    I wasn't talking about the person, specifically. I was talking about the behavior, generally. And both Palin and Boebert show that neither money nor privilege are immune to the behavior.

    There's a push in Nebraska to get rid of the unicameral, and some rural conservatives are pushing for a senate where each senate district would just be three counties, rather than districts based on population.

    Giving, say, the 20,000 or so residents of the Sandhills more political power than 800,000 Omaha metro-area residents makes perfect sense to them.

    Put in Chicago/Chicagoland and Illinois and you get the same thing. People in the sticks complaining about Chicagoland running the show in IL. Well the Chicago Metropolitan Area (minus the areas that stretch into IN and WI) has like 62.5% of the population of IL.

    The metro Detroit area is about 4.5 million people. Next biggest place? Grand Rapids. With 1 million in their metro. Then there's the companies that have headquarters or offices here.

    If it's good enough for 'Merica, it's good enough for Nebraska! Why do you hate 'Merica so much? ;)

    Imagine the cringiest episode of The Office, multiply it by infinity, and it’s this



    EDIT: it’s a local news segment in Tennessee with highlights of a sit down interview with the man.

    still can’t get over Randy McNally, which is doubly funny. There are the obvious map jokes, and then there’s the double meaning of Randy/randy.

    You might even say that Randy McNally misread the map and has taken the road to perdition!

    What impresses me is how stupid he is. He uses his official account with his name and office and goes around flirting with young males. Did he really think he wouldn't get outed? I'd be tempted to think he was trying to get outed, if he wasn't now trying to pretend it wasn't what it obviously was.

    If I were a betting man, I'd wager this is about getting cheap labor for large agribusiness operations. Particularly from migrant and undocumented immigrant communities.

    Right - what possible reason could there be to do this, other than to make it easier to exploit kids

    Proponents of the legislation argued that removing the certificate would eliminate a tedious step that stood in the way of minors getting a job quickly in the state. They also said that the bill would restore decision-making to parents about their children and streamline the hiring process for minors.

    But opponents of the legislation have argued that the work certificate served as a form of protection for vulnerable youth, especially immigrant youth, who may not always have a parent or guardian to sign off for them to work and who could be exploited without that certificate.

    "When we think about kids working who are 14, we think about who this might protect, it's not the 14-year-old who's working at the ice cream parlor in your hometown, whose parents have given them permission to work. We're worried about the children who are at risk of being exploited and who are being exploited today," Laura Kellams, the northwest Arkansas director of the Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families, a group that advocates for children's rights in the state, said earlier this month during a committee hearing on the bill.

    And let's not forget those young boys who get a young girl pregnant. The boy will have to pull his weight to provide for the baby now that she can't get an abortion. Hence this law is a win-win! :(

    So the poor stay poor as they drop out of school to take care of the kid. It is the will of God as the Huckabee's are the aristocracy in Arkansas.

    It's the own fault of course. They should have just stayed celibate until after they were married. It's what God wants.

    Abortion is legal in Arkansas up to 17 weeks. A minor has to get parental permission or a judge can waive that.

    You're ever the optimist!

    I'm surprised by that but I doubt it will stay that way for very long (the 17 weeks, not your optimism)
