Sponsor Feedback: None Given
Status: A vote in 24 hours if none is given. IF I am not on when this ends, I ask the VP to open it for me unless TNF responds with a friendly judgement, then just call 24 hours on objections.

[TNF]

Amendment is hostile.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I PMed the VP asking him to open this vote if I am not on when the minimum debate time expires. Since I am on right now, chances are I won't be.

[DemPGH]

Following on the maestro's instructions, a vote is now open on amendment 57:17.

Aye

I was able to save up quite a bit of money by working at a grocery store during my junior and senior years of high school that I have been able to use to help pay for college, reducing the debt when I graduate. In the interest of students trying to reduce their college debt, I strongly oppose this amendment.

In the interest of students trying to reduce their college debt, I strongly oppose this amendment.

For what it's worth I intend on introducing a bill that will give all students a living stipend to compensate for any lost wages that will come as a result. My intent is to limit insofar as possible Atlasians' interaction with wage labor, and to that end I'll probably introduce an amendment later calling for mandatory retirement for those aged 65 and older.

I would recommend indexing that to life expectancy. We don't want life expectancy to hit 100 (as it surely will at some point) with the mandatory retirement age still at 65.

AYE


As for the next amendment, I am most certainly opposed to it. And as for the stipend, it seems like it would be an expensive way to cover a hole created this no work provision, especially when we are trying to effect the minimum income guarrantee.

4-5-0-1 with Xahar not voting.


If he doesn't vote by tomorrow. I might just change my vote to end this one. I wouldn't want a completely wide open thing here anyway, but instead have restrictions and limitations and so forth on how much work they can do.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I change my vote to NAY
