    Most likely, you've just never knew about it. It's usually a small bit in the bottom corner of any page except the front page of the local newspaper. But, yes, everywhere in the US, every local taxing body has elections that the public can attend and vote. This is how property taxes work. People want to bitch at the assessor without any knowledge of how lack of action on your part results in higher taxes. It's just easier to blame the assessor.

    I viewed them as basically the same poster, which is why I got them mixed up.

    I just checked, and "Last Man Standing" was on for 9 seasons, and 10 years.
    And now it'll be syndicated forever and ever.

    Poor Tim Allen.
    Poor little Tim Allen.
    The woke mob destroyed him.

    And by "the woke mob" I mean America, and by "destroyed him" I mean made him richer and more immortal.

    Poor little fella.
    Just trying to get by in this rough old ragamuffin world.
    Sniffle.

    I have more "when cancelling goes wrong!"

    https://www.outkick.com/sports/family-of-kid-accuseds-of-blackface-sues-deadspin

    Deadspin - ugh, I know - are in a bit of trouble. Back in November they published a story about a nine year old kid in blackface at a Chiefs football game. They published the photo on the left along with a scathing article when in actual fact the kid had both sides of his face painted, seen on the right:

    [​IMG]

    They tried to bury the kid, the first paragraph of the article claimed the kid "hated both black people and Native Americans."

    Turns out, the kid is also part Native American

    [​IMG]

    So now, naturally, after the kid had to endure death threats, insults and Deadspin threatening to sue them (!) the family are suing the ever loving fuck out of Deadspin

    You hate to see it

    I suspect given the ceremonial garb being worn in such an inappropriately appropriative manner, the claims to a partial native heritage are... I don't wanna say tenuous, but likely not very direct nor participatory. Like in the "my great great great great gramma wuz an injun princess" sorta way.

    I mean, I can total up about 1/6 of my heritage being a combination of cultures, but I've got absolutely ZERO lived experience (i.e. residential schools or rez living), and am pretty white passing. Therefore, no real claim to the culture or it's symbols, especially the sacred ones.
