Excellent. I hear the right-wing radioheads that say there will be violence at their convention and the very next sentence is that it's "a self-fulfilling prophesy". Huh? The shut the you-know up! My biggest fear is republicans. They repulse me.

If ya sign in as a sworn Trump supporter you can bring your piece in with ya.

Yes, it's a good idea to slow down and drive safely in these neighborhoods. No it's not a good idea to put up fake signs on this scale, you're not much better than graffiti artists.

Just to make sure I understand. You want rent to be cheaper, but you also want to require 20-50K in additional spending per unit?

Really, it's not about taxes, government debt, budget inadequacies, etc etc. It's more about our system. How we do things. We voted. It's obvious what we collectively think. Now, is our system going to fail our voices? Will the "Superdelegate" thing really be what counts? More than individual votes?

There are many reasons to restrict the parking supply. The math on building parking close-in makes adding adequate supply at affordable rates very hard. Additionally, more parking means more cars.

If oil companies "can't afford" to pay taxes on the oil they produce , then perhaps producing oil in Alaska is no longer viable. If that is true then Alaskans are in for something far greater than just a year or two of short budgets and wishful thinking on behalf of its current political leadership.

This was my first time caucusing and I heard the rules just like everyone else. If it's a caucus then it should be a caucus. You shouldn't be able to stop by and collect a card and then give it to someone for it to be counted later. That makes no sense. There is absolutely no accountability with the way things went.
