I think dems should gerrymander as much as possible while also proposing a nationwide ban on gerrymandering. I hate gerrymandering but if Republicans go all in and Dems refuse to, we'll have one party republican rule AND gerrymandering.

If anything I've been surprised at how polite EVERYONE is being here, yet damn near every local starts warning me about "the homeless" when I tell them I'm walking around.

The drug use is open and obvious. Walked by a dude earlier clearly smoking meth, but the only person who chose to interact with me nicely asked for a lighter and seemed elated and suprised when I handed him the back half of the joint I was smoking.

Lol. As I'm listening further, I know the homeless dude she's talking about. I gave him a couple of IPAs yesterday when I was exiting the food lion.

Her problem isn't that people are homeless, it's that she has to now interact with them.

Perhaps you could do your part by accurately reporting. The man wasn't killed because he was "hit by an SUV", he was killed because a driver ran him over.

Using passive language as you are doesn't help.

A pedestrian wasn't "hit by a car". A driver plowed their car into the pedestrian.

This would be like saying "local man shot by gun during robbery"

Second this. Worm bins are super easy and low maintenance.

Composting is 90% about green to brown ratio. The rest is about turning (adding oxygen) and not letting it get too dry.

If you want to get fancy you can get a soil thermometer and plop it in your pile. If it gets too hot you'll know you need to stir it or add browns. Too cool, add greens

Here in Chesterfield too. Dominion building out their methane production here too so we also get the dirty air and higher cancer rates.
