what do you think about this policy idea?

  1. A  work program for teens and young adults up to the age of 20 where as long as they are in the program, what they make does not affect their parents' benefits to help them get off government assistance.
  2. They are required to put 80% of what they earn in a locked savings account they get access to when they turn 20.
  3.  The remaining 20% could be a good tool to teach them how to budget and manage money. If the bank account has at least a 5% interest rate, then by the time they turn 20 they should have enough to move out on their own and not need welfare.
  4. They would not need to sign up for government assistance, which in the long term, can save the government a lot of money that can be spent elsewhere.

 This proposal would make both the left and right side of the political spectrum happy.

  •  It would make the left happy because they would get the help they want for young adults and teens who feel trapped in the system and the plan also creates generational wealth.
  • It appeases the right because it also gives them discipline from working and responsibility from managing their money and is not just a government handout.

It would stump politicians because this is an issue from which no politician can afford to look the other way. Anyone who votes against this would be actively voting to keep families trapped on welfare. If a conservative votes against it, they would look hypocritical because they always talk about work ethic, personal responsibility and ending dependency on government assistance. If a liberal votes against it, they would look hypocritical because they claim to want to help disadvantaged youth and end poverty cycles.

Overall, I believe this policy would benefit the people by giving this next generation and future generations a way to become independent from government assistance. It would also be saving money for the state and giving them more resources to be used elsewhere.

Can anyone help me find a backpack?

I need to find a blue pastel backpack I can sew embroider patches on for school. It's my senior year of high school and my school has a tradition where since you start your school career with a little kid backpack in preschool/ kindergarten you end with one your senior year too, but most are too small and there are none for highschoolers so I'm just gonna make my own.

I saw a picture of one where they said this episode is called senior year. I'm going to order some custom embroider patches online to make my own except it's going to say

This episode of Bluey is called...

SENIOR YEAR!

and also, one patch with blue and one patch with bingo both wearing graduation caps and holding diplomas

I want to find a backpack that does not have a bunch of pockets on the front so i have room to sew the patches on but I still want it to have lots of pockets on the inside and room for my laptop. I also really want it to have a hip belt on it because i have back problems and they help distribute the weight (the picture is an example of a hip belt if you don't know what a hip belt is)

I just turned 18 and had an idea to fix jury duty. Thoughts?

Basically, I just turned 18 and have recently learned what jury duty is and want to do it but obviously there is no way to volunteer in California where I live. What if they allow people to fill out a form and volunteer to do jury duty but once they send in the form and are approved, they are sent a letter back saying they are approved and should expect to be called to jury duty within 2-12 months. like normal jury duty they would not get to pick what case they do to prevent bias, and they would have to go through the normal process of voir dire. this would also help the problem of the possibility of everyone in the jury not wanting to be there and the trial being unfair and lessons the possibility of someone being called in multiple years in a row (one of my mom's friends was called in 3 years in a row). To prevent someone becoming a professional juror there would be a buffer where you cannot volunteer consecutively. To protect the right to a random jury the volunteer jurors would join the jurors who were made to be there and there would be a max of 2-3 voluntary jurors per jury

If Tony stark were to somehow come back to life and find out Peter has nothing, not even his name how do you think he would react?

Peter's the *only* reason tony agreed to the whole time heist and risked being there for his family and daughter. i think if he found this out it would destroy him because how much he wanted to protect him.

(asume just for the senerio he is the only one who remembers peter)
