Louisiana requiring 10 commandments in classrooms

Anti-American BS is what it is.

Apart from the obvious issues about church and state, college classrooms seems especially weird. I mean, is there ANYTHING that is required in every public college classroom? Maybe exit signs, that's about it.

This will be a quick unconstitutional ruling once it gets to the Supreme Court.

Well, it should be….

At least they got rid of subsidies for poor kids school lunches. Priorities.  These people are sick.

Every child deserves a safe home, first and foremost, and families deserve a pathway to self-sufficiency," David Matlock said in a statement. "Staying focused on that mission, without adding piecemeal programs that come with more strings than long-term solutions, is what will deliver the biggest impact for the children and families we serve.

Yeah unbelievable schools wouldn't provide two free meals a day. I mean the food sometimes leaves things to be desired and an unbelievable amount of food.is thrown out but let's feed kids it's something easy

I don't know... with climate change accelerating, Louisiana is gonna need to start praying. Maybe a little religion will do them good.

Please tell me you have a hot key for that and don't actually type it out 30+ times a day.

Freedom of religion doesn't mean others are free to force their god on you.

Any word on biblical penalties for Louisiana’s elected officials and members of law enforcement who break any of the commandments yet?

Just wondering if you mean the loss of land due to the sea level rising, which is ongoing there, or the loss of jobs as the oil industry dies?

That's at God's pay grade.

They've been exempted from any and all penalties, as long as they can keep it in the closet

I was thinking the former, but you raise many good points.

Was discussing this on my cross-country drive yesterday. I kind of feel for the folks in the oil and transportation industries. Depending upon how many rednecks turn out to vote this fall, they don't know whether to make solar powered micro hatchbacks, or diesel F350s. Tough to do much planning. I see Stellantis is holding off on their 2025 Jeep plans until calendar year. They've extended the 392 for now, but had previously announced revised hybrid and full electric models. Powertrain engineers watching the polls more than Democrats.

It's been pretty obvious the the US & to some extent the Japanese OEMs have been hedging their bets for the US markets.

Thing is they are really screwed if Trump wins, as the rest of the globe is going electric regardless.

North America is a very different market than the rest of the world. It's very possible it will need very different solutions. While I think Trump winning would be a bad thing, having the government stop trying to cram a favored solution down the public's throats might not be.

Thing is though that as it matures electric with be both higher performance and less expensive than ICE.  With much of the innovation happening in China the US will be sucking hind tit.

edit - I see articles like the one attached seveal times each day.  Either  companies are way overhyping their development progess or they are getting to parity refill times verses gas tanks faster than anyone expected.

If so the limiting factor for the EV market is becoming charging stations, not vehicle capabilities.

I agree. With some exceptions, range has become a non-issue. Charging infrastructure is a shit show, though. And I know you disagree, but I think that's gonna take WAY longer than 2-10 years to fix. Improvements in time to recharge, as well as ubiquity and reliability need to be addressed. Gas pumps have a 100+ year head start, so it's gonna be tough.

I post an article about recharge times dropping to 10 minutes this year and your response is recharge times are still going to be a problem?  I'm not understanding your thinking here.

As for building out a charging network that isn't a technical issue at all.  Just a matter of investment and time.  For a similar technical revolution how long did it take to build out cell phone towers, which have to be line of sight to cell phone users to have coverage?  I'm just trying to say a charger system build out is similar to other build outs which have happened so if the money gets off its ass it can happen in my time frame.

Maybe not you, but there were posters who were saying we wouldn't be seeing electric cars on the roads in our lifetimes a few years ago, when I was saying "wait until 2025 to 2026", or if we were they wouldn't have the range to be practical.

Building out the charging systems are just the next obvious step in the technical revolution to electric transportation and there are too many stakeholders in the process for it not to happen. That part of the infrastructure is going through typical growing pains right now, forsure.

Done

Horses had a several thousand year head start and we all know how that worked out.

Is the Supreme Court going to tie themselves in knots by overturning their previous ruling on this or are they just gonna say fuch it, the First Amendment doesn't really mean what it says it means?

The Republicans voted this in as a test case for that.  One would expect they wouldn't have bothered if they didn't know if they had the votes on the court to make this stick.

This could be an attack on the interpretation of the 14th, which now is interpreted to mean that all the US Laws apply to the states. If the court decides that isn't the case, then nellie bar the door.
