How can #Maldives embrace #digital technologies to decentralize, diversify and decarbonize its economy?  Enabling existing pockets of innovation and investing in digital infrastructure and skills.

They need to employ on-line Small Business Management Consultants to help the newly formed businesses in the Maldives to succeed. And this plan also rewards the people who took the time to get an education and training by employing them as consultants.

Salute,

Hard to get conclusive backing from voters when they hit barriers getting to polls.


Give me the name of a qualified voter and I will tell you how they can vote without any complications

"Harder" is not the same as impossible.

Stop crying.   So making shit up.  Stop creating victims so easily.

Stop creating victims and we.can stop pointing them out.

They create themselves.   That's the point.  Just fuckin vote.  You are given plenty of opportunity, no  matter who you may be.

You keep saying that, refusing to accept example after example of people disenfranchised by YOUR party, whether by closing polling stations, minimizing access to required ID, dropping voters from roles on a pretext, making it harder for voters to get to the polls or to stay long enough once there...

You are such a fucking liar, Kid.

You and Ward, both.

Make voting by mail legal. Make registration automatic for citizens who turn 18. Make the polls easy to get to by location, hours, and days. Make it simple to get to the ID granting places, if you are going to require an ID.

Reduce obstacles to voting, Kid. It's really at least as simple as you claim voting is. And with fewer excuses not to.

And while your party is actually serving citizens, again, make it possible for the rest of our country's citizens to have representation and to vote for their president. Puerto Rico's statehood is only something that has been a part of the GOP platform for how long?

If they put a 10 foot wall in front of every inner city polling place you'd tell people to quit complaining and get a ladder. (Which is sort of an improvement over Red who would deny that the wall even existed)

Sinema torpedoing voting reform just underscores how fake her principles are.  She babbles on about "listening," but does precious little herself when it comes to the people who voted for her.  Or to colleagues who try to explain why ten GOPs who might sign onto to ANY democratic bill is a myth.  Watch her get primaried out by a progressive, thus handing the seat back to a Republican in the general. 

[REDSTATEWARD]

If the democrat push to end the Filibuster is dead it was killed by Joe Biden not any one moderate member of his party.

Think about it.

Biden marches to Georgia on Tuesday to finally endorse a Congressional Bill federalizing election control that can only pass if the Senate does away with the dreaded filibuster.

The speech was one big lie, much along the lines one Donald Trump gave a year ago trying to rally support for the GOP in two Senate runoff elections.  The GOP, thanks to Trump vitriol and lies in that speech, lost both elections.

So here comes Joe and his moment to outdo Trump

Will you stand against election subversion? Yes or no? . . . Do you want to be on the side of Dr. King or George Wallace ? Do you want to be on the side of John Lewis or Bull Connor ? Do you want to be on the side of Abraham Lincoln or Jefferson Davis?
Look it up and read it
If a speech can be full of itself this speech was.

Stacey Abrams must of known what was coming.  She stayed away.
Al Sharpton said, in an understatement, Biden overshot his mark.
The left wing media was stunned.
Next day Mitch McConnell torched the speech with a blistering one of his own.

Truth is the election bill is not high on voter priority lists and some moderates must have drawn similar conclusions-to pass it is it worth discarding the filibuster and turning the Senate into a Junior version of the House of Representatives?

Kiersten Sinema said hell no and took one for her party.
In reality if she had not there would have been others that would step up.
Thanks to Joe Biden and idiotic speech.

Here is a bit kid wrote back in 4/2020


Why is it DEMOCRAT voting will be suppressed while Republican will not?  Is this due only to the fact more Democrats were slated to vote absentee?

I think you need more than

-  Democrats are more likely to vote absentee
-  Democrats are more concentrated in the big cities (numbers would help) and thus greater of their numbers need to wait in long lines
-  Democrats are poorer and thus cant afford as much as Republicans to take the half day off from their work (are you still using this one)

If it is important enough - voters will VOTE.

So maybe you need to add - Democrats do not find issues important enough (compared to republicans) that they will get through rain, sleet and snow (and roving bands of chickens) to cast their ballot.

[LarryBnDC]

Roving bands of chickens...

[Oilcandide]

Red is obsessed with a speech, while the issues of substance go unremarked.

The filibuster was rarely used before the late 1950s and you know what.  After it was revamped so that a supermajority vote was needed (except for narrow budgetary bills), the percent of legislation passed dropped from over 25% to around 3% by 2010.   

Conservatives say they dislike the excess use of Executive Order to replace legislation, but it is the filibuster that led to its heavy use.  The Founders favored simple majority, and several Federalist papers predicted gridlock if that was abandoned.  Bingo.

[REDSTATEWARD]

Hardly.
The dems are not about to jettison the filibuster over a proposed law that is not only unconstitutional but was poisoned by the intemperate speech on Tuesday by President Biden.
That is the substance you ignore.

Pre-print study, but good news potentially.

Omicron seems milder for those under 5, as well. Still spreading and infecting more, but at least it is not individually worse.

Quit your ignorant bloviating. Biden's speech did not dissuade a single senator from voting for filibuster reform. It is like your obsession with Clinton's equally accurate description of half of Trump

No? How long did it take for the Senate dems to throw in the towel?
One day. No other Senator had to say anything publicly.
Sinema and Manchin had their backs.
Biden was hung out to dry.

Red is dead in the brain and heart. His persona is the embodiment of his fatty liver. Republican cannibalism is a disease. Red should not have cannibalizied so much of himself just to fit into a trump branded brown shirt. The bits left do not make up a person so much as a biological attack on democracy.

Which half of Trump did she describe?  Top and bottom are so similar...
