I don't know much about the Voting Rights Act, but i do know it has provisions that can be applied to state and local government to prevent the "dilution" of votes resulting from government actions such as annexation and gerrymandering.

It would seem like allowing illegals to vote and shoddy voting security would be a major dilution of voting rights. I wonder if the President can take action based on the Voting Rights Act?

Consider no sauce and just use fresh sliced tomato and basil. It would probably go great with some shrimp too.

Under current tax law, you and your wife would be in the 12% federal tax bracket until your income exceeds about $`132,000.

Social Security changes that slightly, usually in the favorable direction.

You should estimate what you think future tax brackets will be, then figure out about how your income will fall into those brackets. I suspect the lower brackets will not change much in the future.

The Roth has many advantages in flexibility, but it probably wouldn't be worth paying 22% or 24% fed taxes now to avoid paying 12% later. It does offer flexibility that can help with RMD's or major purchases/expenses, but it doesn't mean it is automatically better.

Mexico stole from Indians

The Aztecs stole from other Indians. They were invaders. They took the sighting of an eagle preying on a snake as a sign that they should build their city there and conquer the other tribes. That site is now Mexico City. Mexico then depicted the Eagle preying on the Snake on their national flag, thus celebrating an invader conquering, colonizing, and enslaving.

I can’t get a straight answer on Reddit

Reddit doesn't like the answer, so it won't allow a straight answer to be posted there.

It was one hole or one crack in one part of the leading edge of one of the wings. When they reentered, that breach allowed hot gasses to penetrate the substructure, which made the breach grow and spread and eventually eroded the leading edge of the wing and lead to catastrophe. I don't remember if the shuttle tumbled, but it eventually broke up. Remains of all seven were identified, so that really ought to answer the question above.

I worked for Lockheed at Kennedy Space Center in the late 80's early 90's. Maybe a week or two before the Columbia disaster, I was telling a co-worker about it, and he asked "Do you think they are going to lose another one?". I said "Yes, and I will tell you how". I then described the leading edge sub-system thermal protection and explained how I thought it would fail some day in the tiles immediately adjacent to the RCC panels. I was wrong, the RCC panel itself cracked or was punctured, something I had never seen, and I don't think anyone I worked with had seen either, though we did have a process to repair those panels. Most damage to the Space Shuttle heat shield happened on the ground. The tiles are extremely fragile.

Just a casual observation, but doesn't activity like this seemed to often be linked to a Nurses Union?
