@EldenRay @dieworkwear Surely there are some situations where this would not be true. Looking very underdressed or overdressed doesn’t impress anyone.

@allshiny @GuudGuyGreg @dieworkwear Surely it’s a matter of degrees and there are some things you could wear to attract greater or lesser amounts of attention.

@5280FT @Yimbyindenver The law would make it so that the government can’t restrict the use of private property without a compelling public interest. So I don’t think they would be able to do that.

@5280FT @Yimbyindenver This law would give private owners vastly more control over their property - it would actually be a radical shift away from forcing owners to comply with local rules.

@jimmyfswanson @DeepNotShallow We need to balance the budget by raising taxes and probably pushing social security retirement ages back a little. Cutting taxes without cutting spending is stupid, and nobody really wants to cut spending.

@AliceFromQueens Would people believe he wasn’t drinking given he went to a bar and ordered a drink that was then served to him?

@lemjen97 @JoshuaBarzon Probably the majority of Nebraska’ population is east of the westernmost border of Minnesota, so seems like it should be included.

@tylerscollins @moseskagan If the market is oversupplied, wouldn’t that just lead to a lot of vacancies?
