"since the financial crisis" - You'll have to be more specific than that ๐Ÿฅฒ

I was really hoping the second forgiveness plan would automatically include those that were approved for the first plan :/

Exactly. I was going to reply to the original commenter saying, like, you know he's still got 3 other trials actively in progress right? (Well, 1 of those is indefinitely halted, but still).

The last poll considered in that link occurred on March 2-4. So the results seem outdated in regards to the recent convictions.

So your advice is: 1) don't pay it and 2) work and live in a different country. Super reasonable! /s

At the risk of overanalyzing a web comic, I feel it's worth cautioning that this screams toxic nice guy syndrome.

Why? You're disappointed with the explanation? Disagree with it? Or you don't like its somewhat informal tone? I thought it was well written, enjoyed the information / humor, and can respect the explanation.

I appreciate the spirited response, but you're misunderstanding things.

Arizona, like 14 other states in the U.S., allows its governors to appoint justices to its highest court but gives voters the opportunity to vote them out later on. In Arizona, the initial retention vote takes place two years after justices are appointed. If a justice is not voted out, they will face another retention vote every six years; if they are removed, the current governor is allowed to appoint a new person to the state Supreme Court, albeit from a list provided by a statewide judicial commission.

The previous post was merely attempting to specify how to "vote out" judges facing a retention vote.

Calculating the total number of hours that one sees their parents, and then dividing that total by 24 to determine the "number of days" they've spent with their parents is misleading and nonsensical. You yourself spend nearly every other day with your folks and, through your math, you've calculated that you're "really only" spending 5% (1.6 years / 30 years) of your time with them. This reminds me of (though is not nearly as bad as) this "A Day Off" anti-time-off propaganda.
