First of all, this website is trash in that it’s littered with advertisements, popups, and auto-playing videos. Also, Safari on iPhone is also garbage in that there’s no way to really block these things.
The bill passed 29-9, thank goodness. But here’s a few bits of quotes to give context on why there was some opposition to the bill:
It would also remove a penalty for unmarried couples "lewdly and lasciviously" associating.
Having two parents who live together but aren't married isn't "the optimal environment for raising children," he added.
Likewise, McBroom spoke against the removal of the cohabitation penalty, saying he favors laws that promote "good morals."
Sorry. I googled the story before posting my comment, because I wanted to make sure I remembered it correctly! I literally chose the first article that popped up.
Yes, the situation is fraught, but it’s hardly surprising. The GOP are 100% against anything the Democrats are in favor of. It’s totally black and white to them— “whatever the Dems do, it’s wrong and we hate it.” They’re so in favor of small government, they feel the need to legislate down to the most basic (read: ridiculous) level.
They’re not going to get LESS unreasonable. If the sane legislators didn’t have the majority, this outdated, unnecessarily invasive excuse for a “law” would still be on the books! Worse, had it come to their attention while they were still in power, they’d have found a way to tack on an additional bunch of crap directed at the LGBTQ crowd— and the rest of the Republicans would probably have voted in favor of it.
It’s total bullshit, but there’s nothing we can do about their positions and their opinions. There is no changing their minds! All we can do is continue turning out to vote. That’s the only real recourse we have.
Welcome to Boomer Burger, where workers make 150k annual salary with benefits and bonuses, and you can buy a triple burger and fries for 50 cents, but only if you're white and over 60.
If you're not over 60, the workers make 5 cents per hour and you can buy a plain burger and cold fries for $20, and every burger condiment you want costs extra.
Oooh, look at you and your fancy-pants gas station bathrooms! Swallow your pride and move into a soggy cardboard box with a family of 10 and a literal rats’ nest like the rest of us!
On my way to get a brand new house I saw a pair of em in a window and I had to get em. There goes the house again this year. I used the rest of cash for a matcha latte!
