2024 Legislative Session Thread

[rbhargan]

I managed to get the Vernon Shush clip -- not the best I've done with capturing and editing a video, but here it is.

It says the video is marked private and not viewable.

Should work now.

 

[BigMoose]

I also figured it out. LOL

Want examples of banking or credit union institutions setting up mechanisms to block people from using their money for legitimate firearms and ammo purchase purposes?

From Georgia United Credit Union's EULA [emphases mine]. .

Took me a while to find this . . . I got the name of the institution from Jared Yanis' (Guns and Gadgets) YouTube video.

Can you expand on this? Cliffsnote version is fine. I'm just curious where/how credit unions draw your uneasiness.

It was the guy speaking for credit unions. I was not impressed.

Ahh. I thought maybe there was an aspect with them that was specific to guns or gun purchases. I've been a credit union member for 28yrs. Good experience for me so far.
Also, just a quick thank you for spending your time at the statehouse and sharing the ins and outs of the process.

 

[BigMoose]

Whats next for committee hearings anyway.

I have more wisearse energy to expend.

The 2 bills from this week will be up in committee in the Senate (after 2nd reading/amendments/3rd reading/vote)

SB 28 (social credit scores) may be up next week, might not. HB 1084 from yesterday was a more narrow scope on the same thing. Again, what I'm hearing... I heard hearing this week so...

Not warm or fuzzy with the tax credit bill (HB 1144) since the blasted Medicaid estimate was $1 billion short. Sounds like they need better Analysts.

Aw man! SB 241 (Taking Bobcats) was in committee yesterday. Passed 7-1, Fady voted against it of course! If that doesn't earn mockery nothing does.

Sir: please, what is a social credit score?

 

[KellyinAvon]

Sir: please, what is a social credit score?

I'm glad you asked! Social credit scores were started by the Chinese communists to control the population. Supports freedom? You don't get a loan. Debit card won't work to buy guns/ammo. Driving too much? Using too much electricity? Called John Kerry "Botox Lerch" on social media? All drive the score lower.

I have 5 minutes on this if it gets a hearing.
