After an ICE raid swept up all the undocumented workers, company now cannot find enough labor to build their trailers

their solution if things don't improve is to move their entire operation to Mexico lol

anyway im aware of voter apathy from the poor, but the other demographic that doesn't vote much is young adults. and since income tends to increase with age id be curious to see a breakdown of voting rates by both age and income to see which is the biggest factor. anyone seen something like that?

Young people tend to be more mobile than old people, often times they don't even live in the state or county they're registered to vote in

A Michigan Republican women's PAC is backing two Democratic candidates in November over their Trump-supporting opponents, pointing to President Trump's rhetoric and Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation hearings as key reasons for the move.

in the year 2000 when i was in middle school i couldnt remember which one of al gore and george bush was the democrat and which one was the republican and also what the difference was and i imagine being an undecided voter is a lot like that

I did a report for my middleschool social studies class about how you should vote for bush because gore had leiberman as his vp and he hated videogames :downs:

quote:

For the state’s DSS, the practice of discriminating against Jewish families was too much. As early as January 2018, DSS sent a letter raising concerns that the agency was violating federal and state nondiscrimination laws, as well as DSS policy, by requiring applicants to meet strict religious standards — namely, being a practicing Protestant and not being in a same-sex relationship

...

“There is the ability to have an intelligent conversation, versus a ‘we’re right, you’re wrong’ — ’cause it is subtle. It’s very difficult. And I know the CEO of Miracle Hill. I know him well. And he is not a bigot. And that’s what makes this a human story.”

“What Miracle Hill does, is they scoop up these kids from foster care, and they have these group homes. And then once they get the kids in there, their whole objective is to indoctrinate them into their brand of Christianity,” Lesser said.

Lesser said that while she and her husband were licensed foster parents while they lived in South Carolina, they “hardly got any calls” to foster children.

“I think that if Trump knew about this in detail, he wouldn’t be for it,” Lesser said. “Because he’s not a religious nut.” She’s a proud supporter of the president — and, she offered, she wanted Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh to be confirmed.

Louisiana passed a law allowing students failing school to use government vouchers to attend alternate religious schools.

That's cool, but then they realized non-Christians might want funding too

Republican state Rep. Kenneth Havard objected to the Islamic School’s request for 38 government-paid student vouchers, saying he opposed any bill that “will fund Islamic teaching,” the Associated Press reports.

it would be wrong to force a government employee to violate his sincerely-held religious belief that reading a koran induces abortions

the divine inspiration was in the king james translation and not the original hebrew

i actually have read someone saying that if the king james version and the original hebrew or greek did conflict then the king james english version was correct and the hebrew version was wrong
