Are you saying that the filing cabinets can't devour people by wrapping them up in paper?

Oh. That place. Well, anything but Journeys.

The DMV has Time, Fate, and Passion.

And the filing cabinets can but that's because they're remnant beasts.

No posts tonight. Still at work. US Tax System has more hit die than expected.

Taxes. They beat the alternative.

We were good, then they remembered that they also needed cash basis accounting to file the owner's taxes. That then had to be allocated by states where we have a tax locus. I've stitched together data from a dozen sources in a daisy chain of pivot tables, look ups, and conditionals that probably counts as a weak AI.

Pursuant, please:
I know that at higher levels of American politics, Candidates have 'running partners', who will become their Vice- should they win the elections.
Is that true of the lower levels of politics:  namely, running for Mayor?

Down to the state typically, with the size of the city affecting whether there's a secondary figure. Sometimes they're just the top two. Sometimes it's supposed to be a Loyal Opposition thing.

It literally varies across everything mentioned above. In some states every county might have a different structure.

San Francisco has a strong mayor and an elected council. Council makes laws, mayor administrates them and has some veto/approval powers. If the mayor is removed from office then one of the President of said Council gets the job until elections.

Sorry for the delay, I'm still here! Just a little flattened by real life recently.

So I assume we'll run with that same process for L.A.?

There is no beta/Vice Mayor with the authority to step up if the Mayor is removed from office?


(just making sure I know the lay of the political land in the game; so I can plan)

Personally, I'd have to ask wikipedia.

City Council selects interim mayors in Los Angeles.

Sorry for the delay, been quite sick the past few days. I'll get a post up Soon^TM.

Sorry folks, my mum ended up in hospital, and family stuff is going crazy.  It'll likely be a few more days before i get to post again

Take care of yourself, her, and your family. No apologies needed and best wishes.

Ya luv. Get you and yours good.

Thanks folks.  It was a small turn, that lead to a small fall.
It's all goodish now.

In reply to Bodie Queen (msg # 146):

Good to hear things are going better :)

I'm expecting even more turmoil later this week, so I'll try to get some posts in in the meantime!

Hullo bubbies. At all costs, stay animate.

In all things Real Life, I always try to land on my feet.
I usually, however, land on my head.    Which explains a lot.

Falling damage isn't all it's cracked up to be.

… but the damage to the concrete often is.

Don't worry. It's not your as-fault.

oh nice.  I like that.  Well done.
