TLDR; Oregon corporate tax has a minimum rate of 1%. This ballot measure would raise it to 3% and give $750 to each Oregon resident (including children).

Get ready for an Uber/Lyft level of corporate ads and media spamming to try to sink this common sense bill.

Other than "dont' use Godaddy", what do I need to know? I've never owned a domain or had a website of my own before.

1. Domain registration/host recommendations?
2. Web hosting recommendations? Should I mix #1 and #2?
3. Website template creation suggestions? Have fairly simple needs like service offerings and contact forms but want something without rotating construction cones.
4. What else should I consider? Security? e-mail?
5. Am open to all-in-one for the above, just would like to understand tradeoffs, what to look for/avoid.

TIA

It’s a common misconception, but if you registered "Independent Party" you aren’t “independent” you are a member of your state’s Independent party, who has a platform and agenda you may or may not agree with. What you actually want is called an "unaffiliated" voter status. The good news is, all you have to do is...nothing!

LA Times had a good summary a few years back: https://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-ca-american-independent-party-california-registration-card-20180405-story.html

You don’t need to register with any party to show you don’t like R or D, do nothing or choose "unaffiliated if you want to be “little i independent”.

Examples:

• New York - http://ipny.org/platform.html

• Oregon - https://www.indparty.com/

• Illinois - https://www.iviipo.org/our-policies/economic-issues

• American Independent Party - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Independent_Party

Also why is it sometimes called a federated ID? Does it have to be an email address or could any value work?

I saw the movie on an airplane which is why I'm having trouble remembering it.

A dramatic film that centers around a couple, man and woman, released somewhere between 2007 and 2016 I believe. They don't seem too happy and argue a lot, the man is immature and unhappy. The key thing is that midway through the movie, the man realizes he has control over, or made a wish or something and the woman now agrees with whatever he says and follows his decisions or instructions. The guy loves it at first and then slowly realizes the loss of his partner's free will kills the energy of a relationship and he wishes he had back his girl who could argue with him. The movie ends and he's still unhappy. I don't remember the female role hardly at all, the male actor I believe might have been like a B+/A- actor at that point in his career, I remember thinking I was surprised how good he was. Might have been someone who had done more comedy and tried a serious role?

I've tried scrolling through IMDB for those years looking at top few hundred films released in a year, lists of dramas by year, etc. and have come up empty.

I don't remember many other plot points but appreciate any leads and will answer any questions that might help you help me!
