@MelissainJax one of the untold stories of COVID is that everyone doesnt fully recover right away. There are reports of numerous long term health issues from those after beating the virus. There is a lot we dont know #covid#npr#news#florida
@etlipman @fairvote I couldn’t agree more, I feel our entire political system is failing and needs correction at many points. Ranked choice would be great, doing away with electoral college, voting on Saturdays, automatic voter registration. So many changes needed. #Election2020
@MelissainJax Biden’s VP pick will be critical to bringing in more support especially from younger, diverse, and progressive voters. Don’t make the same mistake Hillary did and pick someone to sure up the white moderate vote. #Elections2020#npr#news
@MelissainJax@FloridaRoundup lets stop being scared of socialism. American public schools, law enforcement, police, libraries are all socialist institutions we love. There are bad socialist countries just like there are bad capitalist ones. #npr#floridapolitics#news
@MelissainJax i feel like the GA space port is their version of dreding the St Johns. The only ones that want the project are the small number of people who will profit hugely despite the public cost and risk. #npr#news#florida
@MelissainJax unlike current cell towers which can cover miles 5G towers have to be everywhere because the signal is relatively weak, these things will everywhere and signals very powerful #npr#science#news
@MelissainJax did the facility that accepted the child for a baker act hold not have an obligation to inform the parent or get their consent, isn’t it kidnapping to hold a minor against a parent’s will? #npr#news#jax
@MelissainJax i dont think most people it can take decades for someone to become a citizen, years of waiting to get in and even longer one they’re here to get a green card. The entire system needs to be overhauled and made speedy #jax#news#npr
@MelissainJax someone or org in Jax should call for an independent review of JEA and identify other potential risks or ways it might be used for personal gains vs the public good #jea#news#npr
@MelissainJax the voter registration process involves cross referencing states and other background information to confirm the identity of people and where they can vote, thats why additional voter ID laws are generally unnecessary. #npr#news#jax#politics
@MelissainJax the Millions that would be spent to finish dredging would be better spent on schools, development of public spaces, or for social programs. Funny how Jax can always find money for pet projects but not the things that help people. #npr#news#jax
@MelissainJax the City of Jax is still on the hook for money to finish dredging, how many millions is it? Shipping it not the major engine it’s being sold as this needs a much harder look. #npr#jax#news
@MelissainJax there are deeper problems with our entire food supply chain thats killing stores and restaurants the profit margin on food is so thin, we waste so much, and the cost of food just keeps going up. Something needs to disrupt food on the supply end #jax#npr#business
@MelissainJax we should stop drawing arbitrary boxes around what people need which education we need philosophers that can weld and welders that know philosophy, our entire school system needs to be reworked to include vocational skills #npr#jax#fl
