From those around now, I'd say Dark Audit is closer to his opposite... and even he's nowhere near Invader levels of madnessThank you for not calling me his opposite.

The inconvenience has a different effect depending on the people's economic class, and all other factors correlating with it (race, party affiliation, ...), so it's seen as unfair.I live 2.5 hours away from the place I can get photo ID. EVERYBODY down here does (or more). Most US states you can drive across one of their dimensions in less time than that.
I STILL don't get the big fucking deal over needing ID to vote, even if it's inconvenient.
Trust me, where I live is close to the bottom of the economic scale for the province I live in, which has traditionally been near the bottom in terms of economics. And you DO need ID to vote here too, and have as along as I've been voting.The inconvenience has a different effect depending on the people's economic class, and all other factors correlating with it (race, party affiliation, ...), so it's seen as unfair.
If you guys had a National ID, and required that for voting, there would be no disenfranchisement argument to be made.
Last I checked, class warfare is much more politically damaging/corrosive in the United States than racial politics. Given an issue where the root cause is class-related, but where a racial correlation exists, it's much easier to fight against it from that angle.Since minorities tends to be poorer than white people, some people make the jump that anything that inconvenience is a four person more than a rich person is de facto racial discrimination.
Which Red Scare are you talking about? The 1950s one with the McCarthy hearings, or the late 1910s one with the anarchists?Or, in other words, the U.S. never got over the Red Scare, so racebaiting is the next best tool in the drawer.
I was under the impression that the name applied to both.Which Red Scare are you talking about? The 1950s one with the McCarthy hearings, or the late 1910s one with the anarchists?
It happens every few years. Only the bogeyman changes to keep up with the most profitable fearmongering. Today it's "Muslims" and "immigrants."
Took me a bit.anything that inconveniences a poor person more than a rich person is de facto racial discrimination.
That's not what they're doing though. The ones they're closing are responsible for less than 5% of drivers license transactions even when combined. The places that more than a handful of people actually go to for drivers licenses are still open.Requiring the IDs and then closing most ID-getting places in the state is bullshit.
Oh, the article made it sound like they were closing down all except in two areas.That's not what they're doing though.

I know you're being sarcastic, but my point is that I'm in a very similar situation to those in the article (no way to get government ID anywhere close to me), along with EVERYBODY who lives within hours of me, and it's just not a problem to actually go to the "big centre" that's near us once every few months. Heck, the local facebook group OFTEN has listings of "going to Corner Brook tomorrow, anybody need something and/or a ride?" So it self-regulates a lot better, and is not a disaster.I'm with @Eriol. It doesn't affect me, and so empirically it shouldn't affect anyone else, ever. That's just plain science.
That article also made it sound like the 8 closings they talked about were the majority of all the closings . . . until near the end where it mentions there were 31 total. It leaves a lot of questions about these closings unanswered. Including especially how is the "other" race or class affected by these closings?Oh, the article made it sound like they were closing down all except in two areas.
No, they'd change all copies that ever existed. What do you mean it changed? We've always been at war with EastAsia, and Eurasia is our friend!If only this was the future, they could just release a patch .
Well, I mean, my son already accesses all his textbooks online with his school loaned iPad. It IS the future.If only this was the future, they could just release a patch [emoji14].
My DM Screen is a Samsung tablet. And I have two of them I shuffle between so I can feel like I'm in Star Trek.It IS the future.
Make sure to go to the bathroom there as much as possible. It will help improve the quality of what gets produced in Alabama.I'm headed there for a week on Sat. I doubt I'll have time to make a difference, though.
