The poll found “historic interest in the upcoming election” among voters between the ages of 18 and 29, as 63 percent of these voters say they will “definitely” be voting this year, up from just 47 percent who said the same at this time in 2016.

Her name is now Justice Amy Coney Barrett. She was confirmed on Monday as the 115th justice to serve on the Supreme Court. She joins the bench today and takes the bench for oral arguments next week. She took the oath on Monday evening on the South Lawn of the White House, where her nomination just months ago became a superspreader event for Covid. Even though fewer people were present, no one wore a mask. Coney Barrett is the fifth woman to serve on the Supreme Court.

The Golden State Rush

You know the California exodus is serious when the Hollywood stars start to leave. That is exactly what Kiss star Gene Simmons is doing. He has listed his $22 million home for sale because he says that California’s tax rates are “unacceptable.” Simmons and his wife are moving to Mount Rainier, Washington, where they found a 24-acre estate. Washington has no personal income tax. California’s income tax rate is 12.3% for top earners, which we can all surmise that Simmons is. “California and Beverly Hills have been treating folks that create jobs badly and the tax rates are unacceptable,” Simmons told the Wall Street Journal. “I work hard and pay my taxes and I don’t want to cry the Beverly Hills blues, but enough is enough.”

News By The Numbers

Scientists are not yet sure if it has air or water, and because it is so far away, there are currently no plans to go there. 100. That is how many irrigation systems in Israel were left exposed online for a month. This made them open for a hacker to divert or change water systems away from crops, cities, and buildings. The IT department has since fixed the issue. 20 feet. That was the wingspan of the pelagornithid, a prehistoric bird that scientists say was the biggest bird to ever live. They say it was like an albatross with a hacksaw for a mouth. Is it terrible to say that we’re not sad it’s extinct?

50 States of Credit

Minnesota is the state with the highest average credit score, according to Experian’s 2020 analysis of the nation’s credit. Other high score states include Vermont, South Dakota, New Hampshire, and Wisconsin. The state with the lowest credit score is Mississippi, followed by Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama, and Texas. Nation-wide, the average credit score is 688. A perfect Experian score is 850. The average person has $5,897 in credit card debt, $215,655 in mortgage debt, and $25,483 in non-mortgages debt. The average amount of past-due debt is surprisingly down from 2019, perhaps because consumers have focused on paying off debt rather than racking up new debt during the pandemic.

The Right To Vote

credit: sentencing project Volunteers and nonprofit organizations have been working tirelessly to help prison inmates submit their votes. Most people in jail still have the right to vote; losing it through a criminal matter is extremely rare. But doing so is another story altogether. Rights groups have been helping inmates register for mail-in ballots, and county sheriffs, county clerks, and local election boards have been assisting in the efforts. Most prisons won’t go out of their way to do this, even though it is allowed, so groups such as the Sentencing Project have taken it into their own hands. “Of the 745,000 individuals incarcerated in jail as of 2017 nearly two-thirds (64.7%), or 482,000, were being held pretrial because they had not been able to post bail.” This according to the Project’s website. Courthouses running in extreme backlog due to the pandemic, so these people could be waiting a lot longer. And who are these people? Disproportionately people of color by almost half. In Cook County, Ohio, the jail was designated as an official polling location so inmates can actually vote there. In Los Angeles, inmates can use the prison’s address as their official voting address.

Foot Off The Gas

Want to turn your gas-guzzling car into an electric vehicle? A company in France is offering this service! The company is called Transition One. They replace the internal-combustion engine with an electric motor and battery in just four hours! This sounds surprisingly easy and fast! And maybe expensive? It is a bit. It costs approximately $6,000 but once you do it, you get the electric vehicle tax incentives, bringing the actual cost down significantly. Plus you’re free of the petrol station once and for all! The replaced EV engines can go approximately 100 miles on a single charge and can be controlled with a smartphone app. Transition One estimates that every 10,000 kilometers in an EV rather than a gas car, saves one ton of carbon dioxide from being polluted into the environment.
