Re: Ethnicity about to become clearer

Moreover, if the districts were wrongly drawn up in 2021, and will be corrected for 2024, does that mean every piece of legislation passed in 2022 by said wrongly placed legislators be re-voted on in the state house and senate by newly elected members? Cmon, if,you’re gonna force a do-over, let’s do...

Re: Ethnicity about to become clearer

It’s been said without the districts drawn the way they were , state Dems would not have won the state house and senate in 2022. So, now the request is to go back to racially gerrymandered districts. Does this put the Dem majorities at stake in the 2024 elections? We all need to understand both side...

Re: Ethnicity about to become clear

Well, in 2023 we learned from Van Jones on CNN (repeated by many others) black law enforcement officers can be racist against black drivers Opinion: The police who killed Tyre Nichols were Black. But they might still have been driven by racism https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/27/opinions/tyre-nichols-mem...

Re: Ethnicity about to become clearer

I didn’t see middle eastern people listed under “white” in that chart. Maybe I missed something. I do recall George Zimmerman being labeled a “white hispanic” back during 2012 and the trial where he was charged with murder of Trayvon martin. And here from NPR a term “multi-racial whiteness” came abo...

Re: Screw General Motors (and any other automaker engaging in this practice)

Google, android and other apps have been caught tracking your phone location even when you turned that off. Facebook has been famous for writing apps for companies, in exchange for the data.

Gender dysphoria compared to anorexia

Some countries in EU are banning various hormone treatments and gender changing surgeries for kids and young people. Many ways we admire the EU on many things, like their treatment of consumer data privacy. Many here think kids with rapid onset gender dysphoria should be allowed to have trans surger...

Re: Baltimore bridge collapses

Thanks for the anchor info. Makes sense. Question : when Biden promises the bridge will be rebuilt with federal money, I assume our effective federal govt firstly, or subsequently , will go after the shipping company who I assume would have insurance to cover the costs. Don’t stick the federal taxpa...

Re: Baltimore bridge collapses

Supossedly all lights went off on the ship prior to crashing into the bridge. Lost all power.

Question on TV : “why didn’t they immediately drop all four anchors?”
Maybe due to no power.

Hope the authorities get to the bottom of this.

I don’t closely follow these things, but could they be mixing up east and west teams for maximum tv ratings and time periods and time zones across the different networks covering the tournaments?
