[9:20pm] Joe: Ahoy
[9:21pm] jokeefe: I suggest that we cancel our next meeting since it is day before Thanksgiving.

[9:21pm] Malt: i agre
[9:21pm] Malt: agree*

[9:24pm] jokeefe: Enjoy your preparations
[9:24pm] Joe: And the noms
[9:25pm] jokeefe: Platform
[9:26pm] jokeefe: Was looking over https://etherpad.pp-international.net/p/MAPPImmigrationPlank, and I wondered if we could remove some of the duplcate text
[9:27pm] Malt: good point, this is a little redundant
[9:28pm] jokeefe: The two lines that start with Borders seem to have similar ideas.
[9:36pm] Joe: How was that rework?
[9:38pm] jokeefe: The 2nd paragraph seems out of place with the rest of the text.
[9:39pm] Malt: yeah, good point
[9:42pm] Malt: do y'all think the queen is dead
[9:43pm] jokeefe: Moving “kept us competitive”
[9:43pm] jokeefe: The queen or Queen?
[9:43pm] Joe: If you are too oldto do anything then it would be a matter of perspective
[9:44pm] Joe: https://www.gawker.com/celebrity/queen-elizabeth-ii-still-alive-official-engagement-chief-of-defense-meeting
[9:46pm] Malt: the figurehead of the pudding archipelago
[9:48pm] Joe: Lol
[9:50pm] jokeefe: What do you think of the 3rd paragraph?
[9:50pm] Malt: i think we can cut the aging population bit
[9:50pm] Malt: also we've got "new ideas" twice, also once in the first paragraphj
[9:51pm] jokeefe: why cut the aging population bit?
[9:53pm] Malt: immigrants have value regardless of america's need of them
[9:53pm] jokeefe: true
[9:54pm] Joe: Put that in.
[9:55pm] jokeefe: “While we need new immigrants to bring in fresh ways of doing things and keep our economy competitive, immigrants have value regardless of America's need of them. All workers, whether documented immigrants or not, must have the same labor rights.”
[9:56pm] jokeefe: Sunday still good for recording Pirate News?
[9:57pm] Malt: i actually have a standup comedy contest, if i do well i might get representation

[9:57pm] Joe: Nice

[9:58pm] Malt: apologies for being scarce

[9:59pm] jokeefe: No worries, Malt.
[9:59pm] jokeefe: Life intervenes.
[10:00pm] Joe: I am, and hope to not have to focus on anything but the meeting this time.
[10:02pm] jokeefe: We are at time. Vote on it as is or do a final review at the next meeting?
[10:02pm] Malt: i like it as it is
[10:03pm] Joe left the chat room. (connection closed)
[10:04pm] Malt: well, good luck sunday!
[10:04pm] jokeefe: Thanks!
[10:05pm] jokeefe: It looks good, but one final review would be good.
[10:05pm] jokeefe: Shall we adjourn?
[10:05pm] Malt: yeah, there's still something that doesn't sit right with me
