In many states you have to present multiple forms of ID to get ID. Its a catch 22 in many places that disproportionately affects lower income people. If you lose your ID in Florida, depending on your residency status and whether the Tax Collector’s office is enforcing rules, you may have to present birth certificate or a Social Security Card. To get a copy of your Social Security Card, you have to have a valid photo ID. Birth certificates require a permanent residence, access to online payment (bank account), and internet access to the right websites.

A lot of lower income people don’t have mortgages, drive, see medical professionals regularly, etc. Part of that is because of the barriers to easily getting a replacement ID that exist.

I worked with these individuals for years, and the amount of burden that it put people under was immense. In just my location alone I helped hundreds of people each year navigate government systems to get ID and aid. Its laughable how hard it is for the people wbo need help to access the programs that are currently in place.

Isn’t that the new dog-whistle term being used to disenfranchise younger voters and muddy the waters for democratic or liberal leaning politicians?

No offense, but that really isn’t a great way to show you’re a critical thinker.

If you are visiting YT on mobile, ReVanced has been working perfectly for me on Android. I’m not sure if there is cross-platform support, but there are alternatives to traditional adblockers out there.

I think they probably meant in the larger community and in this one. Access to educational materials and services would go a long way in making it harder for things like this to happen. A big problem in America, especially conservative majority areas, is that lack of resources, information, and education makes it easier for political and economic interests to overshadow people’s well being. Look at the push for ‘right-to-work’, brexit, West Virginia and Kentucky in general. There are a lot of people who have restricted access to information and learning who make their decisions based on Fox news, Facebook, and worse.

Why do you such a strong stance against pitbulls? It sounds like the poster above may already be someone who has cared for/is caring for that specific breed of dog. If they are comfortable with it and are good owners, why would it matter?

I highly recommend looking into Spiderweb Software games. They’ve been pumping out top down turn based tactics rpgs for years now. I am not sure of the viability on Linux, but I’m sure there is a workaround if anything.

The Avernum series in particular is great if you’re into detailed character building, exploring, and high difficulty optional quests/bosses!
