There's a multi-trillion dollar infrastructure plan being advanced. Presumably there are non-racist ways of implementing it.

Can anyone confirm whether this is even a remotely accurate description of what is undoubtedly a stupid and cruel bill anyway?
(1) "Abuse" includes the following acts or omissions
by a person:
[...]
(i) administering or supplying, or
consenting to or assisting in the administering or supplying of, a
puberty suppression prescription drug or cross-sex hormone to a
child, other than an intersex child, for the purpose of gender
transitioning or gender reassignment; or
(ii) performing or consenting to the
performance of surgery or another medical procedure on a child,
other than an intersex child, for the purpose of gender
transitioning or gender reassignment.

The US is a nation that was literally designed to diss Anglo-Saxon political traditions
like, that's the nation's single greatest value proposition
"common respect for uniquely Anglo Saxon political traditions"

Quite literally.
You'd think GOP leaders might at some point stop and think that if the Democrat's base gets vaccinated and theirs doesn't then the differential death toll might not exactly play in the GOPs favour at the next election.
Its not just deaths too. Many lives ruined by Long Covid and people left with "pre-existing conditions" as a result, or facing onerous medical bills as a result. Driving your own voters into medical bankruptcy is hardly productive to getting them to keep voting for you either.
GOP is banking on mass unforeseen vaccine deaths and complications taking out more donkey voters than elephants.Quote:

It's certainly not impossible, OG. I just still can't help but apply Hanlon's Razor to GOP-critters in most cases. Though in this case he IS for pushing it on "the most vulnerable" (i.e. elderly voters who generally swing conservative) so you might have a point. Or it could easily be both stupidity AND malice.
From the party of job creators:
And that was before all the promises were broken.Quote:
The state's Legislative Fiscal Bureau, a number-crunching agency similar to the federal Congressional Budget Office, calculated that it would take the state until 2043 to recoup the $3 billion handout, which was the largest such subsidy in Wisconsin history. Even if all 13,000 promised jobs went to Wisconsinites, the tab would be more than $230,000 per job created, the bureau found.
A separate analysis conducted by the Mercatus Center, a free market think tank based at George Mason University, found that the higher taxes needed to cover the cost of Foxconn's tax breaks would "decrease Wisconsin's long-run GDP by about $20 billion over the 15-year life of the handout."

A third of Americans (purportedly conservative people) are actively trying to make a case for autocracy.
Whereas over here people on the left, especially Europhile, have been the ones arguing against democracy for years now. Or as they like to call it whenever they lose a vote "populism".
The interesting thing is that if a conservative uses a racial slur they are rightfully condemned by other conservatives. However when mainstream liberals call a senator a variety of racial slurs that's a-ok. The double standards are as always obnoxious.
Nice try conflating democracy with rule by non-binding referenda.Quote:
