@bg_josh@jenny2x4 Alas, I am a man not a machine. I just want to understand what they might be doing that leads to a large fee. And at the risk of going off topic, what makes you think I'm a white supremacist? I'm not.
@RichardArion1@pugnochet I think the idea to pass a law regulating the franchise to net positive tax payers fits your boomer hypothesis pretty well. Once the boomers die, what's to stop us from electing some politicians with the balls to do it? Do you think the bureaucracy and the GOP would prevent this?
@Mrbob_dobolina@mattforney@CovfefeAnon I just went down a little rabbit hole and it seems Georgia still banishes people from certain counties (all within the state so not federal). Usually drug dealers to stop access to their network.
@johmag67@RevivedThoughts I had a 22 hour layover in Istanbul. Took a city bus to the historic center and booked a hotel. I made friends with the workers in the blue mosque and they let me visit the Hagia Sofia as an infidel. Slept, went to the Turkish baths that morning, and bus to the airport. Counts?
