Miller is in the US House, but daughter's grandfather/ex-wife's father is a US Senator. Something might actually happen here because Miller is the junior official.

Imo, you may be giving them too much credit. Have a quote from my family: "Oh, it's just all too much to think about, but I trust my pastor knows what's right. I'll vote for the one he recommends."
tldr: the core argument here is that debt in the technical sense means something slightly different from debt in the business sense and that somehow makes developers look unprofessional. So rebrand tech debt to messiness.
Imo: Being a messy worker doesn't look more professional though... This is a lot of words about someone's pet peeve, and they should probably keep looking for a better alternative. You want to make the idea of tech debt more palatable to smooth brained c suites who can't understand what tech debt means? Look towards concepts like restructuring, adopting more efficient methodologies, process improvement, or risk management. Mess though... that's the least serious sounding suggestion of them all.
I found these articles with a little more information.
I moved out of the USA about 10 years ago. There are many reasons, both big and small. When people ask why, I've learned to boil it down to one overarching idea: I believe we should live in a society where the people are primarily treated as the definition of the society and not where the people are primarily treated as a resource belonging to the society.
Others have pointed out siblings, but it's also worth noting that, in the context of your comment, sisters and brothers is more correct. Sibling is more clinical and might be used in a description like "I have 3 siblings, 2 brothers and 1 sister". When you are addressing a group, the more familiar brothers and sisters is appropriate. "May the force be with you, siblings" would be very weird.
Not an expert here, but given the differences in measurement scales, I suspect there is a difference in intensity.
If my reading of this Hong Kong Observatory reference is correct, a no 8 is classified as wind speeds between 63-117 km/h.
When we talk about hurricane strength, we're using this scale. Unless they are measuring different metrics, a no 8 is the equivalent of a tropical storm. Which is to say, we don't even rate that as hurricane strength.
Helene hit land at around 220 km/h (Cat 4). Milton reached speeds of 260km/h (Cat 5), but might weaken to 190-200km/h (Cat 3) by the time it reaches land.
It's not an oppress or be oppressed issue.
Nonviolence only works when your opponent has humanity.
The point of this is that both sides need to be engaged in making a nonviolent solution happen. If only one side is on board with the process, then the result is either a lack of change or one sided violence.
Look at how much progress we have made in Europe since the second world war. We’ve done so much through diplomacy alone.
In Europe, both sides are engaged in nonviolence. Both sides are interested in diplomacy over violence, so progress can be made.
The situation between American's and corporations (and increasingly corporate controlled government) is one where nonviolence has been met with inaction. That is a single sided engagement. The lack of both parties being engaged means the approach isn't working anymore.
Employee here. If you need an alternative offer to get reasonable considerations from your employer, just take the alternative offer. The employer clearly doesn't respect you and your current leverage is just a short term tool until they start taking advantage of you again.
One of the most surreal experiences in my life was riding in an ambulance in Norway and having the EMT sheepishly explain that while the ambulance ride was free, the ER visit was going to come with a bill. He was equal parts embarrassed and indignant about it. The bill was the equivalent of $25.
If you have an employer that does the right thing, you should have a union that doesn't need to do much. But you should still unionise, because it's niave to think the company will always continue to behave that way. If anything, they naturally drift away from that state and it's only a matter of time until it changes. The union is about having a level playing field with the company when you need it.
So DC, being a federal territory, historically was governed by leaders picked directly by the President. In 1973, Congress passed a law providing for a popularly elected Mayor and a board of District Councilmembers.
DC governance is in those parts that "went missing" from Congress' version of the Constitution.
To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of Government of the United States
