Because the point of it is not really to right an injustice, but that convicts are more likely to vote for Democrats and even a small increase of votes could have an outsize impact on Dem candidates in Swing States.   The point of it is simply to create additional voters, exactly the same reason why extending the vote…

None of those things have anything to do with a person’s politics.

People who show no responsibility or care towards laws should not be able to have a say in how those laws are created and enacted.

As someone who has moved more to the left as he got older, it really stuns me how badly the left misunderstands the voting public. Not that I condone the manipulation that is part of our political world, but pretty much every liberal arts major I know who majored in psychology is a Democrat, and yet somehow just have…

What you are really accomplishing, in scraping the bottom of the barrel for these votes in abject desperation, is making many Americans regret supporting voting rights for ex cons on the principle of “Give them an inch and they take a mile.”

Passport PSA:

Better pro-tip is never use a debit card to buy anything because when it inevitably gets hacked, the money that gets stolen is YOUR money, not the bank’s/CC company’s. 

I do routine maintenance as well...just did brakes on the Yukon last week...but oil changes are messy and then the disposal problem...so I have them do it (Ferney’s in Littleton Colorado). It may be hard to imaging but there was a time when people dumped their used oil in a corner of their property. Just let it soak…

Between work travel, and extensive personal travel, I have stayed in countless hotel rooms.

Suggesting tipping $10/person/day is a good advertisement for using Airbnb instead of hotels. 

No. The assumption is that if you are paid a normal wage any tip would be fore going above and beyond in what you did. To many expect tips now a days. Dunkin has tip jars so does star bucks. Are they wait staff? No, they get paid a regular hourly wage and all they did was get my coffee (I don't get fancy drinks, just…

Do not tip your hotel staff! A few exceptions, tip the person who brings up your bags and tip room service.

Exactly. When I book a hotel room I am renting a room to stay in for X number of nights, not renting a room for X number of nights and also responsible for the job duties and wages of people working in the hotel. I’m not going to trash the place or leave the toilet unflushed when I leave but that’s about where it ends.

I think this is the most that can and should be reasonably expected of a hotel patron. And flushing the toilet -- wtf.

Tip. ($10/day, per person who stayed) If your stay is multiple days, tip every day you expect cleaning service. Seriously.

I leave the DND sign up because I prefer they stay out. It’s not that I am hiding anything, I would just prefer they not come in, and I don’t need the service. I realize it’s not a legally binding contract. In all the many, many hotels I have stayed at, I have never come back to find my room clean when I left the DND…

I fall somewhere in the middle, mostly because I don’t want to live like a slob. Garbage goes in trash cans, spills get wiped up and things go back in their place. But I don’t strip the bed or pile up all the towels. 

Lolwut? $10/day/person?! So for a week long trip, a small family (or group of friends) could tip a few hundred dollars?

I typically leave the “Do Not Disturb” sign on from when I get there to when I leave because I’d rather they not try and clean up after me when I’m an adult perfectly capable of doing so, what may appear to be a mess to them was intentional. So then logically a “few dollars a day” tip would make no sense, right? Just…

Hotels charge hundreds of dollars a night for a room and we’re supposed to supplement their staff’s wages on top of that? Actually, they’re incentivizing us to not even use the service by offering points for not using housekeeping services at all. Which I find additionally mean to their employees (hey you get to work…
