I found the problem

It's the synchronization of 50 individual states that's the trick. Countries with many states have slower bureaucracies. They don't all have the same budget to organize elections. Sure, Florida Texas new York and California could probably do it fast. But Alaska or Wyoming?

Colorado runs their elections in person in some of their smaller districts. The entire voting population meets at the school auditorium and debate and discuss until they can assign their electors to a candidate. It's a tradition that's as old as the state.

Every state has unique needs and budgets to provide voting to their citizens. Some states make it easier for citizens to vote. Some make it harder. When planning a national election you must be considerate of the states that make it harder to vote.

Open carry is legal in that region. The shooter was well outside of the rally and well within his 2nd amendment rights to be open carrying.

A rational person would say that he voided his rights as soon as he started eyeing the rally through his scope. But the 'goodguy with a gun' cult is far from rational.

I got some buldak instant noodles to try. They are very very spicy. Ive definitely been served spicier foods at restaurants, but i dont think ive ever had a spicier instant ramen packet

If you define useful tools as "crap" then i can see why it's illogical too you.

I do not define tools as useless "paraphernalia." I carry enough things with me to get my bike back on the and me to my destination without having to rely on anyone else. If i flat 3 tires on my hour long bike commute, but ive only got 2 CO2 carts, then that pump is going to get me home.

My pump doesnt go in my bag it's strapped to my frame. When im commuting im carrying lunch, and a change of clothes. What is a few extra ounces fit piece of mind?

I like commuting on lightweight tires and standard butyl tubes because the lowered rotational weight is much more noticeable than the static weight of an extra co2 cartridge, tube and pump. I commute on the same road bike I use for fun.

Airing up my bike before i leave in the morning and not riding in the gutter means I'm not putting my tires where all the thorns and road debris is located.

Im not gram conscious. And i think it's a little ironic that you are considering how heavy you've made your wheels in the name of flat protection.

Trump had a detailed and well founded plan to end the ADA and build a wall on america's southern border.

Im sure Trump also has a detailled and well founded plan to run a casino as well

Some people (myself included) like having a pump in addition to a couple CO2 carts just to be prepared
