Voting by our representatives should take place over the course of a week. They can use web cameras to discuss the topic, a publicly recorded version of Discord, and so on. I want my reps to drink coffee, talk out the issues, and be able to submit their vote without time pressure.

Our systems are rooted in being physically present, yet make mental presence optional.

    It would be nice if we suddenly got a glut of discounted hardware for Black Friday and Christmas. I would like to fill out my PC with x4 RTX 4090 Specials, for 192gb of VRAM. Maybe 2tb of DDR5 7200 RAM.

    A human can dream...

    I think that isn't the issue. The problem is that "proper" food costs more than prefabs, and Cost-of-Living keeps growing while worker wages are stagnant. It is harder to afford perishable food that needs to be handcrafted, because that costs time, risks spoilage, and costs more for what it does.

    Money is getting tighter, and consequently every loss feels worse.

    I usually don't do much in the way of actual cooking. I use a Ninja Grill Airfryer XL - I just throw corndogs, breakfast sandwiches, polish dogs, ect, in there and have an affordable meal. I mostly buy my air fryer grub from Costco. I typically cook Tyson sausage patties alongside the sandwiches, to make it more complete for me.

    I also like bowl ramen, Kraft Macaroni, and Bibigo rice bowls. For the ramen, Better than Boullian jars from Costco adds extra chicken or beef flavoring.

    I invite the migrants to replace Republicans. It is clear that each and every Republican is a Dogey Confederate, and are shitty humans.

    Migrants make America a better place to live, and their default alignment isn't Stupid Evil.

    IMO, I think there are issues with CalExit that has nothing to do with politics.

    My two problems with it is...

    A: The signature counter hasn't changed for months, at all. It has been stuck at 210,031 signatures for a long time now. To me, that doesn't instill trust in Marc Ruiz Evans.

    B: Why is this petition attached to a "CaliNation" crypto currency? IMO, a crypto currency is supposed to be used as real money, and I don't foresee this particular thing as being that.

    There are four days left for the CalExit petition, but I am doubting the legitimacy of the person running it.

    Allowing the state of California to research the option of secession is important to preparing for all possibilities, but it feels like Marc Ruiz is unserious about getting this petition through.
