I am assuming sponsorship for any of Tmth's bills that remain in the queue. It appears to be just the Reforming Atlasian Public Health Act of 2014, but I might have missed one and I am in hurry.

We can debate the numbers and such, but I think there is merit to incorporating HSAs as long as it is not a substitute for covering the poor or something obviously, which I think is where mucho f the opposition from the left stems from in RL.

I'll assume sponsorship of this. I am interested in finding alternative mechanisms to achievei t though.

Actually that amendment was not ratified. Oakvale and I checked last Tuesday I think. The previous one from last year is thus still in effect.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

The midwest passed it here: https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=186690.0
The pacific passed it here: https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=186563.0
The mideast passed it here: https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=186552.0
The northeast passed it here: https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=187245.0

Unless the argument is that sirnick failed to close the Northeast's booth...

Unless closed, I don't think it is considered as having passed said region.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Why would we treat them any differently then the administration of election booths, Senate votes or a number of other instances where such is not considered the case until the administrator of said votes publically ends the vote and declares the results to be finalized?

Also, I must point out that it this is not a good place to continue this discussion.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Aye

I prefer to air on the side of having the debate as opposed to not.

Abstain

Because for five year, this never ever had to be utilized.

Considering all the retread TNF bills, it is a shock that it didn't have to be used, and that is entirely because I believe that people should have an equal chance at the floor and as long as the clogging rule is in effect, not canning bills is not counterproductive to that goal.

I was unsure of how to handle tipped employees, but that portion of the act passed in December 2013 was never amended unlike the FLSA of 2014, and therefore we would like see tipped employees cease to exist so that they would be treated as regular employees subject to the main minimum wage. I put them at a dollar less as a means to encourage employers to hire them once again.

The way this is going to play out, is sooner or later people are going to accept what it means to have a "freakin game god", or the game itself is dead. There is no middle ground, because otherwise you have a bunch of people, bullsh...ting into a vacuum and every election is basically a popularity contest with no dynamic aspect or interaction with a stream of events whatsoever. Basically what we have had, only worse.

Kalwejt was the best Game Moderator this game has ever had, and he was run out of office. Good job guys. So no we are not going to abolish the game moderator. And why don't you find a way to give some purpose to your current job unless you are unintentionally driving it down the same road.

Huh? I singlehandedly talked down a terrorist who was set to destroy half of Atlasia and kill millions in a nuclear holocaust. That alone makes me one of the most significant VPs in Atlasian history.

Keep bandying around your proposal to suspend freedom of speech for the sake of your so-called God, though. I'm sure that's just what this game is missing: illiberal, right-wing religious fanaticism!

There has to be a balancing act with the GM, Nix. But, the GM has to have the freedom to operate and constantly driving them out is only making the position's failure a self-fullfilling prophecy.

I have never called for a suspension of free speech. What I am calling for is the realization of the importance of the GM's independence and the need for him to have the support necessary to get things done. Riley did have a point about their not being enough consequences from the GM for the ridiculous policies in this game. I would much prefer a crazy GM hammering down the crazy legislation with reality, then letting things continue to be roses and daisies, pass whatever you want and it never matters.

I move to co-sponsor.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I demand that the Articles of Impeachment that have been introduced against both Vice President Nix and Attorney General Al be removed from the Senate queue. These are frivolous pieces of legislation with no real merit.

It is the constitutional right of the actual Senators to offer these resolutions.
