    The new criteria makes Virginians convicted of felonies eligible to vote immediately upon release from prison, even if they remain on community supervision. Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D) executive action reverses previous Virginia law, which stated that anyone convicted of a felony in the state would permanently lose their right to vote, serve on a jury, run for office, become a public notary or carry a firearm.
    ...
    The move by Northam followed a constitutional amendment approved by the state's 2021 General Assembly session that worked to restore voting and civil rights to formerly incarcerated felons. An update to Virginia Secretary of the Commonwealth Kelly Thomasson's website noted that the changes went into effect immediately, and that former felons looking to restore their firearm rights should contact their local circuit court.
    ...
    "Too many of our laws were written during a time of open racism and discrimination, and they still bear the traces of inequity," Northam said. He added, "We are a Commonwealth that believes in moving forward, not being tied down by the mistakes of our past. If we want people to return to our communities and participate in society, we must welcome them back fully—and this policy does just that."

Yes - My co workers who do not have children are lapping me for promotions. I believe that is largely due to the extra time they have to put toward work during the pandemic. The gender pay gap improves when fathers take more of a role in raising children. But a new pay gap will arise, non-parents vs. parents if we don't subsidize/incentivize raising up the next generation.


Somewhat - We have enough incentives for people to make a "business" of having ...
