All electronic voting systems can be hacked or manipulated and they all have foreign components. NONE are safe. We should not be using electronic voting systems.
And paper can be just as bad, just remember 2000 when there were pregnant ballots and hanging chads. Plus no telling if someone can just “manufacture” a bunch of prefilled Democratic ballots and drop them in the middle of the night when a candidate needs a few extra ballots in their favor.

I would think Mark Z. probably had a hand on that. He probably still hasn’t learned his lesson on the drag unions can have on business.
Louisiana can be very anti union especially in the oilfield and maritime industries. I remember a big anti union push in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s with a campaign called CCFC that pushed back on unionization in Lafourche and Terrebonne Parishes.
They are taking a page out of the cattlemen pricing playbook.
Let the price rise by controlling supply and avoid adding additional supply while increasing costs and decreasing prices.
They can make more money with a tight supply without having to risk more money and more work.

If we tried it your way and targeted a tax break at people who make less than $50k, there would be next to nothing reduced because very little tax revenue comes from them.
This is so true. Plus at 50k a year once you add kids and wife, you are probably in negative income tax territory and sending them a “refund” check of EITC and or child tax credits.
What should happen is the elimination of all income taxes on income below 75k a year, and marginal increases in social security and Medicare taxes mainly on the employer portion to shore up those trust funds.

In the afternoon mail was a mailing from Spectrum offering internet for 50 a month for a year. I called the number and requested that plan and was told that was for new customers. Told him no where did that appear.
That type of billing should be outlawed in the name of equal billing. A product should have one price and not one for one person and another for another person or group. What to say some of these providers could charge more in minority areas verses rich affluent areas.
Also should prohibit robocalls or messaging that come from a recording, or personalized AI generated messages.
Also the FCC should require anyone using robocalls to use special prefixes so carriers can identify robocalls and phone users can block calls from these numbers at the carrier level. Robocalls should also be identifiable via caller id as to whom the call is originating from. That requirement should also extend to debt collection calls to.

Obviously you are not familiar with Louisiana's elected officials.
Best politicians that money can buy as long as you are donating to their campaign funds so they can buy LSU tickets, pay cellphone bills, and lease expensive cars in the name of travel/office expenses.

1992 was a moderage El Nino year, but SELA and South Florida remember Andrew.
El Nino or La Nina are only part of the entire global weather pattern. If anyone tries to say that one season will be worse or better than average is selling clicks and likes. There maybe some probablility based on averages, but it is always a guess.
Mother Nature and the Man upstairs control the weather. If you can call him and get a prediction, ask him for the winning lottery numbers while you are at it.

Awe yes, a church accepting of many denominations…1’s, 5’s, 10’s, 20’s, 50’s, and 100’s. They even accept nondenominational tithes like checks, credit cards, last will and testament, and the deed to your house.
I posted this a few times, but as much as we hate John Oliver at times, he hit the nail on the head on bit he did several years back on the charlatans gaming the nonprofit/tax exempt status of churches and the manipulative ways some churches sell salvation through more and more demands of money.
