@Shell_magaUSA @OPoliticsguru My best guess as to why it's required in those circumstances is to avoid any single person getting a pile of ballots on behalf of the residents of a facility.

Counties that would send lots of residents to hospitals in the next county might want that option.

[Jayme @JaymeMaybe]

@Shell_magaUSA @OPoliticsguru I had to read it a few times, and go through some of the linked rules.

1 the shall is important - only absentee ballots previously requested by those at public and private institutions within the county require in-person delivery/collection by two employees.

[Jayme @JaymeMaybe]

@Shell_magaUSA @OPoliticsguru There might be folks who regularly reach out to various institutions and hand out absentee voter forms, just like there are get out the vote drives on college campuses?

There's definitely not "plenty" of employees available to go to individual houses and deliver/collect ballots.

[Jayme @JaymeMaybe]

@Shell_magaUSA @OPoliticsguru 2 is more "you're admitted to the hospital unexpectedly after the 7 day cut off for regular absentee ballots".

Sure, the deadline is 3pm on election day, but the ballot still has to come back on time to count.

@AltenburgBert @GeoRebekah @sb21312 Thanks, I was mostly getting Bible references when I tried to get a definition of synoptic

@Tgriff7488960 @McFaul Dismantling stuff into parts sufficiently safe is a lot of work and expensive.

For items that we'd be replacing anyway, sending the old ones to Ukraine to be used to reduce Russian military capacity... it's cheaper than the alternative.

[Jayme @JaymeMaybe]

@Tgriff7488960 @McFaul We're not using the stock up with our current level of dropping bombs.

Same goes for upgrading vehicles.

Not keeping up with this process and showing up to start a war and then discovering lots of things were unusable? Just look at how that bit Russia is the ass.

@InternetTodayTV Halfway through the discussion of truckers taking loads I assumed that the video didn't have a sponsor and went looking for a way to send a few bucks. What's the best way to do that if I don't want recurring payments?

[Jayme @JaymeMaybe]

@Tgriff7488960 @ChrisMurphyCT Pretend for a moment that progressives are trying to solve the systemic problem and not this one guy's outcome. It'll make a lot more sense.

[Jayme @JaymeMaybe]

@Tgriff7488960 @BostonStuff @ChrisMurphyCT How would increased government spending cause a disconnect between increased productivity and increased pay? (With an increasing proportion of profit going to investors rather than the people who do the actual work.)

[Jayme @JaymeMaybe]

@Tgriff7488960 @McFaul Then we spend the bulk of the aid to Ukraine's "cost" on paying American defense contractors to build the latest and greatest to replenish those supplies.

It's not completely free, but short of reducing the stockpiles we'd be spending money replacing them regardless.

[Jayme @JaymeMaybe]

@Tgriff7488960 @McFaul Not even the US has sufficient military capability to conquer the US.

But if that's what you're worried about, it's worth knowing that what we're sending as military aid to Ukraine is our oldest stockpiles. Stuff we would otherwise be spending money decommissioning.

@jared_stas70928 @BigRedCeltTT Because Hamas benefits in terms of recruiting and influence based on the indiscriminate response's ability to radicalize more Palestinians. (Or in hope of inducing neighbors to step in and send armies.)

Militants lose influence when peace breaks out.

[Jayme @JaymeMaybe]

@BigRedCeltTT Serious question: would voting for it have increased the chance of it happening?

Because I assumed that Israel would just ignore any UN resolution, so why would signing onto one (or abstaining) even slow down arms sales?

[Jayme @JaymeMaybe]

@JerrodKowalski @FermisSocks @RightWingCope Yeah, all those criminal charges based on one comment that keep happening?

@onehit42 @thetchuck @RatiosCrazy I've got some more bad news for you about who little kids are usually trafficked by...

[Step parents and parents.]

@ImAngelia @ivy_wylder @svknyc @KatiePennick If we're speaking about a specific people we can ask, or accept their correction.

@stopthespraybc @PeterGelderloos @MGSchmelzer Why do they remove the Aspen? (Asking as one of the folks who didn't think about the trees in Canada until they became a health hazard in my area.)

[Jayme @JaymeMaybe]

@Doubts_Any @BrynnTannehill Okay, that'd be super funny.
