I am quite sure. I was out with a friend and he got fined for not carrying ID. The legal requirement starts at 16.

Both true and not true.

The idea that you have to register to vote is not normal in most democracies.

For example, in the Netherlands you have to carry ID at all times, whether you are voting or just going for a walk. You don’t have to register to vote, you just get mail a while before the election with a paper that you take to the voting booth, which is usually a few minutes walk away.

Such a system prevents fraud (which is already a non-issue in the USA, even with its confusing and difficult system), and also makes it easy for as many people to vote.

The goal of voter ID laws is to provide ways to disenfranchise people, by making things slightly harder and create plausible points to not count some ballots.

Not only, since TERFs exist.

Forgotten as usual. 😉

Debt is not a force of nature. Money is owed to someone.

In the Netherlands we have wooncorporatie, which are non-profit home rental companies. I think it’s a reasonable model, although the center right government tried to get rid of them for years. (Now we have a coalition of far-right parties in power, and they don’t even have anything like a consistent ideology much less policy so who can know what the future brings?)

In spite of their persecution complex, Christianity is the largest religion by population worldwide and in many countries. Understanding the way they think can be useful in dealing with them.

In the eternal words of Bob Marley:

Some people think

Great God will come from the sky

Take away everything

And make everybody feel high

But if you know what life is worth

You will look for yours on earth

And now we see the light

We’re going to stand up for our right
