Northeast Assembly Thread

[cinyc]

I'm tabling this. That means it is removed from the floor.

You can't do that right now.  We're in the middle of a vote.

[Alexander Hamilton]

I'm tabling this. That means it is removed from the floor.

You can't do that until the amendment vote is final.

Okay, fine. But if any of the first three amendments pass, consider this tabled by the sponsor.

Noted.  That is your right as sponsor under Section 3(e) of the SOAP.   

Arguably, I have the power to table it right now and move on to the next bill, but I prefer not to do so before all Northeast Representatives have had an opportunity to vote on the proposed amendments.  Plus, I don't want to go off-schedule in introducing new bills and votes at a semi-sane hour (around 8PM Eastern) instead of creeping into the wee hours of the morning Eastern time.

this won't have the votes to pass unless Smid supports it. Which I would doubt.

I agree "smell" amendment is a joke.

But there are things like gender orientation we should not ignore.

gender identity is a stupid concept. Size is even worse. I don't need to have sympathy for overeaters, let alone have the government not work with those who don't hire a huge person. Next we know the government is going to have to super size everything.

smell is more reasonable than the other two.

I'd rather recomment Dr Cynic to withdraw size thing and merge it into anti his Obese disrcriminatory act, modified into anti obese and size discriminatory.

My question on the gender identity issue was never even addressed.

This is not about sympathy, but about justice.

Size and smell are both choices.

Lose weight and take a shower.

Obesity is a disorded. It's not work that way "hey, lose weight".

Obesity is an illness.

An illness one brings upon oneself by making poor personal choices. There are consequences to be faced. A company shouldn't be forced to bear the burden because a potential employee can't fit through their front door.

In the case you didn't knew that, overeating isn't always the cause of obesity.

This bill says size, not obesity. Some companies mightnot even own equipment these big/tall/short people can operate. Obesity is a choice. If it is causedby someother precondition, it would already be covered by disability. This is a useless and dangerous addition brought up by special interests.

taking bill a hostage

Saving a bill from being destroyed by kooks.

In what way am I a kook for including size? There is evidence that large people like myself are discriminated against in the workplace. By the way, I don't see why my size makes me any different if I can do the job. I do this job, don't I? I also probably make more money than you on the outside world, since I earn more than 300,000 dollars a year before taxes. So, tell me why if a large person can't do the job they shouldn't be included.

Oh, if you table this bill, I'm sure I'll find a way with my fellow sane Reps to work around your obstructionsit policies.
