MODERATORS
An ignorant and unengaged electorate is just asking for it. When you're rich they let you do it, you can do anything.
I remind my friends all the time to pay attention. I plead with them to vote, but they just don't care. They think everyone is corrupt and nothing matters. I'm the only one in my friends group that gives a damn. Honestly, I think this country is cooked. I don't see any way other than pain to cure this apathy.
That's tragic. I'm appealing to people who believe far-right conspiracies (without realising the source is far-right) to be careful of what they consume, but they're voting.
This is when a group of like minded, engaged citizens should band together with their own NDA. That way if the towns elected officials suddenly went missing, they wouldn't be at liberty to discuss it. Although they would all have each other as an alibi, so it would help ensure police don't waste a lot of time looking into obviously innocent people.
Peak corruption
Because none of you Americans have put up a fight. Y'all just rolled over and let Fascism win.
That's not true, they fought 200 schoolgirls in Iran and wiped them out.
Michigan Constitution Art. 4 § 11 protects state legislators from liability for speech in the legislature. A similar clause that applies to local councillors would prevent these sorts of contracts because they wouldn't be binding; the councillors could openly violate the non-disclosure agreement during the council sessions and would be immune from liability for breaching the agreement. That being said, being legally allowed to speak won't persuade a person who doesn't want to speak from staying silent. If the company in question offered a huge bribe to not talk, that's not something that can be solved by the legislature. That's a problem for the prosecutor's office.
