FU GOP.

Ohio voters reject ballot measure seen as threat to abortion rights effort
A proposed constitutional amendment at the center of the abortion rights battle in Ohio is projected to fail, delivering a major win for Democrats and reproductive rights advocates.

Voters in the Buckeye State rejected a ballot measure that would have required at least 60 percent of voters to pass any amendments to the state constitution — up from a simple majority.

The Associated Press called the election shortly before 9 p.m. ET.

The proposed constitutional amendment was supported by Republicans and different interest groups, including anti-abortion activists and the Ohio Chamber of Commerce.

Though the proposed amendment does not mention abortion in the text, it was largely seen as an effort to undercut a separate ballot measure in November that aims to enshrine abortion rights into the state’s constitution.

In addition to upping the threshold for the percentage of voters needed to change the state constitution, the August ballot measure would have required groups collecting signatures to put a measure on the ballot to gather a certain percentage of signatures from all of Ohio’s 88 counties, compared to the previously required 44 counties.

It also would have gotten rid of a 10-day cure period for groups in the event that some of the signatures collected and submitted are not valid.

The August election faced criticism from Democrats as well as some Republicans, including former Ohio governors from both parties. The election was also scheduled in the summer month despite the fact that Gov. Mike DeWine (R) had signed legislation earlier this year outlawing most August elections.

Republicans for their part argued that the election was fair to hold, saying this initiative was needed to stop out-of-state interest groups from trying to influence the state constitution. But one group in support of the August ballot measure has received at least over $1 million from Illinois GOP donor Dick Uihlein.

The election also comes as abortion played an outsized role in last November’s midterms following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. Democrats are positioning to make it a key issue heading into elections this fall and next year.

It wasn’t the Democrats who chronically defunded schools …

Canada has been getting a lot of talent these past few years and it is easier for students to get in the country and stay here, we have been taking advantage of the situation in America. The local university is full of southeast Asians, and many are working local jobs along with an influx of immigrants, housing prices are increasing and there is a general housing shortage in the country driving up homelessness too.

It costs a fortune for education these days and back in my day it was a bargain in comparison, many community colleges and technology schools were free or cheap, education is still cheaper in Canada and many Americans take advantage of it too. People should not be in such debt for an education, technology should be able to lower the cost considerably, maybe AI profs are the answer, they would teach more than many of the real ones. Most of the instruction is done by teaching assistants, tenue is rare, and they are paid like fucking slaves. It makes one wonder where all the money goes, more teaching and less student services I say, they are there to train for a fucking trade, not save the world or cure their neurosis. If they want workers, then pay to train them or have the government do it.

The problem with education in America is the same problem with most things, republicans and shitheads. Education needs reform and it needs to be free for those who are serious, want to learn and have the ability. The American reaction to Sputnik shows what can be done and it led to the moon, internet and our modern world. Railways and telegraphs were infrastructure that helped America to industrialize and become a global power, education is like infrastructure, it is the foundation on which future technologies and industries are built.

While I think AI instructors are probable in the future, I feel a twinge. I hope that some of my students have memories of my better teaching days, when I drew potentially inspiring analogies to stuff a more task-oriented AI might have missed.

The problem the republicans have in changing course is their base who don't care about facts and reality. They won't respond to a new reality very fast and the large number of religious lunatics among them won't change at all and the base runs the party.


Let's talk about Ohio, the GOP, and the future....
