Why can't a state have any kind of voting laws that it wants when it comes to just when voting happens?
and even have election day voting only, and only in the hours between say 11:00am and 4:00pm. Sure some people will get upset, but if the legislature passes that law, its the law, and who has the power to force them to open up voting for more hours and why, should anyone outside of that state think they can tell them what to do if the state wants it that way?

So one arguments the right winger Supreme Court used to dismantle Voting Rights Act was that the South had changed, the Law was not needed?
So, it was not necessary to have rules in place that said States making certain voting law changes could not be doing them to sneakily oppress certain types of voters or make it harder for them to vote. Why have a review system to make sure a thing was not happening when clearly it was no longer happening.
But a strange thing happened as soon as the law was dismantled. Now that the States voting law changed were no longer supervised, the very thing the protections were there to protect against started happening like crazy,
My question is this. When this comes again in front of the Supreme Court as it will soon due to so many new State Voting Law changes that are alleged to be discriminatory and make it harder for certain classes of voters to vote, what will the right wingers justices now argue is their reason for not reinstating the protections?
Someone who does not care to understand how the changes harm certain voters will never see it. The fact remains, that even the smallest voting law changes that seem innocent can have a greater impact on certain groups of voters. Let us say you generally cut early voting down from 4 weeks before the election to 2 weeks, or you reduce the number of places people can vote by half, or cut down the hours when you can vote on election day, or make it extremely difficult to vote by mail, how is that discriminatory some may ask? Well, for one if you make it so that people have to invest more of their time waiting in lines to vote,

why did trump lose ; the election was rigged or that he lost because he didn't take coronavirus serious ? ?
Favourite answer:Trump lost mainly because he didn't take virus seriously
Other factors were his constant azzkissing of Putin, his constant lying, his constant slander and libel of others and his making the USA a worldwide laughing stock

How far back in time can you challenge a will?
My grandmother was the daughter of a rich businessman but he forced her to eloped with my grandfather after her mother died, he remarried and was going to marry her off to one of his business colleagues as an 18 year old. After remarrying he cut his daughter out of his will we think at the urging of his new wife. I spoke to his grandson from his second wife, and he said he lived in the same village as the properties left in my g grandfather's will. As soon as I mentioned this this grandson stopped communicating with me. His suspicious behaviour suggests he was frightened. I thought there was probably some statute of limitations, but I'd love to know if wills dating back over 50 years can be challenged.

does joe Biden really live in the white house? what about kamala Harris? who else is in washington dc.? is it just empty ,armed camp now?
Favourite answer:Yes, Joe Biden, and First Lady Jill Biden, really lives in the White House. The building combines office space, located in the West Wing, with a residence, located in the East Wing.
The Vice President does not live in the White House. The VP's official residence is Number One Observatory Circle, a residence on the grounds of the US Naval Observatory, a fair distance away from the White House. However, the residence is currently undergoing renovations, so Vice President Kamala Harris, and her husband Doug Emhoff, are living in Blair House, a group of buildings across from the White House which is used as a guest residence for important Presidential visitors.

can capitalism help homeless people and poor people?
Favourite answer:Unlimited capitalism widens the gaps in class distinction. Both capitalism and socialistic properties are used in all first world countries in it's best interest. Both need limitations. The bane of capitalism is corruption. Unions help to limit capitalism because they set the standard for what labor is worth which digs into company profit and narrows the gaps.
