6. For instance, how many employees have children and wouldn’t be eligible as it does not cover night employees that would need to use it in hours where child care centers aren’t open. Should you know this figure before proposing the implementation?

5. As a follow up, according to sunshined emails, President Green’s policy director solicited WePower to place staff in President Green’s office. WePower offered names and asked for millions from the Rams funding for childcare. Do you think this caused a conflict of interest?

3. According to the survey report’s appendix, canvassing efforts were done at St Louis Child Care Centers with paper surveys. It resulted in roughly 450-ish paper surveys. Do you think this influenced the result? If not, what measures were done to ensure that it had no bias.

2. The top result of the survey was water why did the Board go against the democratic result and put it on the informal calendar on Tuesday

(Sorry, lengthy. Actually logged in for the first time in months for this).

1. Why was no independent audit of the survey done? As there was no coordination with canvassers whatsoever, what was the oversight performed to ensure result integrity?

There’s 2 donut shops opening within like 3 blocks of another donut shop (they’re all cool with each other) in my neighborhood. Bevo Mill rocks.

Death is real
Someone's there and then they're not
And it's not for singing about
It's not for making into art
When real death enters the house, all poetry is dumb
When I walk into the room where you were
And look into the emptiness instead
All fails
My knees fail
My brain fails
Words fail
Crusted with tears, catatonic and raw I go downstairs and outside and you still get mail
A week after you died a package with your name on it came And inside was a gift for our daughter you had ordered in secret
And collapsed there on the front steps I wailed
A backpack for when she goes to school a couple years from now
You were thinking ahead to a future you must have known
Deep down would not include you
Though you clawed at the cliff you were sliding down
Being swallowed into a silence that's bottomless and real
It's dumb
And I don't want to learn anything from this
I Love you

So, are those “parks closed for restoration” downtown just never going to open again? It’d be nice to enjoy one of the few remaining spots of greenery…

This isn’t uplifting. It shouldn’t be happening. The fact that it is, is an indictment of our country as a whole.

HEALTHCARE IS A HUMAN RIGHT AND SHOULD BE FREE.

Get a few beers in me and I will tie everything in life to the film Blade, in which a lot of motherfuckers are always trying to ice skate uphill.

There’s no polls on this yet but have you seen Blade yet? I’m betting @maxhavey.bsky.social $5 that more than 50% of respondents will say yes
