We REALLY need term limits, but I can't see the politicians voting themselves off of the gravy train.
We need term limits and then we need an 8 year ban on lobbying immediatley after leaving elected office at any level.

Buttered cabbage is also awesome, in my opinion
New York state issued a blanket do-not-resuscitate directive last week instructing first-responders not to try to revive patients without a pulse amid increased call volumes and lack of resources during the coronavirus public health crisis, according to a report.
Paramedics were previously told to attempt to resuscitate a patient found in cardiac arrest for up to 20 minutes, the New York Post reported.
The new order is "necessary during the COVID-19 response to protect the health and safety of EMS providers by limiting their exposure, conserve resources, and ensure optimal use of equipment to save the greatest number of lives,'' according to a memo issued last week by the state Department of Health.
The memo insisted similar guidelines have been issued "in many areas of the U.S. as well as other locations throughout the world."
"These changes are based on standards widely agreed upon by the physician leaders of EMS Regional Medical Control Systems across NYS and the Medical Standards Committee of the State Emergency Medical Services Advisory Council," a health department spokesperson said in a statement.
This comes after the Regional Emergency Medical Services Council of New York, which oversees the city's ambulance service, instructed paramedics last month not to bring patients whose hearts could not be restarted at the scene into hospitals already overwhelmed with COVID-19 patients. That directive meant first responders could still try to revive patients at the scene for up to 20 minutes.
"They're not giving people a second chance to live anymore,'' Oren Barzilay, the president of Local 2507, Uniformed EMT's, Paramedics & Fire Inspectors Union, told the Post. "Our job is to bring patients back to life. This guideline takes that away from us."

You know what would really help push that through? Some lobbying.

Double like that one. Chinese buffet in our area did good on that one. Felt stupid for paying money to eat mostly just cabbage but it was so good.
You bet it is!
Yes, not sure about the ban on lobbying (not sure who lobbies in the bathroom) but definitely term limits as others need to use the facilities as well. Not to mention with paper not as available as it once was, we my want to replace a lobbying ban with a one square per wipe regulation.

I like to cut a head into four quarters leaving the core in to hold it all together, I cook it in a few cups of chicken brother for hours - makes it nice and etnder. Then turn the quarter so the round edge is on the plate, salt, pepper, and then let the butter melt in.
It is the closest I can come to being a vegetarian.

And tort reform... People being able to sue anybody for any reason with no financial repercussions is crazy.
We have term limits... They are called elections... The people from each district should have the right to choose represents them..
