What are we supposed to scared of because of this? Chinese AI will take more jobs than American AI?

For the record, I don’t think AI will actually replace humans in the workforce at any meaningful scale, whether it’s Chinese or American.

I’m a proponent of local democratic governance. I’ve had to present an ID to vote in every election I’ve ever voted in.

How did registered voters who didn’t cast a vote cause Trump to fraudulently lose an election?

My 9-year-old used to insist his opponent cheated every time he lost a board game. Fortunately, he outgrew it.

I wish more adults would.
I'm sorry but the use of "woke topics" as a grievance makes this impossible to take seriously.

I googled the publisher - a group whose entire existence centers on being anti-DEI.

I did find this interesting, though:

Using this method, we find that medical student–authored research was uncommon 25 years ago. (See Figure 1.) Between 2000 and 2006, no year had more than 17 publications with a student author. Between 2007 and 2012, the number of studies written by medical students per year fluctuated between 17 and 58. In 2013, student authorship rose to 135 publications and jumped again in 2014 to 411. By 2022, that number rose to 932 before slipping back to 735 in 2025. That recent decline may be distorted by the fact that PubMed is sometimes delayed in receiving and listing publications, sometimes by several years.


What do you think drove (or is driving) this significant increase in student-researchers?
quote:

No, it's a rebuttal to the implication from your stance that because the election happened, the position's continued existence was the will of the voters.

Only 21% of registered voters in Orleans parish bothered to even vote for the election. An argument could be made the majority of voters don't really care about it.
My stance is that because voters overwhelmingly voted for a Calvin Duncan to hold the office of Criminal Clerk of Court, voters wanted Calvin Duncan to hold the office of Criminal Clerk of Court.

Only 36% of registered voters participated in the election that made Jeff Landry governor. Surely you're not suggesting the other 64% were expressing indifference about whether Louisiana should even have a governor at all.

I do, I think the method in which they did this was ham-fisted.

I only took 599 posts across 75 threads to get here.

New Orleans should work with Landry to fix it.


How? Landry refuses to meet with the mayor. He just wants to talk shite from afar.

quote:

Everyone is tired of New Orleans and the decades of dysfunction and corruption. frick them.
:lol: BIG feelings.

For doing something within their job duties, such as sending out an advisory letter over legal consequences of a particular action?


Interesting contrast. When the State exercised its legal authority to nullify the practical effect of a local election, the answer was simply, “The State had the legal authority.” But when Orleans officials exercised legal authority to pursue an indictment, the discussion suddenly shifted from legality to whether they should have exercised that authority. :lol:

I guess it’s only ok to exercise legal authority sometimes.
quote:

Did it? I don't remember Orleans parish petitioning voters to see if they wanted the separate position filled or not, just a choice between who would fill it.

I’m confused. Are you suggesting that every election needs to have a pre-election election to ensure voters want the office to exist?

quote:

Democratic governance was upheld
For clarity, do you see no ethical or governance concerns with the State sponsoring an election, certifying the results, then immediately passing legislation that nullifies the practical effect of that election?
quote:

I’ll point out, again, that you cheered New Orleans’ attempt to undermine a statewide election and usurp the will of its voters when it tried to indict the State AG.


When did I do this? Link?

quote:

The only difference between that and your complaint about the state is that what Mew Orleans tried to do was illegal.

It’s not illegal to indict sitting politicians if that’s what you’re referring to.
The other posters here more than make up for your lack of engagement.
quote:

The state was well within its rights (and we've already established that it was completely within the state's legal authority to do so and that you don't like that this is true).


And we’ve established that although the state possessed technical authority to pass that legislation, it still undermined its own election and circumvented the will of the voters.

We just ignore the inconvenient threat to actual democratic governance because the governor found a way that was technically permissible to settle a petty political score.

None of the lawyers will address that part for some reason.
quote:

I'll correct my previous statement then.

Still not satisfying.

It starts with the state upholding the law and the city deciding to break it.


Not exactly.

ETA: this legislation was proposed for many years and went nowhere. It's unrealistic to suspend elections for proposed legislation that repeatedly failed in previous years.
quote:

Your original point was that Landy was declaring war on New Orleans.



No it wasn't. You just posted that you understood I wasn't literally suggesting that.

This is just a semantics game at this point. Do you think Landry is demonstrating good leadership by publicly belittling a city within the state he represents?
quote:

Well first you issue an arrest warrant for the State Attorney General...



First you need to undermine the outcome of a legitimate local election.

Actually, first you need to certify the results of that election. THEN you need to pass legislation that renders that election obsolete.
quote:

Yes. I didn't literally believe you were suggesting Landry had technically declared war. And, you didn't really think that was what I believed. You are severely struggling to even have a productive conversation.


What is your issue? What don't you understand about my point?

Landry is needlessly belittling a city that provides the entire state with a significant portion of its sales tax revenue. Your response is centered around my use of the "basically declared war" metaphor. What is your issue?

My position is that Landry is demonstrating poor leadership. This spectacle does nothing to further Louisiana's interests.

I guess I didn't understand your manatee reference then.

Either way, I'm a happily married mother of 3 and my youngest isn't even 2 years old yet. If strangers on the internet want to call me fat on a political message board, you have my blessing.

I've once again over estimated your intelligence.

I would have thought that even you would know the 1879 Constitution you linked was discarded on January 1, 1975 after Edwin Edwards was able to arrange a Constitutional convention the Spring of 1974 and convince voters to accept the new constitution by a statewide vote in April, 1974.


This is your argument proving that the separate Criminal and Civil Clerk of Court offices in Orleans Parish were first established in 1975?
