The Isolated Politics Blurt Thread I: A New Beginning

President Biden visits site of never-built $10B trump project to announce his administration's investment in tech by helping a Microsoft development, specifically through the CHIPS and Science Act plus the Infrastructure law and ongoing AI regulation moves.
3.3 billion artificial intelligence data center by Microsoft that is expected to create 2,000 tech jobs along with 2,300 construction jobs.

WASHINGTON ― Six years ago, then-President Donald Trump hailed the "eighth wonder of the world" at a groundbreaking in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, for a high-tech campus planned by electronics manufacturer Foxconn.

But the $10 billion project fizzled, and the sprawling facility was never built even after homes were demolished to make way.

he wasn't slow in reminding them about trump's failure to deliver his promises:
"My predecessor claimed he would ‘reclaim our country's manufacturing legacy,'" Biden said of Trump during a ceremony celebrating the Microsoft announcement. "In fact, he came here with your senator, Ron Johnson, literally holding a golden shovel, promising to build the 'eighth wonder of the world.'"

"Are you kidding me? Look what happened. They dug a hole with those golden shovels and then they fell into it," Biden added. "Foxconn turned out to be just that − a con. Go figure."

rather than turn the area into a place of growth and plenty under trump, Wisconsin saw a loss of jobs: 1,000 manufacturing jobs in Racine and another 6,000 in Wisconsin compared to the gains seen in the Biden presidency of 4,000 for Racine and a whopping 177,000 for Wisconsin!

i would honestly love to see a bunch of trump supporters be read out a whole series of statements they're told were made by Biden/team Biden when really they were made by trump/dingleberries, just to see them opine on them. A reality check... those who honestly believe the shit and still congratulate Biden for saying it would at least be honest (if not very nice people!); those who trash the sayings, thinking they're Biden's, are simply your typical two-faced republican arse-kissers
 
i was really surprised to read that only around 10% of the labour market in America is unionized!

this week the Mercedes-Benz plant in Alabama vote; it's a test this time to see how the vote will turn out given the company's anti-union messaging, something Volkswagen (TN) didn't do, taking a more neutral stance even in the face of 6 major TN political names threats and fearmongering.

Fun fact: some of the highest paid employees in the US are unionized … professional athletes. The player unions in baseball, football and basketball negotiated huge pay increases and other benefits.

It’s surprising that employees in other industries haven’t followed suit.

It might look bad on a zoomed in video, but that is protocol.

And the female officer did NOT "grope" the protester: she conducted a STANDARD pat search for contraband.

Also:

The officers clearly attempted to give the woman some privacy behind the police cruiser.

Also;

If that female officer hadn’t done that STANDARD pat search for contraband, she could have been fired.

Note:

A male officer did NOT conduct the pat search.

Houston County, GA sheriff's office just lost a case that's cost them $1.2m of taxpayer's money fighting another court's decision that a trans woman (Sergeant Lange) who has worked for them since 2006 should have her $10,000 surgery/care paid for by her health benefits with them.

“Today’s victory is a win not just for me, but for all transgender Southerners who deserve equal access to life-saving transition-related care,” said Lange in a TLDEF press release.

“I have proudly served my community for decades and it has been deeply painful to have the county fight tooth and nail, redirecting valuable resources toward denying me basic health care — health care that the courts and a jury of my peers have already agreed I deserve. I’m pleased to see that yet another court has deemed those efforts to be unfair and illegal.”

In 2022, a federal judge of the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia ruled that Lange had been discriminated against, citing the Supreme Court case Bostock v. Clayton County as legal precedent.

That ^ makes me happy and furious at the same time:

I’m happy for the ruling, but furious that taxpayers are on the hook for the judgement that was necessitated because of some bigoted assholes.

So…

NO elective procedures should be covered by employer provided insurance.
 

A GOP Texas school board member campaigned against schools indoctrinating kids. Then she read the curriculum.​


The pervasive indoctrination she had railed against simply did not exist. Children were not being sexualized, and she could find no examples of critical race theory, an advanced academic concept that examines systemic racism. She’d examined curriculum related to social-emotional learning, which has come under attack by Christian conservatives who say it encourages children to question gender roles and prioritizes feelings over biblical teachings. Instead, Gore found the materials taught children “how to be a good friend, a good human.”

Hiistorian Dave Barry described our situation in Dave Barry's History of the Millennium (So Far):
No matter what hurdles are placed in our way--somehow we always find a way, even in the darkest hour, to make things worse. It's a miracle, really. You read about the events of one year and think, "There is no possible way that human beings can get any stupider than that." Then you read what we did the next year, and darned if we didn't pull it off.
