I agree. The right to a speedy trial not being observed is an issue.

This is only local jails, which makes sense as people are waiting trial then move on to long term prison.

This is surprisingly low. If the average family put all their expenses on a card and pays it off every month it won’t be far off this.

What is the average amount that people are actually paying interest on?

The increase should be capped at inflation. Currently mine go up 10% every year. I pay more in tax than I ever paid in rent. I’ll have to buy a tent in another decade at this rate.

This is why voting needs to be really easy. If a phone app/website is good enough for banking, it is good enough for voting.

AOC would be a better VP pick than top of the ticket. Let her ascend later when she is more experienced.

I’d like to see ‘tip’ and ‘gratuity’ legally protected as terms. So if it says ‘tip’ it must 100% go to the servers only. Very few do like they used to.

Newark airport self service tills ask for a tip.

That problem happened because there was no way to travel from town to town quickly so if the clocks were off nobody cared. The trains changed that.

I’ll add to this the lack of male only spaces throughout life. There used to be scouts, boys sports, working men’s clubs, veterans clubs etc. Almost all of it is mixed now because that was sexist. The opposite has happened in female areas with charity leagues, coding clubs, sports, gyms, etc.
