I agree with this and to the other point about the comma, that proves that even some one who could become a proof reader, needs to be checked.
If we have a panel of proof readers, we can make sure that none of the proof readers try to change the bill for their purposes and we can all check for mistakes made by the other proof readers.

Makes sense to me. All those who just volunteered want to get started on the small buisness assistance act?

"(iv) Non-critical medical procedures (for example: sex changes or non-imperative plastic surgery) are not covered by the national healthcare system. Citizens seeking those kinds of operations will have to go to the private sector."
Actually, no, the current FSMA would torture me and make me non-functional if I were a student here. I've pointed that out many times in this thread, and several others have pointed out for other reasons that the law needs to take individual dietary restrictions into account, but the author doesn't care.Byzantium Imperium wrote:While free school meals is pretty non controversial and doesnt require debate

Not 'most likely' really. Most likely, they would continue to lead their lives, just less fulfilled than before and perhaps with lower self-esteem and depression problems. It's similar to a lot of therapies, including cosmetic surgery or, on a smaller scale, various forms of alternative medicine, massages etc.
Although well done for attempting to tackle that above post.

Uh..... Is that a posistion we should elect or have the government appoint?
Right now, i would nominate Nepal and Free califas for that posistion. They are both good proofreaders, and I trust both of them in their ability to set aside political things when editing for spelling and grammar.

She said 'likely', not 'most likely'. Considering we're talking about a population with suicide rates hovering around 30% in some countries, you wanna walk back that hair-split?
Also, surely you did not just compare the prevention of suicide, the refusal to add minority stress through systematic discrimination, to herbs and massage? Please educate yourself about this issue.

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.

To be clear, though, i still support an extension of the voting window, to make sure we have time to get it done, or put alternate plans in motion if it doesn't work out (Chestaan loses Internet connectivity etc.)Free South Califas wrote:Fulflood wrote:It won't get a lot of support from the right if he amends it though.
All that is necessary is to remove this discriminatory passage condemning people born transsexual to debt slavery:"(iv) Non-critical medical procedures (for example: sex changes or non-imperative plastic surgery) are not covered by the national healthcare system. Citizens seeking those kinds of operations will have to go to the private sector."
I have TGed with the other author, Chestaan, who supports this. The other three sponsors will be easily found to remove the discrimination from the text, and it can go forward as originally written, without mentioning GRS anywhere. There need be nothing for the right to get worked up about, even if they would prefer discrimination; according to the other limitations of the UHA, the surgeries will only be provided if they're strictly necessary for health and well-being.

Small Business Assistance Act
Drafted by: The Realm of God (PC) | Edited by: Fulflood (LD) | Sponsors: New Freedomstan (USLP), Radiatia (PC), Beta Test (LD), Royalsoldiers (CFE), Zweite Alaje (NIFP)
The Senate of Aurentina:
RECOGNISES that this nation has no agency or support system for small business,
UNDERSTANDS that small business is often a life line for those who want to better their lives and provide for their family, and
OBSERVES that starting a small business is often expensive and out of reach for most of our poorest.
Therefore, this act hereby establishes the Small Business Assistance Office.
The Small Business Assistance Office is empowered to:a. Provide low interest loans of up to £1,000,000 at a 2% APR for those who wish to start a small business (The Office can review each application on a case by case basis),
b. Offer free business advice, and
c. Help register a business.
A small business is hereby defined as an unincorporated or private limited business which earns less than (Provisional Currency)1,000,000, a year. The owners of the business must not have been declared bankrupt.
Forms of organisation which could be classed as a small business include:a. Unincorporated sole proprietors,
b. Partnerships (both traditional and limited),
c. Cooperatives (Worker owned businesses),
d. Privately held corporations (A limited liability company that keeps its shares in the hands of family or friends of the owner).
Small business owners must provide a decent working wage for their workers, 90% of national average within the first two years of operation.
