I have worked elections too. Can confirm. The ballot is separated from identifying info once validated.

I like "handy tab" better.

And has zero influence on corporate policy.

The barely above minimum wage manager doesn't make these decisions and all you gain from screaming at him is bringing down the mix of everyone around you.

The best way to handle this is to not shop at Kroger. Not when they start doing it. Now. Kroger won't get my money until they publicly admit this is a bad move and walk it back before it happens.

Not too weird if you consider pre-tax contributions for retirement and health insurance.

Regardless, this is some clickbait bullshit. I ran some numbers too like other commenters, and you have to have some real shit credit even with an 11% down payment to get the monthly payment cited in the article. Even so, with an 11% down payment you shouldn't be buying a house anyway due to the PMI and higher interest that comes with it.

There's a whole mess of poor financial decisions that led to the clickbait headline.

We're not expecting you to see people in terms of race. That would be profiling. You're being far too literal and not making a point in good faith by trying to equate visual impairment in this context.

Please look up the difference between equality and equity, and why equality isn't sufficient and can in fact still be exclusionary in today's reality. That's the point we're trying to make here.

No it's not, it's actively dismissing someone's race. The passive thing is to say nothing about it.

When you say something like "I don't see color" or "I don't see race", you're actively dismissing an immutable part of a person's identity, which is insulting. You can acknowledge and appreciate someone's race without treating them differently because of it.

I truly have no idea what you're trying to say.

This is very true, and all you need to look at is Wisconsin 2022. Mandela Barnes (D) narrowly lost the Senate race to Ron Johnson (R), but Tony Evers (D) crushed Tim Michels (R) for governor. Given the numbers, this would've been impossible without some split ticket votes.

A record is not a solid master copy. Vinyl, as an analog medium, wears out in the same way a cassette does.

There's a difference?
