Pic: Trying something new here - a focused overview.

In 2014, Governor Rick Snyder was accused of criminally mishandling the Flint Water Crisis.

A 2020 Vice article revealed his (& others) corruption & a subsequent cover-up attempt.

In early 2021, Snyder & others were all formally charged for the crisis.

But, late in 2022, a Democratic judge let Snyder off the hook...

His "Reinvention of Michigan" was a "shared sacrifice" of taxing workers's pensions - while abolishing the higher business tax & replacing it with a low, flat rate...

Snyder passed a law to prevent same sex partners (of public workers) from receiving health benefits.

This law was later struck down by a federal judge.

But, he helped pass a bipartisan state tax on online purchases.

Then, Snyder got an anti-union bill - thru both Houses & without public hearings or committee votes!

This made it illegal for union dues to be required for employment.

But, worse, the Employee Free Choice Act can't be repealed via referendum...

President Obama stated that this law was about the "right to work - for less money..."

Snyder made abortion clinics pay for a state license, unnecessarily increasing costs for such facilities.

Worse was to come.

Detroit was declared to be under a financial emergency & was placed under the power of an emergency manager.

This made Detroit part of group of such emergency appointments.

Over half of Michigan's black folks ended up in places where 'their' local government wasn't voted in by the locals...

Then, Snyder helped strike down a bill that affirmed the government's & military's 'right' to lock up anybody - without trial & for as long as wanted.

Perhaps the best of his few 'good' deeds.

He also offered visas to 50,000 immigrant workers - with advanced degrees - to help jumpstart Detroit's economy.

But then, Snyder had Flint's water source changed to the polluted Flint River.

This water was so corrosive that it leached lead out of the old water pipes - poisoning the city's children most!!

Worse, it turned out that Snyder knew about the dangers of the Flint River - 6 months after Flint began using river water - to save money...

So, Flint born Michael Moore called for the governor's arrest & started an online petition.

But, as is usual in such situations, it took a class action lawsuit to finally get things moving.

A state of emergency was finally declared - by Snyder himself.

But, it was, as also usual - too little & too late...

The damage had been done.

And the criminal behind it walked free.

End.

the insane politics present on the isles is something that needs to be expanded on. i need to know why they decided that the most effective and worthwhile civil protection is a gate that turns people to ash if they're not supposed to walk through it. we know serkonos has labor unions but they also have a no-no zone beacon that, again, turns people to ash if they're not supposed to be there.

#dishonored #i just need to know the exact political structure and cultural links of the entire game's social ecosystem #what are the local governors' opinions on bull rats as food #here's a fun fact i know from the books: tyvia doesn't have prisons technically #but they DO have hyper-isolated labor camps where criminals can work off debts they can't or don't wish to pay #it's not a prison because there's no walls just miles and miles of lethally cold tyvian tundra #like its all so artfully blatant fascism

#god I’m so fucking bitter abt life rn #got an email from my university’s graduate school that was all ‘thank you grad students you are the backbone of our university’#and all I could think was ‘yes we fucking know. we’ve been saying this. pay us more’#it’s genuinely not the grad school’s fault. they’ve actually been really helpful to our cause #like they commissioned a study a year or two ago that found grad students here are criminally underpaid compared to peer institutions #(as in they’d need to raise our wages by 25% to be competitive. as I said. CRIMINALLY underpaid)#and they have been advocating for us to the board of governors and whatnot using this study as evidence #so I’m not actually mad at the grad school. it’s the university in general #all they do is say ‘grad students are key to our institution’s success’ like yes we know we’re just cheap labor #we teach like 60% of undergrad classes bc we’re cheaper than tenured faculty #I read this article that interviewed a bunch of NTT faculty at my school and they were like ‘yeah we get paid like $50-60k and can’t survive #on that in this VERY EXPENSIVE housing market’#and I was like ‘well damn then I will no longer feel like my inability to survive on $30k is a personal failing’#I’m at my fucking breaking point. I just need a new job #and I’ve been applying like crazy and all I’ve heard back from anyone was two rejections #I’m sure it’ll work out but it’s very hard to see that rn

Proof that DiSantis is the Devil.

He's deliberately codifying obstruction of justice with heavy fines for those who work with law enforcement to help find gun criminals.

Me: White voters in southern states vote overwhelmingly Republican. Trump and most of the Republican electorate: We should nuke California despite it having the highest raw number of Republicans in the country! Self-Flagellating Liberals: Both of these are the same thing.

#politics #nobody is arguing to deny red states aid but Trump literally made blue states get into bidding contests during COVID #and also almost got the Governor of Michigan assassinated but who's counting?#it's not Democrats' fault that overwhelmingly Republican legislatures haven't expanded Medicaid and are criminalizing IUDs #that's all I'm saying

A cycling network that became the criminal network in order to organize a murder won`t never go out of a prison.

They will have enough time to keep peddling on a bike in a prison room.

Probably, for 30 years.

A cycling community is legal, and an informant can cooperate.

An investigation is required.

‘Seen enough press’: Hochul’s media whine as Zeldin breathes down neck

Hochul vented her spleen as she entered the Hamilton Senior Center on Manhattan’s Upper West Side to stump for votes one day before Election Day. “I wanna see some…
