[Free South Califas]

We need a six and a seven on the addition.

I disagree in the sense that I oppose this omnibus motion. I think the bill's title is potentially slanderous and should be kept evident in the queue so we do not forget the shameful anticommunist obsession that briefly motivated the center coalition in our recent electoral history.

I think it's a perfect summary of our political picture; a vicious piece of non-legislating that the author regrets. I also think having it sit there separately will make it easier to ask the next elected President to pull it off the queue, which should eventually happen.

In the sense that "We" is the Aurentine people, I think we would be better served by leaving it sit alone, but that is just my humble opinion. At position #12, it won't be voted on before it can be reviewed by the next President. Whichever hir political orientation is, it will be clear enough what the ethical thing to do is.

If I still had a god I would pray that my side never stoops so low.

Small Business Assistance Act is not a very well written bill, there are certain confusing point's first is this revenue or profit. If profit is it before or after tax?

VALID forms of organisation include.

Unincorporated Sole Propriater.

Partnerships (both traditional and limited)

Cooperatives (Worker owned businesses)

Add the ability for students to choose full nutritious allergen-/sensitivity-/religiously-/medically-/ethically-safe meals for their individual needs and you've got my sponsorship. Like Phing Phong has pointed out elsewhere, one vegan meal will do for vegetarians, vegans, and all major religions. Add a gluten-free version and you've got allergies to gluten as well as several major grains covered. Have another one without nuts, seeds or soy and you're good AFAIK.

The current bill can easily be interpreted by MoH as only requiring one standard meal, kids with allergies and sensitivities being expected to slowly cripple themselves for the sake of bureaucratic efficiency. One such meal has been suggested in this thread, which would almost certainly be accepted, and would make it impossible for me to function at school if I were one of the students.

Like I've pointed out elsewhere, if I were a student, under this system I would likely be forced to eat sandwiches which would cause me a weeks-long nightmare of neurological symptoms that would make it impossible to focus in school.

H - Additional Notes:

Complicity in... refers to knowledge of a crime prior to it being committed, and not taking action to prevent it. It carries the same punishment as the crime, but cannot be a Felony.
Assisted... refers to taking action to aid committing a crime. It carries the same punishment as the crime.
Attempted... refers to taking actions to perpetrate a crime, but not completing the act for external reasons. It carries the same punishment as the crime.
Intent to... refers to taking actions to perpetrate a crime, but not initiating the act for external reasons. It carries the same punishment as the crime, but cannot be a Felony.

If someone does not have the means to pay a fine, they cannot be handed it.

The Above are hereby determined to be Crimes: thus arrests may be made for, charges may be brought for and a trial may follow on from committing them.
