Sure.

Right up until it revolts and joins with the Cylons in their holy war against humanity!

Well it is Ashbury so....

I go for the witty banter.

I go to read the menu....

I go there only because it is so convenient. The Hooters in Gulfport is right next to the hotel I always stay at. I never look at the wait staff.

The kid and I tend to roll to Twin Peaks for the cheeseburgers.

Unionizing Is Now on Track to Be a Constitutional Right in Illinois. Here’s How It Happened.​

“I have my freedom of speech rights, my religious rights, my voting rights, on and on. Now a worker can say they have the right under the Illinois constitution to go into their workplace and organize, collectively bargain, talk to their coworkers, and approach management and say they want a change,” Drea said.

Pointing to the Supreme Court’s recent overturning of Roe v. Wade and the resulting scramble by many states to enshrine abortion rights in their constitutions, Polous said the main point of the WRA is to be a forward-thinking safeguard in case either the Supreme Court or Congress erodes workplace rights in the future.

“The short-term consequence [of the amendment] is a real protection of existing rights. But the long-term consequence of it is a proactive approach by labor to say we’re not going to wait for the sky to fall,” Polous explained.

The passage of the WRA comes alongside other successes for progressive ballot measures across the country. In Washington, D.C., voters approved a plan to raise the minimum wage for tipped workers, and in Nebraska, voters supported raising the minimum wage from $9 an hour to $15 (a similar measure raising the minimum wage to $12 an hour also appears on the verge of passage in Nevada). Meanwhile, voters in New Mexico approved an initiative to expand child care access through funds from fossil fuel revenue, and in Massachusetts, voters decided to institute a “millionaires tax” to help fund education and infrastructure in the state.

Holly R. of Chicago DSA says of the WRA in Illinois: “This amendment was a huge opportunity to educate the voters on … the protections they could lose if the wrong politicians are in office, and how a constitutional amendment will protect them from that danger.”
