibitions:

Advocacy for third parties or third-party candidates
Advocacy for voting against Democrats or not voting at all
Attacks on Democratic candidates based on right-wing rhetoric and frames

Its appalling how much paper iz wasted on the entire prossess.

There wuz at least 2 tunz uv posterz, postcardz, stickerz, etc. I sed 'no way you'll be able to uze it all in 4 dayz' and the campaner sed "No, I'm pretty sure we will."

You haf to figure there wuz at least 10 x az much printed and distributed over the campane period. That wuz just 1 uv her 4 offisez. So did they print & distribute 80 tunz uv this krap?

Then therez Hultgren, the incumbent GoP congressman she'z running agenst. He probably did just az much.

https://ballotpedia.org/Illinois%27_14th_Congressional_District_electi
on,_2018

Then there wuz the primary for the Demz with 6 candidates cranking out printed junk.

Its realistic to estimate that 200 tunz uv paper haz been expended on just this 1 contest.

Multiply that by the number uv offisez up for grabz in the country.

I hope I hav grossly overestimated it.

Take your outrage to the press and sue for a recount. Suggest you have a dvd with incriminating video of the winner - just, yanno, suggest it/put it out there - and see if any big fish come nibbling.

You might scare up some bonus *campaign funds* from all the guilt wracked s.o.bs for your next run.

So it's close Jo Hey, you went for it, worked hard and should be congratulated for trying to make a difference. I'm tipping my hat at ya buddy.
