Name three things you'd like the new US government to do.

1. Ban religion.
2. Begin issuing guaranteed income.
3. Insure every citizen with affordable/free healthcare including legalizing recreational pot.

I can't agree with banning religion but i am guessing you've made a topic just about that so i will see you there when i get a chance.

well yes, long story short. i've been recieving brash berating for some time in the past.. but lately i've gained some support from the good guys at work, things appear neutral.. thing is this makes it difficult being a new hire. first if they're not sure what they're getting into .. and hire me, they find themselves in alot of regret.. until they finally understand the way and how to work with me. its not at all giving me an easy way out.. but a form of communication. and yes it takes alot of patience.

the kind of work i do has spurts of moments where they're in a hurry and everything is rush rush rush.. and i miss out when they jumble mumble quip at everything when they come yelling at me like i just TOLD YOU A WHILE AGO!!

sorry bub.. but im hard of hearing so if your're gonna be a sasshole lets just say it was your damn fault for not acknowledging my D/A dummy!

i dunno if this qualifies as harrassment. its more like qualifies for ignorance of my needs and treating me like im a regular.

its ok now.. with that said.. it aint easy finding a newer - friendlier - better paying job. So yea a sort of qualified affirmitive action would likely be great help.. being hired for my skills not race/color/disability etc..

That's definitely something not enough people talk about in conversations about affirmative action in general. At least not in the news sources I go to.

sorry i only got one pointer on my mind.. more support for ADA act

closed-caption, braille, ramps and HC parking space requirements arent cutting it for people like me.. im hard of hearing, but my biggest concern is fair opportunity for qualified work. People discriminate because they fear how they will handle someone like me, so i don't get hired.

i was lucky enough to work with this one person in the past who left for another job.. who vouched for me when i was looking for another job later on. now they know how much of a quality employee I can be.

i just wish they wouldn't stress me out with their barging ways

I'm curious, specifically what sort of changes would you like to see?

For example, do you think a type of affirmative action would be useful? Or is workplace harassment an issue?

It's not a type of issue I'm usually exposed to so I don't know much about it.

I suppose I should start off.

1. A national, efficient, well functioning healthcare system would be nice.
2. Massive green energy investment, like solar panel farms and wind turbines.
3. National laws concerning the prohibition of specific police tactics (like chokeholds) and better training for police officers. As well as investment in a civilian division of the police that would answer calls that do not require officers with guns.

I hope those things because I think that is what most people who voted for the incoming President want. I think it is important for government officials to respect the mandate that brought them to power.

Something I think most Americans can agree on is the legalization of cannabis. At least in terms of revoking any national laws against it. It could easily be a state issue, yes?

Election Update and Plea

NacthoMan wrote:

quite true.. these are different times..

Actually another take that I just heard which makes sense to me is that the only reason why the race hasn't been called for Biden yet is because of Trump.

PA is the state that makes it kinda of a done deal. Trump is currently "ahead" but the remaining counties to be counted are so proportionately Democrat it's basically impossible that Biden won't make up the ground he needs to win.

But it's the last state. And Trump has an (illusory) lead.

And the President is saying that the votes are fraudulent.

If it was called now, while Trump was still ahead, there would be a backlash saying that the media was trying to steal the election, and it's likely the so-called President would stoke that backlash as much as he could. So they have to play games.

im appreciating your shared information.. but u know .. i sorta lost interest after i found out they're gonna drag this on.. till its officially official

It's not so much intentional "Dragging on" as much as a natural part of the process because many states have laws against counting mail-in or early vote ballots before Election Day.
