Reply to comment by Exodys03 in Pennsylvania latest to eliminate college degree requirements for most state jobs by Created-being
Civil Service tests are still used--and unreliable! I applied for the same position in two service regions at the same time with the same answers to the same questions and got a score of 70 on one and 100 on the other...

This is why I make sure to show up in person. Everyone who is able to and can absolutely ensure they will not miss voting should do so over vote by mail; not because vote by mail as a concept doesn't work, but because of Republican chicanery like this.

The word "brutal" implies enacted violence. Consensual ritual branding is arguably not "brutal." Something isn't brutal just because it's painful; it's the presumably nonconsensual nature of the branding plus the pain that would make it so.
