TL;DR It's hard to get photo ID for old people in #Ohio

Photo ID and voting has been in the news a lot lately for the purpose of manipulating the election turnout. I'm not sure what Ohio changed already, I know they have a nightmare photo scheme they are pushing through laws

Here's how it is going

When my brother died this week, we inherited my 85-year old aunt. She needed a photo ID for banking issue, changing account info, etc. and my brother, who has been her caretaker for 10 years, had it and we haven't found it yet.

The BMV wouldn't accept her driver's license that expired in 2022 that was in their system because it was too old to use to issue an ID.

Even though she had a driver's license for most of her life, that expired in 2022, to get a new photo ID we have to track down her divorce decree from over 60 years ago because she uses her former married last name before her new married last name.

What the GOP has already done is bad. What they are planning to do is horrendous.

tl;dr memories of poverty as a kid: Growing up #GenX poor, being raised by turn of the century grandparents (1908 and 1912) who were coalminers, almost all of my clothes were hand-me-downs and had patches. I was so happy when faded jackets and patched jeans became a fad. lol.

Thinking about this economy, we pretty much ate what we grew, even in the winter. Lots of beans. Pinto beans we grew was the staple of every meal. Only thing we really bought was bread, milk and meat. Even then, some of the meat we raised. Even then, the bread was skillet bread or baked breads we made. A lot of skillet bread.

All our vegetables we canned.

I remember preparing the green beans as shelly beans. Stringing them. After they were dried, they lived in a pillow case until they were ready to be cooked. Many, many pillow cases.

I really wished I had paid attention to the details of the process of her canning. Seasonings, methods, etc. Mamaw used a big iron pot in the backyard of the house to do her canning. Canning day was a big family event and fond memories.

The butchering is stamped on my eyeballs like caskets of eternity. lol. I remember every traumatic step of that (as a four or five year old).

Stephen Colbert's new YouTube channel. He also did another 'Only in Monroe' community access episode. In 2015, he hosted a show that was segued into his new gig at The Late Show. Some consider it episode one of The Late Show. It's only fitting that he ends his run at The Late Show with an episode of 'Only in Monroe.' CBS and #TheLateShow produced and paid for the episode and holds copyright to it. Earlier today, CBS was issuing takedowns of bootleg uploads of it because #StephenColbert hadn't posted it yet on his new, personal channel at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJTXB5uT_C4. As a result of the bootleg uploads, Colbert's new, personal account is lagging in follows and views of the official episode. Here it is:

For every political ad on TV this election cycle, there should be 2 truthful ones 15 seconds long, that says, "On January 20, 2025, X cost $. Now, it costs $. Trump did that" #USPol
