Yup. got mine but some bar association reports are not updated yet along with stuff on the water reclamation district so I still have half of it to fill out. mail ballets are the bomb.
What! Can’t leave the bed! How will your employer survive if you don’t return to the office 1.5hrs away and collaborate 5 days a week?
I’m mute, deaf, mostly paralysed and have strict cognitive limitations. I can’t work.
I can’t work.
And you (and everyone else) shouldn’t HAVE to. There’s enough automation and technology to make it so that nearly all of society’s needs could be met with a handful of hours of work from people who are able and driven to do so.
I hope you are able to engage in creative or other activities that bring you joy and fulfillment, despite your limitations. If you are not, due to lack of assistive device or other means, please communicate it. There are communities here and a lot of users like myself that would be happy to try to help.
Agreed but that’s beside the point. I’m able to spend maybe 15-30 minutes a day on my phone. And apart from that I spend the rest of the day tubefed and unable to open my eyes.
If I “HAD” to work, I wouldn’t “force myself” because I cannot, I would die of starvation or whatever comes first when I run out of money.
I really miss the Voter Handbook with all the information I could need about laws or propositions, the candidates in the ballot, where and how to register, and I think where to vote.
The full text of laws and props are present along with calculated 10 year cost, and a statement from proponents and a rebuttal to that statement from opponents, and a statement from opponents accompanied by proponents’ rebuttal. For candidates, they submit statements which are usually a brief biography and things they say they support and oppose, why they’re running, and whatever else they think is important. There’s a sample ballot showing exactly what you’ll see on election day. It tells you how to register and where to go, about provisional ballots, mail-in ballots. It was such a fantastic resource.
Here in Texas, it isn’t easy finding information about the candidates besides their names and party. For any laws, good luck finding anything except for the name the dang thing. The plain text will be buried in a messy state website with nothing else presented. It’s like they don’t want us to know a damn thing about who or what we’re voting for.
I don’t always read all the info but I follow the money, so for instance anything “Howard Jarvis” is for, I’m against. Can you at least find out what groups or people endorsed your various choices in Texas?
Just so you know, he’s been dead for years, but the Association continues in his name to keep money in the clutches of landlords and property owners, rather than let any go towards support for those in need. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Jarvis
The West coast has it figured out. Though I’m in awe of Australia as well.
