DaemonFC[m]<schestowitz__ "yes, dejoy helps trump sabotage"> The post office in Waukegan, IL is running about a day or two slower than it used to.Sep 09 02:35
DaemonFC[m]The USCIS sent Mandy letters postmarked September 3rd. Informed Delivery scanned them today and they weren't in my box.Sep 09 02:36
DaemonFC[m]So 6 days for first class mail from St Louis, MO to Waukegan, IL.Sep 09 02:36
DaemonFC[m]Used to be 3, maybe 4.Sep 09 02:36
DaemonFC[m]It's pretty obvious there's been sabotage, so when you get your ballot you should definitely fill it out and drop it in the mail immediately. If it's within 10 days of the election day, I'd say go find an official ballot drop box in your county or hand it over to the election office in person.Sep 09 02:37
DaemonFC[m]schestowitz__: That basically means that there will be a lot of votes not counted in Florida.Sep 09 02:38
DaemonFC[m]There's only 10 days of early voting and if it's taking a week to get a letter one state over, figure 4-5 days within a state.Sep 09 02:38
DaemonFC[m]Serious damage, and it may blow up on Trump.Sep 09 02:38
DaemonFC[m]House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy was spending hours begging Trump to stop because old people vote by mail and if he cuts them off, Republicans all over may lose winnable elections just because the ballots don't arrive in time.Sep 09 02:39
DaemonFC[m]Since some of the worst sabotage is in California, Kevin McCarthy himself might get booted out of Congress because of the mail.Sep 09 02:40
DaemonFC[m]schestowitz__: I think this _might_ tip a state or two for Trump if it's a close election there, but it will wipe out perhaps a dozen or so House Republicans and maybe even a few Senators who would have won if the mail was running.Sep 09 02:40
DaemonFC[m]So Trump may stay in, but he'll help the Democrats take the Senate and expand their House majority.Sep 09 02:41
DaemonFC[m]Kevin McCarthy is more worried about himself, obviously, and Congressional Republicans.Sep 09 02:41
DaemonFC[m]He sees a situation where it doesn't help Trump enough to win but it causes both chambers of Congress to see a lot of Democrats pick up seats.Sep 09 02:41
DaemonFC[m]The states that are playing along with Trump's sabotage and refusing to budge the election day deadline at all are red states.Sep 09 02:42
DaemonFC[m]Indiana says COVID-19 isn't an excuse to vote by mail, but saying you'll be out of the county on election day is.Sep 09 02:43
DaemonFC[m]Nobody is going to check to see if you're in the county.Sep 09 02:43
DaemonFC[m]So you could request a ballot and say you'll be outside the county all day.Sep 09 02:43
DaemonFC[m]You don't even have to say you will be outside the county. You can say "I have a reasonable expectation that I might need to be out of the county that day.".Sep 09 02:45
DaemonFC[m]Indiana's voter ID law doesn't apply to absentee-by-mail, because Republicans normally use it.Sep 09 02:46

DaemonFC[m]Well, most people who say they got 3 letters from USCIS over renewal of EAD say that the first one says that they received your letter and this receipt is proof that you are eligible to work for 180 days past the expiration date on your old card if they haven't given you the new card yet. The second is just a code so you can see the case status online, and the third is a letter saying that they can reuse your oldSep 09 05:30

DaemonFC[m]I've been studying up on more immigration law to try to have a good answer for anything they ask.Sep 09 19:37
DaemonFC[m]Maricel tried to do as much damage as she thought she could do on the way out.Sep 09 19:39
DaemonFC[m]I anticipate that she told them lies just to spark uncomfortable questions.Sep 09 19:39
DaemonFC[m]Of course, they have to give us an interview and keep approving his EAD renewals until then, and that  only helps us because he's establishing an employment record and income and so on.Sep 09 19:40
DaemonFC[m]Forcing the issue and applying before the laws changed stops them from considering us under the new regulations, which are now almost impossible to beat.Sep 09 19:41
DaemonFC[m]They even make you fill out a new form that calculates all of your income and savings, whether you have health insurance, where that insurance came from, etc.Sep 09 19:41
DaemonFC[m]It asks for a credit report. It considers whether you (the immigrant) have ever filed for a fee waiver from USCIS.Sep 09 19:42
DaemonFC[m]That's right. You can ask for a fee to be waived, but then they'll use it as evidence that your finances could collapse later.Sep 09 19:42
DaemonFC[m]So nobody is asking for fee waivers now, even if the law says they should get one.Sep 09 19:43
DaemonFC[m]They're hiding out and not daring to get tested for COVID-19, even though the USCIS says that it doesn't count. They believe they're being lied to.Sep 09 19:43
DaemonFC[m]Some of them are even afraid to go to the health department and get a free flu shot because it could be receipt of a public benefit.Sep 09 19:44
DaemonFC[m]People with HIV are going untreated, even though ADAP programs are not public charge even in the new rule, because they're afraid that USCIS will say they have an expensive medical condition.Sep 09 19:44
DaemonFC[m]So Trump is creating public health disasters that are killing Americans with his Public Charge rule, and people like my parents aren't smart enough to get that.Sep 09 19:45
DaemonFC[m]Trump has instilled a new era of distrust in government. People are so cynical now, not just immigrants, that confidence that the federal government is doing the right thing has collapsed to an all time low. Especially the CDC, which now has the approval of just 27% of Americans.Sep 09 19:46
DaemonFC[m]On the right and left, people who say a vaccine before November would be an election stunt that got rushed and that they would not personally take it is an absolute majority on both sides. The vaccine makers were so concerned over Trump's politicization of the FDA that they all issued a joint statement saying that they will not apply for approval or even emergency use authorization until there's been phase 3 trials.Sep 09 19:48
MinceR(cat) (audio:important) https://vid.pr0gramm.com/2020/07/06/4789f75f8a6ab261.mp4Sep 09 19:48
DaemonFC[m]Also, to give you a taste of what a rushed vaccine to help Trump's election would look like, AstraZeneca said they had to shut down a trial yesterday of their most promising vaccine candidate, because it was causing "mysterious illness" and it would be unethical to continue. But if Trump approves something by November, that's the quality you get.Sep 09 19:49
DaemonFC[m]This is not a joke. A Coronavirus vaccine has never been done. It's been 5 months or so of any real research, and we all know what the 1976 Gerald Ford flu shot ended up doing. That was a flu shot, for a pandemic that (luckily) never escaped Fort Dix, but even with 30 years of practice making a flu shot by 76, the vaccine itself killed at least 30 people and paralyzed 450 for life. If Gerald Ford, who was generally aSep 09 19:52
DaemonFC[m]steady and decent man, approved that because his poll numbers were bad, imagine what a racist mobster like Trump will do.Sep 09 19:52
DaemonFC[m]It's rushed. Everyone knows why it's rushed. I'm not going to get an election prop vaccine and die a few weeks later. Sep 09 19:56
DaemonFC[m]It would be really funny if the FDA did an emergency use authorization and the military was deployed to inject people with it, and the lines were deader than a Texas salad bar.Sep 09 19:57
DaemonFC[m]Even if there was a vaccine at this point it would probably just end up being a fiasco when nobody showed up and CNN could really start trolling Trump.Sep 09 19:57

DaemonFC[m]I wasn't thrilled about Windows Genuine Advantage being added years ago, but I at least understood its main purpose was to prevent piracy. But the amount of personally identifiable information was unnerving then and it's gotten much worse in every release since then. Evem backported from Windows 10 when they supported 7.Sep 09 23:35
DaemonFC[m]So it turned out that the mostly well received Windows 7 was a bait and switch operation spanning the next several years.Sep 09 23:36

DaemonFC[m]So we have our answer. Microsoft can produce products that most people like when they put some effort into it, but when it's no longer necessary, the quality crashes again. It had been a roller coaster ride over the years where Windows 2000 was good, Windows XP started off bad and worked out in the end. Windows Vista was never fixed.
