Or how about this: On Friday, Joe got his first hate-the-other-side mailer from none other than Ron DeSantis. Is that the only way candidates can run these days — or do they actually have ideas that serve everyone, not just their side?
On misogyny and racism in healthcare
"Is racism still alive? Absolutely. Are people still judged by their skin color? Yeah. Did I experience misogyny? Absolutely. There is an issue though nationally, and I think within Nevada, for your African American women and their medical care. And so finally, there's some discussion both in legislature and nationally to make sure that doctors are properly looking after like preeclampsia was a really key factor in many African American women because of the blood pressure that comes up and and goes down. And if you walk into an emergency room and you are seen by an emergency doc rather than a family physician, your gynecologist type tend to know more about what to look for versus an emergency room doctor. So they've been doing some work on making sure that they're testing or asking the right questions." - Chris G
On out of state plates
"What I'd like to talk about is, I went to our dispensary here the other day, and there was probably about 30 cars in the parking lot, and only two of them had Nevada plates. Everything else was Utah plates. And what I was thinking, if it's all possible to take maybe 25% of the out-of-state people that come in here to buy, like for Utah from St. George mostly, and they just take 25%, maybe 30% of that out-of-state money and put it towards like, Meals on Wheels or some type of mental health program or radio programs ... We are just totally inundated by out-of-state folks here." - Skeeter from Mesquite
On community sustainability
"I work in real estate and the affordability crisis here, of course, is on everybody's mind. But one of the things that really frustrates me is we should be looking towards sustainability. And why we don't have light rail connecting us the amount of workers that go to the Strip every day. Why we don't have light rail ... to cut back on the traffic." - Marissa from North Las Vegas
On water in the Colorado River
"The lake's still going down. And everybody thinks that it's going to pop back up because they had a wet winter up in Colorado, which I don't think is really going to happen. ... And why don't they step in, in the county commissioners or whatever, and kind of slow some of this growth down? Because I understand you need growth, but you also need water to grow. And I flew in a while back and every third house in Las Vegas seems to have a swimming pool bond. And that kind of shocks me." - George in Pahrump
On high gas prices in some neighborhoods
"It's what they think they will pay. And in Nevada, because we have the additional tax, it's higher compared to other states. So it's just your local gas tax. That said, it's kind of like insurance. We used to call the zip code zap because they still charge you more based on your zip code, which is very discriminatory. So I suspect maybe some of the gas stations think, 'Oh yeah, you're over here in Summerlin, I can charge $4.69. But if I go just down the street to another area, it's going to be $4.10. You know, so there is no rhyme or reason. It is private sector, but it really is something that should be looked at because it's price gouging." - Chris G
