I really like the idea of a 410 handgun, but I live in NY.

Extending on your thoughts…

If the father doesn’t sign the B.C., the kid is a ward of the state. That’s a decent way to siphon lots of taxpayer money into the pockets of that same list for years to come. Condemning that poor kid to extended suffering.

Also, who will pay for the care given until the birth? I’m going to assume that the hospital is insured against public care situations. I can easily imagine pushback from insurance companies about the impact of this policy. If they refuse to pay, the hospital has some very mixed incentives. That alone can lead to pressure to fix things. If it becomes profit or conservative morality, I expect that profit will win out.

I want you to know that I see you. I regret that we don’t live anywhere near each other.

In my youth, I sewed my historical recreation garb (poorly). While I can’t program, or do UX, I have worked with folks that did that while I managed the server side of things. And I have some experience in visual art.

I am also a decent listener. I’d be happy to listen to whatever you want to talk about. DM me?

…in the 80s.

Thank you for reading and responding. It has become an important part of how I view myself.

Even the word itself.

The original Fasci Siciliani were poor peasants protesting for basic human, labor, and civil rights. Mussolini co-opted the word in order to ride into power on a populist wave.

My Great Great Grandfather was one of the 18 killed in the Marineo massacre of Jan 3 1894. He didn’t want to be a martyr for the cause. His widow managed to escape further persecution with their children to the tenements of lower Manhattan.

My Grandfather was named after him, and I was named after my grandfather.

And no mention of Italy?

Don’t forget mouse traps and other ways of keeping them safe from vermin.
