Now, Lopen, as someone who just spent almost like a topic or so in the past arguing that people do not listen to people's posts and misconstrue them at will and that people should stop taking the comments in the worst way possible to argue it, you have right now where I have clearly explained what I said and reiterated it multiple times now.

The post you referred to in your initial comment has zero of the things (at that moment or beforehand) you are arguing now that I said later after your post (which those posts are in reference to my own personal care/opinion on the topic and has nothing to do with my initial comment which jabbed at the overboard nature that those are having now in relation to it).

Well I mean to be fair it's closer to Trump-Clinton than a bog standard normal senate race in a lot of regards due to its timing, how up in the air the winner is, and the amount of media focus given to it.

And whether someone is from Alabama-- a point you have harped on time and time again and the main part I disagree with-- is ultimately a fairly small part of the pie as to whether one should care about the result of a senate race. For each thing they vote on that affects Alabama, there are going to be that many more things they vote on, argue for, etc etc, that affects other states-- so really every close senate race should be cared about by anyone, particularly when there's not a super strong party majority in the senate.

AL - In final-hour order, court rules that Alabama can destroy digital voting records after all

At 1:36 p.m. Monday, a Montgomery County Circuit Court judge issued an order directing Alabama election officials to preserve all digital ballot images created at polling places across the state today.

But at 4:32 p.m. Monday, attorneys for Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill and Ed Packard, the state administrator of elections, filed an "emergency motion to stay" that order, which the state Supreme Court granted minutes after Merrill and Packard's motion was filed.

By granting the stay, the court effectively told the state that it does not in fact have to preserve the digital ballot images - essentially digitized versions of the paper ballots voters fill out at the voting booth - created today.

The court will hold a hearing on Dec. 21 about whether to dismiss the case outright. By that point the state will have had ample time to destroy the digital ballot images legally under the stay.

There's a lot of reasons to care about the Alabama Senate Race. I mean besides the fact that a US Senator will vote on things that effect everyone, there's the fact that Roy Moore is such a terrible person. You get someone THAT terrible running for office, and with a good probability of winning -- and you're going to get a lot of attention.

It'd be like if Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi were running for senate, and was leading the polls.

I dont think anyone is misunderstanding you Corrik. You say that the political topic should care less and that Alabamians should care more than the average American.

We disagree because the election has real implications for the make-up of the senate both currently and for 2018. It also helps that it is the only election going on so of course it will have all of the attention.

It is and it isn't

Like to me it's relevant cause it's the only thing I think is completely wrong about his view and it's wrong to the point where I'm having my doubts Corrik has a good grasp of what senators do and don't do.

On the grand scheme though, yeah probably not too relevant to his overall point. That has been addressed too though. Context is key and it's not all red vs blue at work there.

The trump administration has also put forward a rule that would allow businesses to steal the tips that their employees earn.

https://twitter.com/mattdpearce/status/940662209612353536

Update on the Trump administration's proposed rule change that would allow businesses to take servers' tips: "We estimate that under this rule, employers would pocket $6.1 billion in tips earned by tipped workers each year." https://t.co/sxwpxU9ufJ

I don't think they can do that without cutting something else somewhat big, at the very least. They were right up against the maximum amount before without this.

Yeah, which is insane since they were already having to kill tons of super popular deductions and having to raise taxes on a lot of middle class people

I guess the thinking must be that it's going to be super unpopular either way so why not go for broke?

They have to make sure they're still paid up to federal minimum wage still I think, but that's it. So essentially the managers could take all the tip money after they meet minimum wage and keep it themselves. When I waited tables, my manager was an asshole, so I could imagine at least some restaurants would do that. And keep in mind many places don't cover the difference even though they're supposed to. A lot of employees are uncomfortable asking about it.
