Yea the disaster was nearly three weeks ago, I wouldn’t say the communication and job by either Governor has been stellar.

Correct! You can sign as many petitions as you would vote for on the ballot. For example, School Board can be a vote for 4. You could sign 4 school board candidate petitions.

That's how you manufacture an obedient proletariat.

Yea he did well by approving the burning the poly vinyl into the atmosphere. Great work.

"We [DeWine and Shapiro] made the decision to go ahead with the controlled release,” DeWine said."

Republicans don't "fall for it," it's exactly what they want

I worked for a charter school in California in the late 90s. The "education" was a joke, all xeroxed packets the kids read at home before taking a 50 question multiple choice test. Meanwhile, the founders paid themselves fat salaries, including paying their teenage daughter six figures as the CFO while she was studying art in Paris. So I learned early that for-profit schools are a farce.

Yeah, they edited the headline, too. What a weird practice.

Yeah, no shit. This is what happens in literally every single instance of privatization, it’s the entire point, and republicans fall for it over and over and over again.

That’s a fair point. From a policy position, the most effective approach would be to eliminate the conditions that make financial crimes a viable option. One major obstacle, however, is that the people who tend to have institutional access to large sums of money tend to come from a caste of society who obtained intergenerational wealth. Show me a wealthy family, and I will show you a list of crimes and human rights abuses that got them there.

When people in poverty run the streets and organize, our criminal justice system is almost indiscriminate in their application of violence. When you are poor and get money through illicit means, the police will kick down doors and shoot before they even consider reading you your rights.

When wealthy criminals empty the retirement accounts of an entire generation, their lawyers get a letter in the mail: politely asking them if they wouldn’t mind please, maybe consider, if they have time, to sit for a deposition, with a lawyer present. It’s obscene, and feeds into the idea that their place in society is above the law.

The basic theory of justice is that the state has a monopoly on violence. And this theory only works when it is applied equally for the rich and poor alike.

I see that. Looks like they edited the article. It's much longer now. It was only a few paragraphs when I first posted it. I'll edit my post.

Wish I could say more. ;)

I had issues trying to create an account a couple years ago. Wish I could help you. I think the site is user unfriendly. Filing your taxes online should not be so difficult.

Here's hoping

This quote doesn't appear in the linked article. Did you link the correct article?

Taxpayers don’t have a choice when it comes to their money funding a largely unregulated and underperforming industry at the expense of public schools. A new bill could change that.

They should all be paying taxes. They shouldn't be treated like charities while any patient is filing bankruptcy due to medical bills.

> 5. Operates entirely free from private profit motive

This criteria is impossible to achieve.

Every single employee that is working at a non-profit and draws a salary (it doesn't have to be a high salary) has a presumed profit motive.

They want their employers to remain solvent, which would mean they continue to receive a paycheck, and/or they want their employer to grow so they can be better compensated or giving them a chance to move up in the hierarchy.

Thanks, so maybe for some reason doesn't like my last name, which is odd as my name is the same as it was at birth/registering for my SSN.

You can sign if there are multiple seats on the ballot. Example, if there are 3 school board seats, you can sign for 3 school board candidates. If there’s only one, you can only sign one petition.

They'll be proud of it

I don't know if we have the data out there to prove it conclusively. If we do I'm not aware of it to be honest. But I do know that negative reinforcement in general doesn't work, and so I expect that trend to hold true for financial crime regardless of the severity of the punishment

I got stuck on this page when I was making one for my business taxes. I’m not sure how to help your specific situation without you divulging info, but for me it was a line that was “BUSINESS NAME/LAST NAME” and it wouldn’t accept the business name for whatever reason but took my last name.
