To them it’s woke history. A Republican from the north (eg. Chris Christie) might tell you it was the right answer, but if you’re from the South you can’t ever admit it.
Absolutely. It’s all so calculated, that there is suddenly a surge in popularity for a woman candidate. They can espouse all of their typical anti-social policies all while hiding behind claims of modernity. The murdochs are savvy, even if she ends up the vp on trump’s ticket, she is something they can always point to as a reason that republicans aren’t archaic monsters. And their voters will believe it and use it as their own shield.
Abortion is a loser for the GOP. With the passage of this ballot issue, they could take their loss, played the “aw shucks” for their base, and moved on to other issues in 2024. Instead, they’re giving the Ohio Dems their talking points for them and doubling down on a platform that’s been killing them every time citizens cast ballots.
I had the same question after watching Cathy Wood of Ark Invest’s jobs report yesterday. My thought being “isn’t higher wages a good thing, and can help people weather inflation?”
As others have said, there are better ways the fed can go about dealing with inflation than wanting the average person to have lower wages. It’s frustrating.
Well yeah, the average American is broke. And the average house is expensive. Give me whatever funding this study receives because this shit didn’t need one.
Texas officials confirmed the bus was headed to Chicago as part of its “border bus mission.” Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is one of several Republican governors in southern states who have authorized the bussing of thousands of migrants to Democratic-run cities since early 2022 as part of an ongoing political battle over immigration policies. Critics have accused GOP leaders of using migrants as political pawns.

“State-sanctioned kidnapping is not a public policy choice, it is immoral and disgusting," California Attorney General Rob Bonta said of the practice in June.
Can someone explain how 50% is more “democratic”? I feel like it would be more democratic to require supermajority to change laws in this stupid hyper partisan world. In this case it felt like the people agreed so it was bipartisan super majority. Why cant this apply to the rest of constitutional changes?
Edit: im glad i get downvoted for asking for clarification.
As the only other person said they are doing this right before a big vote.
The real problem is that they are trying to raise the current number of signatures for citizens to amend the Ohio Constitution from the requirement that they need to be gathered in 44 out of the state’s 88 counties, to the new version they would need all 88 counties. And getting rid of a 10 day grace period. This would make it nearly impossible to get anything on the ballot for a vote.
Edit: made it more clear that they would need all 88 counties instead of 44
Double edit: you got an up vote from me because it seemed like a sincere question
This is a misleading article quoting the wholesale market rates that are normally paid by factories, utility providers, etc. The vast majority of Texans pay a set rate every month to their utility provider, who ideally generates enough to cover demand, but has to buy from the wholesale market if they fall short (or can sell back to the wholesale market if they over-produce).
There’s a small number of people who pay wholesale rates for their residential service, but many of them learned their lesson after that big freeze a few years back. Generally that kind of plan is geared to people who have their own generator, solar, etc and only buy from the grid in rare situations.

Of course they are the wholesale rates. Nobody thinks they are retail rates because we all know our retail rates are fixed. Not “misleading” to anybody. But the retail rates obviously depend on the wholesale rates, so goodluck when you have to renew your rates.
Hopefully the lemmy user base is smarter about this than Reddit was, anyhow. God knows enough people over there got confused every time a story like this was posted.
I get the feeling the author of this article, who described it as “The rate Texas residents pay for energy” might be confused on the difference between wholesale and residential rates though.
