LC 2.5 The Lincoln Single Payer Healthcare Act (General debate)

[AustralianSwingVoter]

After careful consideration on the Amendment's effect on the bill, I vote Nay on this tiebreaker. Nay!

Also, Councillors, make sure to vote everytime you can. There will be consequences for inactivity.

For what's worth, I haven't made any efforts so far to ping Councillors on Discord or send PMs to them. Maybe I should start doing that? Though ideally they should appear by themselves

Given how short the votes are, only 24 hours, you really should Discord DM or Atlas PM all members whenever a vote opens.

What exactly are the inactivity consequences

Any Councillor who misses 4 final votes in a row is automatically recalled. And before that they may be recalled for inactivity if the people feel it necessary.

Tbh, it shouldn't be Speaker Tack's responsibility to ping every inactive/semi-active member.

These Councilors were elected with the expectation that they will be active legislators, and it doesn't take much effort to check in to vote (Which is, by the way, a bare minimum). They shouldn't need reminding.

Even you yourself have missed a vote. As has thr. As has Griffin and Ninja. Are you all inactive? No. It's just that Lincoln has very short votes. 24 hours is short enough that people can miss a vote. Plus, the sheer number of amendments mean people can miss one vote.
When the voting window is so short and the number of votes is so large people do need to be notified of votes because otherwise people will miss a vote or two despite their best intentions.

I have not yet missed a vote, your count is inaccurate.

Oh sorry about that, it turns out tack somehow failed to count the votes correctly.
Anyway, my point still stands.

For comparison the current total expenditure of Lincoln is $755.80 billion.
So single payer will cost more than the entire current spending of Lincoln. And given current revenue is only $510.88 Billion, you'll have to more than triple taxes to cover the entire cost of single payer.
