Self aggrandizement is not decor.

Calm down. It is going to try to play with the election. This really isn't a big deal. Voter roll maintenance requires states to give notice to contested voters with an opportunity to cure. That system is shut down 90 days before an election. Granted it's a pain in the butt but it ain't fatal.

For those that want to denigrate private security screening should show up any morning at a Harris County court's building. We're talking close to a 100 courts each setting dozens or more hearings at 8 and 9 a.m. It's a s**t ton of people at the same time every day. The screenings back people out the doors of the huge lobbies. The screeners perform professionally and efficiently. You usually don't spend more than about 15 20 minutes in line. It's all supervised by LE.

Privatization can work, the question is whether it's done rationally and locally or by a buffoons somewhere else.

A government employee union publication complains about "privatization" i.e. a dues payor may loose a job. Color me surprised. Here's the article's description of what's up:

It's also not the only attempt by TSA to expand the privatization of airport security. The administration's fiscal 2027 budget proposes to eliminate 8,400 TSO positions " roughly 14% of TSA's screening workforce. About 4,500 of those positions would be replaced by private contractors through a proposed mandatory expansion of the Screening Partnership Program to include all small and non-hub airports, known as Categories III and IV, respectively. Currently about 20 of the nation's 440 commercial airports have opted to use private screening, but the administration's proposal would expand that number more than tenfold to about 220 airports.

I haven't had to change hand usage because of RTSA but I have pretty much lost all fine motor skills. My handwriting went from decent to horrible.

I write right, bat right, shoot right, throw left, tennis left, eat left, saw left, screwdriver and wrench mostly right. It really helps when painting in wall corners, I can use either hand.

Only my Dad gave a crap about being right handed. Nobody else in my life gave a s**t. So I just did and still do whatever feels comfortable.
