It''s official in Georgia. Real blacks are less capable of getting a state ID and that the voter ID laws are not intended to provide for secure and honest elections but to disenfranchise blacks.

Requiring an ID to vote is objectively racist, the North Carolina Supreme Court has ruled — overriding the NC legislature and the state constitution, which shockingly treated all potential NC voters as equal before the law.
What this means, by assessment of the State Supreme Court, (which ruled 4-3 along ideological lines, with liberal justices in the majority), is that blacks are now officially and legally deemed less capable in practice of acquiring a form of personal identification. That is, they are lesser than all other “races” with respect to that task. And so it follows, they are lesser with respect to the constellation of other tasks that require personal identification to effectively complete.
This ruling, then, suggests that the inability to acquire personal identification by blacks, who the Court ruled would be “disparately impacted” by securing the trustworthiness of elections, in this instance, is an essential part of blackness as a legal identity marker. Individual blacks who are able to secure an ID to, eg., vote, to rent a home, to rent a car or a hotel room, to buy alcohol, to purchase legal firearms, et al., are therefore racial outliers, per this ruling, and can’t be said to be authentically black, in particular when it comes to their relationship to voter ID laws. Voting laws requiring ID come not from wanting to secure elections, the Court was able to suss from an insidiously colorblind piece of legislation; rather, such laws embody the “racial animus” of GOP lawmakers toward a specific and singular racial identity group. Thus, the individualism of blacks in North Carolina is — according to the logic of the State Supreme Court’s liberal justices — necessarily subsumed by that group’s peculiar inability, as a function of their skin color (itself determined by genetics), to perform basic civic tasks as a prerequisite for voting. They are uniquely incapable as a race of identifying themselves as themselves in a way that is physically verifiable.

Final results. If I recall correctly he has been searching for a CEO. I do wonder if this was a way to kill two birds with one stone. Out more bots and open the runway for whomever he’s selected to take over as CEO.

What does it take to buy an electric school bus? Nothing. Another great economic and scientific lesson from our government. Thanks dems.

Federal and state governments are practically giving away electric school buses, and if your local district doesn't have its hand up yet, it should. The math is a no-brainer.
Why it matters: Exhaust from diesel school buses makes kids sick and curbs cognitive development. Plus, diesel buses emit greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change.
Electric school buses are a cleaner, safer alternative, and they're cheaper to operate — it costs about 14 cents a mile for electricity compared to 49 cents per mile for diesel fuel, according to Blue Bird, a leading school bus manufacturer.
They can also act as giant batteries to store surplus energy when not in use. That means cash-strapped districts can earn money from their parked buses by selling power back to the grid during times of peak demand.
The catch: An electric school bus costs $350,000 to $450,000 — three to four times a traditional diesel bus — and most districts can't afford the upfront expense, despite the long-term savings.
What's happening: A bunch of new government incentives make replacing aging diesel fleets an easy call.
The five-year, $5 billion Clean School Bus Program, approved in November 2021 as part of the infrastructure law and run by the Environmental Protection Agency, pays school districts up to $375,000 to replace a diesel bus with an electric one.
The government offers another $20,000 for charging infrastructure, for a total of $395,000 per bus purchased.
In October, EPA awarded the program's first $1 billion to fund about 2,500 school bus replacements in nearly 400 districts.
Priority was given to low-income, rural and tribal communities like Dearborn, Michigan, near Detroit, which took delivery of its first electric school bus last week and expects to buy 18 more with a $7.1 million federal grant.
Many states offer generous rebates, too, including California, Colorado, New York, Connecticut and others.
Some local utilities also provide financial incentives to support school bus electrification.

They don't work. Talked to a Spokane transportation mechanic said they have 14 electric buses. They can run only a couple. No way to charge them. Can't run long enough. Can't turn them around quickly, no trained mechanics etc. Biggest problem? Avista says they need an entire new substation for the chargers and Spokane has to pay for it! So it ain't happening! They sit parked, rotting.
City buses run all day long. It's a bit easier with a school bus which may have a couple of short runs in the morning and then afternoon. So, there is an opening after the morning run for a fast charge, if you have fast chargers and sufficient grid access. But again, this is all just expensive BS virtue signaling. If a school district wants to buy an electric bus, have at it. Just no federal or state money should be involved. The district would then need to explain why they are spending 4 times the cost of a diesel bus to voting parents.
At my PD we purchased an electric parking enforcement vehicle. It wasn't really purchased it was paid for by AQMD. Damn thing didn't work for two years. It was back at the manufacturer for that long. After it was returned it was used but could only do one shift, if they were lucky, on a charge. So it would take twice the number of vehicles to outfit them with electric. Newer ones probably do better but nothing works for shiftwork really.

Somehow the tech-immersed generation has trained itself to put up with all kinds of shit that isn't reliable, doesn't work, chronically underperforms and fails to deliver on its promises.
Back in the day, people rejected crappy shit. Now they're content with replacing shit annually and filling up landfills with toxic waste while polluting the air with Amazon and UPS vans all day & night everywhere.
Turns out a hell of a lot of my fellow citizens are feel-good, hyper-emotional, statist, authoritarian idiots.
