There's a one time purchase to remove ads.

The ultra subscription adds a few features like translations that use cloud services.

Leaded gas and an aging population.

Edit: That's a pretty flippant response to a complicated answer.

You could write a book about how West Virginia got into this mess. We're a third world country right here in the United States. Most of our industry is owned by foreign (out of state) interests. We generate wealth and it gets shipped out with no benefit to the people who live here. Our natural resources alone should make us wealthy, but they are stolen from us and we are left sick and impoverished.

Then come the Republicans, with their rhetoric of "gubbmint interference" and these brain-damaged idiots lap it up. We elect a Democrat governor who then switches parties to support Trump. How do we react? We fucking reelect him.

No ads on Mastodon. They'll write about it when they figure out how to monetize it.

Term limits would require a Constitutional Amendment.

Laughable with a republican congress.

I still blame her for Barrett.

I've been out more than 25 years, with no recidivism.

Not all states restore your rights automatically, but the wording on the document is quite clear about restoring voting rights.

Restoration of Citizenship is a vital document, just like a birth certificate.

Edit to add a bit of the relevant law:

All rights are automatically restored upon “unconditional discharge” of sentence or unconditional pardon. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 13-1. This language has been interpreted to include payment of all court debt, a barrier to voting ruled unconstitutional under the State constitution in September, 2020, that is the subject of ongoing litigation.1 The agency releasing the prisoner (or probationer) must file a certificate evidencing unconditional discharge and restoration of the rights of citizenship with the court in the county of conviction (North Carolina state offenses) or the county of residence (for offenses under federal law or the law of another state). § 13-2.

The paperwork I have mentions "...all rights including the right to vote..." I have gotten conflicting advice on whether that includes firearms, but I'm not pushing it. I can hunt with a bow.

I live in West Virginia, I can attest that they are fucking rabid about Trump 2024.

We need a constitutional amendment to place term limits on the Supreme Court.

We do not need an amendment to increase the number of justices or to impeach them.

I'm a felon, and I can vote.

Not a bullshit felony, either. I pled to 3 armed robbery charges, got 14 years with a mandatory 7 in North Carolina.

My sentence made me ineligible for parole, and when I was released they presented me with a document called "Restoration of Citizenship" which restored all rights (except firearm ownership I think. Not gonna test that one.)

To do the math correctly, you'd need to start with their respective presence on the fediverse instead of the population by country.

You'll have to wait for the card. You'll have to activate it with the CCV on the back.

Based solely on this post, you should not.
