I just hope that everyone who has this realization that the long line voting situation at Diversity Thrift today is one that a solid swath of people have to deal with every single time they want to vote on something.

This situation was precarious due to Youngkin being a fucking asshole and setting a very short timeline for primaries that state parties had to organize without the VA BoE throwing their weight around to secure public locations.

Most of the time, though, things are very purposefully set up to make sure that a lot of people that fit certain demographic boxes have the exact same reaction as OP and skip voting.

Hard disagree here. I have a very high tolerance for bullshit grunt work, and a proclivity for doing things myself instead of spending money, but redoing insulation in an attack is a bridge too far for me. I've done it on previous homes, and it's worked and made the difference I was hoping for, but it was brutal fucking work.

You'll end up spending a whole weekend balancing on your hands and knees on ceiling joists, trying to crawl through a stuffy attic carrying a giant piece of fiberglass, having to position that piece into place, and then repeat that process a hundred times.

It's totally doable to DIY, but if you've got the money this is definitely a task worth outsourcing.
