Implement this in Congress and all other federal positions as well.
AND THE SENATE
The US Supreme Court starting with Clarence Thomas.
Everyone would quit. Thank goodness. Clean house. Also random drug testing.
they already do.. you can read the ethics committee requirements here
ethics.house.gov/financial-dislosure/specific-disclosure-requirements
@@ChicagoJDevery last one of them. I don't know why you specifically say Clarence Thomas, because he seems to be one of the most adamant anti-corruption judges. Have you ever listened to any of his speeches? Have you ever watched any of his lectures? He's such an eloquent man when it comes to his distinction of corruption. It's really sad what people who are told what to think, sheepishly believe.
This shows the citizens who in office is there to serve the people and who’s there to serve themselves. Hold all politicians accountable.
It basically has the trash taking itself out. 😂😅😊
Looks like the coming capital controls will include the obscene sums pilfered by politicians 😆
...I don't think this is going to have the desired outcome people are wanting. They have to list anything over $1,000. So any appliance, TV, car etc. I agree in principle but not the execution. Public servants should have oversight but they should also have their privacy and freedom same as anyone
I would never serve the people for free.. NEVER. I would also never over-charge the people of my services.. EVER.
@@iamwhoyousayiam6773 Politicians have been allowed to shape laws which cater to their own financial interests for far too long. If they want to conduct private business they need to relinquish power and invest without insider knowledge like everyone else does.
If they have nothing to hide, it shouldn’t be any problem. Obviously they have something to hide. This law needs to be nationwide.
Kinda makes you want to dig into their prior work to see if they truly care about privacy or if they are fleeing in fear.
@@kidmoseythey're definitely leaving in fear. Thanks GOP of Florida
@@Grizzly_Adams. Right? The amount of detail it demandst might actually be too invasive but it's a necessary law. They have all kinds of ways to manipulate things to their favor. It's rampant.
They should pass this law federally for the rest of America.
Corruption runs deep on both the left and right. This needs to happen nationwide for all lawmakers.
Not to sound offensive, but buddy you need to open up your eyes. We're far from well both sides gonna cheat a bit.
From my perspective they're all right-wingers, just to varying degrees.
I support this as a Federal law. No, scratch that. I support this as an Amendment to the Constitution.
Nailed it
They’ll find loop holes and other many ways around it.
This needs to happen to the US congress and senate.
It needs to happen at every level in politics even the White House.
All seats of government!
AND POTUS....and all administration officials tied to him. SCOTUS too.
Especially there--and in the courts. There are too many ways to grift money. The last thing I'll believe is a Bozo telling me, "It's private, cause I'm doing this all "out of the goodness of my heart, for my constituents."
Every one of em. It will never happen though.
If they “don’t get a dime”…. Just show it. This needs to happen in congress!
I dont live in Flordia but this should be COUNTRY WIDE for all positions of high office and government. Congratulations for all you Floridians!
AMEN!!
This needs to happen at the federal level also.
They already have it. www.gsa.gov/system/files/SF714-22.pdf
good luck getting thrump to do so
@rogerw-interested Trump did show his taxes. It's Biden who is not only hiding things, Biden is literally stealing your money.
@@rogerw-interested "Thrump" is the most audited and investigated person in the world, yet the most hostile prosecutors imaginable have found no financial irregularities that they could use in a criminal prosecution. Pretty good record.
First!
Just image how many Senators and Representatives would suddenly resign if that was a Federal law!😳
Sometimes I wonder if we would have any left.
It will be very soon...🔺🔺🔺
The Ethics in Government Act (EIGA, specifically 5 U.S.C. §§ 13101-13111), Senate Rule 34, and Senate Rule 41, require Members, officers, certain employees, and candidates to file public Financial Disclosure Reports with the Secretary of the Senate, Office of Public Records.
Nancy pelosi has left the chat 😂
imagine*
When you don’t want the city to know how you’re using your position for financial gain, this happens. I appreciate the state of Florida requiring this level of transparency.
Nobody is quitting that has nothing to hide. About damn time elected officials are held to this level of transparency.
This law needs to be at the federal level too!
All the way up to the big guy. And his 10%. It's an effort to keep politicians in check.
This is going to be national if Trump wins. He already said this many times! Trump 2024 🇺🇸
Amen.
Everybody on both sides of partisan politics is so keen to blame, but it's as simple as stuff like this.
If people are for real OF COURSE they'd support this.
Yes, everyone.
Colorado, Maine and Jack Smith agree with you.
As someone who has held a public office in Florida, this was a much-needed law. I have seen city councilors vote for state grants that directly benefitted their own homes & businesses. Not just once, but for years. If they can't be transparent, they shouldn't run.
Exactly! Conflict of interest is a big problem with these public officials.
Shame you didn't come forward as an anonymous source to a reputable newspaper and shine light on this corruption! You were complicit... And that's the problem with society these days!
@@nadineprice1753 There have been dozens over dozens over dozens of unrefutable evidence for Trumps corruption long befor he even run for president. Yet, the public just didnt care too much and voted him into office anyway. The problem of todays (american) society is not that people with moral dont go public, the problem is, there are still millions of us-citizens believeng in the most stupid crap imaginable rather than objective facts, if those facts dont fit their world view.
@@nadineprice1753 I hear that! she wasn't so apparent when she was in office.....might've made a difference. or at least help her sleep at night, but no. she didn't wanna say anything till now. it's a shame...my father has lived in Florida for more than 20 yrs.
@@nadineprice1753 We did take it to Tallahassee NOT anonymously. The judge gave them a small fine while thanking them for their unpaid service. Privacy is a word politicians use in place of the word deception.
This should be mandatory nationwide.
Sounds like they all have something to hide. Imagine being a public servant and thinking you have a right to privacy.
Of course politicians would hate this. This should be a federal law.
it already is.... i see u are well informed voter... The Ethics in Government Act of 1978, The Ethics Reform Act of 1989, The STOCK Act of 2012. to name the few read n them u might learn something
@@tomaszwidaIf no one actually enforces that then it doesnt matter. Dont act like your smarter.
Many laws and policies are supposed to work but Check and Balance has almost been completely stopped.

@@tomaszwida thank you!
This law should be Nationwide
And retroactive.
It is.
Really? So your Anti freedom now. Nice. Go to Russia if you don't like America
@mackwiz1 no its not lol if that were true then the whole federal goverment would quit and run before we caught them
@@matthewross5388EXACTLY CHOP CHOP CHOP
They all need to be investigated AND AUDITED they know something and are doing something that are unethical.
Please let this become federal law. The people have zero other defenses against corruption. This is atleast a start.
I like how council members in the state of Florida suddenly have a problem with being transparent.
Don’t go overboard only a handful are resigning the rest are staying.
This is not a Florida problem. It's an issue across the union. Every state should pass something similar.
This is a great thing. Every state should do this. Congress and house members should have to do it as well
I would like it to start with the Supreme Court.
@@kevinlockwood7357 So... Start with 9 people who ensure laws are constitutional, VS Hundreds of people who write laws that can affect our very way of life. Yea that makes a lot of sense.
It should be implemented for anyone who works for the Government. That's Federal, State, and Local county officials.
@kitarikitsuga if my taxes write their paychecks, every cent should be disclosed!
@@jacobbainter7955 exactly
No moderators
The folks who resigned should be investigated, and their decisions reviewed. _Especially_ if they've been doing this stuff "for free." 🤨
no one would give up public office over having to fill out a little extra paperwork telling the people what they own unless they had something to hide.
It is not invasive, it’s a guarantee that people taking public office are held accountable for their behavior while in office.
Yeah right, who do they think they are, the supreme court?
If you feel that that is too much invasion of privacy then you can quit and let others who feel that transparency can cut all the corruption in Biden administration and US government in general, can serve the US citizens.
You think this holds them accountable?? For what??
@@LostinmyAmazingnessAny amount of accountability for public officials is a step in the right direction.
@@MrAlripkensure. If that helps you sleep at night.
This should be a federal law!
NO! It shouldn't. This is a law that specifically targets Democrats, as they are all the ones resigning. The Republishits are using their majority as a weapon to invade the privacy of their rivals and it's WRONG.
Disclosing your personal assets? That should be a law? What twaddle!
This is already a federal law, see OGE (Office of Gov't Ethics) Form 450. The difference is that the OGE-450 doesn't ask for the dollar value of what you own or your net worth, neither of which is relevant to conflicts of interest.
This is only for elected official not the regular citizen. which SHOULD be public because they work for us. @@stephen1137
@@johnsimion2893dollar value can certainly be relevant to conflicts of interest. I’m assuming they have to disclose liabilities as well. If in your private business you owed $4k to a contractor, no conflict, but if you owe $40k to a contractor and as a councilman you vote for them to get a public contact, that would be a problem.
You mean to tell me, rich people can’t continue using public office to further enrich themselves? That’s just crazy.
Ah, .... how sad! Poor corrupt political council members don't want transparency to the public. Best to let them go, no one needs more hidden corruption. None of those people do it for the love of their community. They do it for the power, the control and all the side perks they get.
Politicians resigning? How do we make this a nation wide trend?
If they did this report for public “sympathy” they failed! We rejoice!!!
Another excellent move in Florida.
One excellent move among many crappy moves.
well, the average american voter tends to re-elect 95 percent of their elected officials every term, so maybe when the average american stops being a moron we could get a lot of politicians cleared out.
most likely for sympathy..
yet it failed miserably😆@@michelemcdermott75
They need to extend this to all people who hold public office.
100%
Elected and appointed.
It should be to anyone who accepts money from the tax payer.
Especially at the Federal level!!!
@@PeteSugondeseBull. Welfare is a huge scam that shouldn't be legal. Forcing others to work so bums can sit at home.
All those who stepped down SHOULD definatly be investigated!
Did he really say your net worth has nothing to do with….😂😂😂
Afraid of transparency is a red flag for government officials. I love the new law, now we need it at a Federal level.
I agree 100%
Lol. They do it for nothing, except for desire to serve. I know the people on my City Council, and everyone of them would be more than happy to disclose, from the professor to the bank president. We know where they live and where their kids went to college. And they all are not taking bribes or increasing in wealth. They all actually are doing it because they love where they live. And we are small enough that crooks would be ridden out of town. It makes a difference when people care. It’s too bad most voters don’t realize graft and corruption come right out of their pockets.
You’re a fool. If this requirement can be applied to elected officials, what’s to stop the ‘powers’ from requiring the same of private citizens. Audits are conducted to suss out any misconduct, misappropriation, waste or illegal activity. There’s absolutely no need for this lunacy. IT IS AN INVASION OF PRIVACY. PERIOD. 💯🔥
@@a.k8069that scenario sounds like a lazy businessman. City politics need to be run by well rounded individuals. Not someone beholden to a business or money. If you dint have the courage to run and do the job….dont cry about the job being done.
LET'S BE CLEAR, these officials are absolutely terrified of the accountability headed their way.
You sound like a fool saltdaemon.
Maybe they object to the silliness of the discloser. Items worth $1,000 are not assets. They are personal items and do not constitute actual wealth.
Exactly!
I bet these were all the same people screaming for trump to release all his financial information.
Nah they are not worried about accountability. They’re more worried about prison time.
@@poquitovibes9432What do you think accountability entails?
Thank you, Florida! Lets hope more states follow suit.
This is awesome!!! Accountability!!!!
This should be the law in Congress and the Senate.
Gotta start somewhere
And the Supreme Court.
I agree, this should be a requirement of every single person taking a position of public office.
Im not listing every item I own over $1000
Its not that many but its also not your business.
1000 is a stupid number to use.
10,000 maybe
The Senate is a part of Congress made up of the House and House the Senate.
You should have stayed awake in 7th grade social studies…….
Need to implement this on a national level now.
Fun fact. Every last Federal employee currently does this.
@Jeffyourlordandlover.-mr2qs…cmon dude, even if they had to release financials; they would STILL find a way to do it. Look at nicky haley, she was near bankruptcy…then had a net worth of millions within just a few years. Drunk nancy piglosi does right under your nose and then laughs at you.
@@drummaster786 not on the scale of a mayor. They get huge honorariums for speaking engagements and they dont tend to disclose them on their taxes. I know of one public figure that gets double their annual salary in honorariums.
@Jeffyourlordandlover.-mr2qs for the record they do disclose their stock trades. I use to get mad, now I just match my portfolio to them and I make out as well.
Yes. Every Potus should have the same requirements too. But I seem to recall trump electing NOT to disclose his. Should he be disqualified from running if he chooses once again not to disclose his financial information?
I bet these are the same people who would freak out if a First amendment auditor showed up at City Hall
"We don't get a dime"
Should be pretty easy to fill out then, chief.
This should be mandatory for anyone running for public office at local, state and federal levels.
Exactly, in my country bankrupts cannot stand for any Public Office, America makes one POTUS, go figure.
Also the supreme courts
Right, so then you agree that Trump can't hold public office! Nice to see we're all in consensus.
AMEN
Does that go for the President ? trump never did Voluntarily .
Their resignation speaks volumes!!! Politicians across the board should have to do this!
Yep, buh-bye.
Yes, it tells you some people don't believe their neighbors have a right to pry into how much they have in their bank account. Let's say the elected official discloses they have $100,000 in their bank account. What does that tell anyone? Is it legal? A payoff? Earned money? Inherited money? It tells you NOTHING except that you are snoopy.
I would resign too, and I have nothing to hide. It just isn't any of your business.
Not many people know vice president Spiro Agnew resigned when he knew he was going to be charged for tax evasion.
Shows they are getting rich from public money! So now they are getting exposed!
I love how when somebody actually attempts to "Drain the Swamp" a red state panics and quits 😂😂😂
What are these guys so afraid of if they have nothing to hide!
We’ve been saying for years that the House, Senate and Supreme Court should have all members wear their corporate donors on their suits like a NASCAR driver so we know who bought them. I see this as an absolute win.
good one 😂❤
I've said that for years also... that way when they're flapping their mouth you can see who's really speaking
From most of these replies I’d say the voters agree to the transparency. I guess these quitters have something to hide
@@Butterfly04able Clarence Thomas is still fresh and glaring in everyone’s mind.
@@Living_Life242

If politicians hate it, then regular citizens should absolutely love this new law, especially if it introduces transparency.

Just a guess, but the ones resigning aren't "everyman" members that live near/in a trailer park.
They have nothing to worry about if all the charges they did was in the interest of the people and communities. 😊😊

*nationwide

This law should be applicable to all elected officials at all levels, state & federal.
I can't recall who said it first, but some years ago the comment was made that our legislators especially should be made to wear NASCAR jackets with the labels of all of their donors.
Wasn't it then Gov. Jessie Ventura?
@warrentopping4442 I don't know if he was the first to do so, but it certainly sounds like something he would have said.
It is applicable for federal workers.
@harding0010 Clearly not enough, as the sheer amount of money paid to members of both chambers of Congress by lobbyists is insane.
Shouldn’t be a problem unless you have something to hide.
You can resign but we still need to see your records. You don't just get to skip out without a care.
Love how they consider exposing corruption as an “invasion of privacy”
or is it the other way around?
@@watchgoose I think riding horses suits you more than riding the d##ks of politicians.
@@watchgoose No. It wouldn't be an invasion of privacy because you are an elected official who is allowed to resign.
And elected, public official. Your life is in the public eye, what did you expect?
They expect to keep their corruption private.
Needs to be implemented at all local, state and federal levels.
It is already at federal and state level except the local level-which they do now in 2024!
To me that shows you have something your hiding….. and the ones that’s staying on doesn’t
I was a Planning Commissioner in my local government and I was REQUIRED to Disclose this type of Information......I have no sympathy for those who don't want to.....Perhaps they need to be investigated as they are
"jumping ship" for more than just "being required" to be Transparent???? What do they possibly have to Hide??
@@veronicalee5937 Exactly, you work for the people.
@@DimplesGenXwhat legislation is that? They can disclose if they choose to, it’s not mandatory. Representative Ro currently has a bill he wants to pass banning stock trading by congressional members and family members. It’s still having a tough time getting passed in Congress.
This needs to be a federal law
If you want to work in any financial establishments you are required to do this. Why not? because they have something to hide.
As a small business owner, the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT and my STATE requires me to do this QUARTERLY!!!!
Do what the "LGBT" does; identify anything eorth over 1000 dollars as worth 999 dollars. Although the state may disagree but so what! 🤷
Yet those jackwagons will resign before they hold themselves to even a tenth of the standard they hold the rest of us to.
disclosing EVERY SINGLE ASSET over 1000? So phone, watch, computer, tablet, oh wait what about the 3 watches in your closet? what about the couch downstairs? did you list your mattress? the random bitcoin investment you made once? then everyone can judge you for how you live. imagine you own a classic mustang. well if you disclosed that and someone hated you so much because say they were a conspiracy theorist and thought you were causing voter fraud, well they might just break into your garage and steal the car since they know EVERYTHING you own.
@seansull Exactly. Financial holdings and assets are one thing. But fact that you spent $1300 on your couch from Wayfair is a bit too far.
@@seansullthey're elected officials is this a problem?
As a federal employee, I am required to do this. No sympathy for those who have a problem with this. It’s called transparency.
Except many federal employees don't fill it out, i.e., the biden administration members who are clearly corrupt, based on dozens of released docs..
You don't have to report EVERY asset you have over $1000 on your form.
My state requires a form, but not specific accounts, just general categories.
@@jimfranklin2613 no don't have to report every asset over 1k but I'd be happy too. If they have nothing to hide shouldn't be a problem for them.
As a federal employee, I agree with sunny. Our agency requires pretty much total transparency.
And if you can't prove how you amass MILLIONS OF DOLLARS on a Government Salary, the fine tooth comb and financial anal probes are in order. Can you say, "Nancy Pelosi?" and a whole lot more in Congress?
Good. Public officials need to be held to a higher standard not a lower
Interesting how they don't show party affiliations for these people any more.
Privacy should ONLY be for private citizens NOT for politicians when it comes to financial disclosure.
Exactly. If you’re going to be given that kind of power, you need to prove you deserve it and be above board.
If you're not up to any financial shenanigans there should be no problem. Normal taxpayers have to report everything to the IRS.

This is something that should have always been in place. For EVERY elected official EVERYWHERE in this country.
Yeah, right, and the crooks will still find their way around yet another arbitrary law. They kick taxes to the curb every year, what makes you think these wankers are going to just let this new law stand in their way?

This should have been the norm all along. This is how you get accountability in your elected officials.
But it doesn't actually provide any accountability! Simply knowing the assets that someone owns doesn't tell you a thing!
For the law to do something, it needs to cover donations and gifts. I don't care if someone owns a $2000 gaming computer or a beach house in Daytona; I DO care if those assets came from someone else during election season or while the official is in office.
Volunteers, who are elected, are essentially being bullied by big government. It doesn't do anything to stop conflicts of interest. But it probably makes people more inventive on ways to hide conflicts of interest.

They sure found their 'principles' when it's THEIR rights being violated.

Exactly. They should audit everyone who resigns
How about trying to make into law instead of just imagining it.
It's hilarious hearing them try to misdirect with the classic 'We need qualified politicians' when one look at AOC blows all that to hell.
Pass this Law Nation Wide!!!
The problem is that the perks, such as lucrative lobbying jobs, come after the politician retires.
amen......
Yes!
North America wide please. Here in Canada we seem to have a wee corruption problem to, wow that would stifle that drama.
If they're already required to put financial statements in why is this necessary? I think if it's to catch embezzlement of funds for personal use then that's good but if it is being used to invade privacy then I don't agree with it.
If you have nothing to hide you shouldn’t be worried about it, it is the fact that this opens the opportunity to see all their shady business, the ones that quit is because they are afraid to get caught, this law should be for absolutely every politician from the president to last janitor.
now audit everyone that quit
I love how their protest of the law is to do what most of us want career politicians to do. I would love to see this on a federal scale.
Career politicians can be a good thing if they have the interest of the community at heart. After all, if we only higher people who are younger or for only a few years then no one learns how to do the job. And being a politician is a job. For instance you would never say career doctors are a problem or career police officers. Or that career fireman is a problem because you want them to be knowledgeable at there job and the only way to do that is of they make a career out if it. Same for politicians.
I don’t think it works that way in politics. Also, aren’t they suppose to represent the people? If they actually listened to their constituents, they’d have a pretty easy, repeatable job.
@Whydidyouusemyname Of course it doesn't, but I don't understand why everyone wants to 'dismantle capitalism' when rampant government corruption is the much larger glaring issue.

How does this law help with that? From what I see anything that would be problematic they're already required to disclose.
This just seems to add a burden of having them report on personal items such as vehicles, jewelry, or other assets they already own.
I just don't see how this is going to help.
Stop voting for republicans, then.
@horrorfan117 Audits all around. It's an Anti-Corruption measure. Being an elected government official you should expect to have the least amount of privacy.

No that form is called TRANSPARENCY!!!!! And should be required for EVERY single elected officials from the local, state and federal level. Period!!! Across the country..
Exactly
So, if they buy a Playboy or Hustler, the public should know? I am okay with transparency, but if they own businesses, their business records could never be private. It might keep numerous business owners from ever wanting to run for public office in Florida.
@@ethanweeter2732good. If you have something to hide, you’re not fit for office.
Well said we'll said indeed my friend!
@@ethanweeter2732umm go look at the mayor in Chicago 😂💁🏼♀️
This should apply to every elected official or appointed everywhere in the US, state and federal.
Especially the governor of Florida.
All federal employees must submit annually an OGE-450 financial disclosure form.
Why does every asset over 1k need to be reported that’s excessive and unnecessary.
And the President
Including presidents
If you quit, you probably had something to hide 😮
This is actually genius.
How to tell people your corrupt without telling them your corrupt. This needs to be standardized across the country, especially in congress.
you're
@rindjint3205 You are ...contractions are for lazy People.
If the position d ain't paying nothing. I wouldn't go out of my way to lay out all my assets and money, now if they pay an accountant or somebody to do it for me then
It will be
😂
How do we know they're corrupt? Because when it comes time to show their honesty, they'd rather quit.
This.
This is going to be national if Trump wins. He already said this many times! Trump 2024 🇺🇸
That is 1000% accurate!
Scurrying away from transparency
I thought it was because they were still breathing.
A lot of corrupt people trying not to get caught.
Sounds like corruption will quit once a law would out them…..sounds like this should be in all states as well as the federal government
“They don’t get a dime, they do this for the love of their community” I have a feeling it’s not true and there’s a reason those officials quit 😏
No one does shit for the love of their community tbh, they do things for themselves and help people immediately around them, but only religion and the indoctrination from birth it uses on people can get people to do that and it's not guaranteed. It's not that people are bad, it's that money and security is always the number one concern in adult life. If people have both, they'll start thinking about their community, though this is not a certain thing. Before that, they have to think about themselves to survive. That's why we have so many philosophies with the goal to get people to think on a long term or irrational angle that focus on altruism.
Yeah, what is he talkin about? They don’t get a pay check?
They were pay! Dude lying, all you have to follow was how these people lives were change! Most drove car that we call normal people car. Til they got on city council or Mayor jobs, then they drove BMW, MERCEDES, and other expenses car!
They love the community soooo much that they quit as soon as transparency is mandatory... yeah... makes sense lol
@@Javeli05 Some public offices are actually "paid" very little in terms of salary, which is a problem in itself because it means only those individuals who have become independently wealthy can take up public office while living off of their investments. Then they make money by using their positions of power to establish business and investment connections and the cycle continues, the rich stay rich, etc. Part of the issue here is identifying investments that would actually be a conflict of interest. For example, your local city council or whatever approves 80 new roundabouts to be constructed around your city over the next 10 years and 4 of the council members have significant investments in local paving companies which just so happen to be awarded the contracts for this new construction. It probably happens a lot more than we think. My town recently voted out a mayor after she used eminent domain to remove people from their homes they'd been living in for 15+ years but was able to declare her own home to be a historical landmark and reroute the planned construction, causing even more homes to need to be bought out and removed.
Evidently, they don't want to be exposed. Laws to expose corruption? This needs to be nation wide!
You just know this is a Desantis flex on Trump ;p
Or it could be they just value their privacy.
just red states darling😊..
absolutely @@rebralhunter6069
Damn they ain’t getting paid ? I don’t blame them
If something similar was to get passed in California the “high-speed rail disaster” would’ve never happened.
Why can’t we do this with congress?
And now you know who was getting bribed. Great law and it should be for all government employees
as a conservative, I 100% agree with this. If conservatives want to lead with integrity, then they have to set the example. If disclosing your sources of income is an invasion of privacy for an elected official, then perhaps they shouldn't run for office. There are plenty of "normal" income earners out there that have the skills to run for state and other local offices.
If you're calling yourself a conservative in 2023 it means you won't care when your elected officials are caught doing nefarious things... Dems actually take action when there is corruption in their ranks. See: Cuomo, Menendez, etc.
You have a reply that has been censored.
@@MindBodySoulOk The server the comment was sent to just hasn't updated with the central yet. UA-cam has MANY servers which don't all update the service at the same time or deliver the same service at once because that'd overflow everything. So the data that says you commented is stored with the data that says you watched (basically all the meta data) which is updated more often because it's smaller. Then there's a whole other data set with the actual comment in the table.
This is why sometimes you'll see a video with say, 100 views then if you refresh it will say 80 views. On the second time, you got a server that wasn't as up to date as that first server to deliver the content to you.
Same applies here. If it was "censored", youtube just removes the entire set.
What's also could be happening is that all FOX related YT channels have a "approved comment" rule where if certain keywords or more often links are included in the comment, it must be approved. I know this because I often post with links to official documentation to disproved a lot of rhetoric in their comment sections and my comment won't show unless approved by a channel moderator. And FOX never approves any comments since their channel moderators either aren't allowed to or don't care.
@@ravenna6543 thanks for the informed comment👍
"Conservatives lead with integrity", that's a laugh. Keep waving your MAGA flag.
Finally florida doing something that keeps the politicians accountable.
Finally ". 😂... We are a little slower, BUT WE ARE SURE! FLA native.
WE the people ( not politician's)
Shocking, actually.
You realize this is hitting VOLUNTEERS right?
Good. You think simply being a volunteer makes you impervious to taking bribes etc.... @@abelis644
Good Job Florida! Trail Blaze the drain! This needs to be in every state
Imagine being held accountable.
This gives honest people the chance to get into office. The ones who quit obviously have something to hide.
Not necessarily.
Exactly what I was thinking.
As long as you're one of them. They're still gonna corrupt, they just won't get prosecuted as long as they play ball for the right team.
@@smilingfaces9846I think you meant the "left" team.
my thoughts exactly
This law is AWESOME and should be implemented with ALL elected officials on every level.
Listen to them whine, I have no sympathy
I just found out that the mayor in Chicago is using Covid money that should have been returned. It would help the deficit we are in now. Why wasn't it sent back??,,
In all countries
@@connienolt4708 bc we are slaves.
Our Country went to war with the King of England over 3% taxes. Now commies like you want to suspend the 4th amendment just to run for office? Fuck taxes, fuck this illegitimate government and most of all have a nice day.
Crooks didn’t want to be exposed. Your public officials
If they are quitting they are guilty of something and don't want to be caught.
