I can only assume that by “dream collection” they are talking about the act of collecting your hopes and dreams to smash them up and turn them into shareholder value

Literally an apartheid state and we're rooting for characters that are committed to "keeping it safe" (this means further militarizing the border between Piltover and the undercity and killing children on accident and feeling really bad about it). There's plot elements that expose how bad Piltover is for undercity citizens, but that's just the other half of both-sidesing the issue and calling it a cycle of violence. No, the REAL and IMMEDIATE threat is Silco, the guy actually committed to resistance against apartheid Piltover and even the Good and Right characters are opposed to him - to the point that they're more willing to work with Piltover, the state that has been oppressing them their whole lives and which they constantly talk about how its oppressed them their whole lives, to take him down. There's even the gem at the end where Piltover is on the verge of granting the undercity sovereignty and freedom to end the fighting, but then someone decides to fire a fucking rocket straight into the room this decision is being made in. It almost feels 1 for 1 equivalents being made to Israel and Palestine based on hasbara narratives.

For $54, $13, or even $4 a month I found a plan!

Oh that sounds cool! Fuck you employer plan that costs hundreds a month! Get me on that Healthcare.Gov plan!

Some basic questions ....you make above our outdated poverty wage. Your employer offers a "qualified plan" therefore deny-defend-depose NO SOUP FOR YOU! However if you want a worse plan that costs more then some 3rd party of a 3rd party will be more than happy to depart you with your hard earned post tax dollars.

porky-happy Are you retired but not Medicare age? LOL get back to work slave! That'll be $500 / month! Sucker!

Are you 26 and living with your parents because no employer gives a shit about thr Bachlors technical degree the world told you needed to get a job outside of McDonald's fry snitch? Well we can make a debt slave out of you!

Fucking sick ass joke country.

It was a super-annoying read. The info was all over the place. And the fucking New York Times made the lede the final paragraphs. Basically - if the republicans want to have one - I'm sure they'll be able to. The constitution is a vague mess on this. The article doesn't mention the supreme court. But I'm certain nearly everything the republicans want to do will be declared constitutional by the wackadoodle GOP SCOTUS justices.

  • 34 states to have a convention
  • 38 states to approve any constitutional amendment.

A Constitutional Convention? Some Democrats Fear It’s Coming.

The 1787 gathering in Philadelphia to write the Constitution was the one and only time state representatives have convened to work on the document. [...] A simple line in the Constitution allows Congress to convene a rewrite session if two-thirds of state legislatures [34 out of 50] have called for one. The option has never been used, but most states have long-forgotten requests on the books that could be enough to trigger a new constitutional convention, some scholars and politicians believe.

[...]

More than 34 states appear to have standing requests to change the Constitution, some dating back more than 150 years. [...] 38 states would have to approve any constitutional amendment.

[...]

By the count of David Super, a professor at the Georgetown University Law Center and an expert on constitutional conventions, the highest number of active requests for a convention on one specific topic is 28, for a balanced budget. But, he said, if Article V is interpreted as allowing any request to count toward convening a constitutional convention, the 34-state threshold has already been reached.

“If Congress declares under whatever crazy counting theory the convention advocates support that we’ve met the threshold, then we’ll have a convention,” Mr. Super said.
