with that said, eventually the workforce will flip and all these guys who are blue-collar workers making so much money now are gonna be dirt poor when the AI jobless crowd slowly moves over into their sphere. At that point, everyone will be poor.

Doubt it, most of the Ai jobless crowd won’t be conditioned to actual labor. I can tell you from experience, taking an office person and requiring them to physically work for 8 hours (Even in Air Conditioning) has shown me the vast majority would struggle, the vast majority do not adapt. Take the AC away and almost none will adapt.

Never understood why people bring personal belongings to work. Work is work and home life is home life. I’ve been working at the same place for 2 decades, if they fired me tomorrow I don’t need anything from that office, all I would need to do is turn in my keys, badges, and laptop to HR.

If true, all you can do is file a police report at this point.

So are these discussions with different businesses where ideas and plans are thrown about but no commitment is being made by government officials? If so, NDAs are appropriate and should be used to keep dialogue open. If agreements are being made by government officials then obviously those agreements should not be under an NDA.
So which one is it?

You share a common pair of great great grandparents: you are 3rd cousins

To put this in perspective, I had great grandparents die in the 1920s, and a couple of my great great grandparents died before 1900’s. So, if you’re in you 50’s in a small town you could be married to a 3rd cousin and not even know it. That’s why I married someone from somewhere else, just in case :lol:

Well, I say, I say… at long last! Somebody finally cracked open that window and let a little common sense blow in! Keep talkin’ like that, boy, and folks’ll remember why this ol’ rooster belongs right up there on the Mount Rushmore of animated characters! That’s a joke, son!

Isn’t his ex some big personality on there? That’s probably why if so.

This is rich considering the fact the library tax is about to come up for another vote only a few months after it was defeated. How come the library tax doesn’t have to wait for a “presidential cycle”?

My view is the same no matter the issue, I don’t want stuff continually put in a ballot till it passes, I don’t care what it is.

I don’t believe there’s any force bussing. Wasn’t the desegregation case settled over a decade ago? Maybe I’m wrong :dunno:

After such a significant defeat, you have to wonder what caused it and why it failed. In this particular case, it was likely a combination of factors that motivated several different groups of voters to turn out.

For people who currently live in and would remain part of the East Baton Rouge Parish School System, there were concerns about the loss of funding and the damage it could create for their own schools. There may also have been a negative perception of the leadership running St. George. I don’t live there, so I can’t say for certain, but some voters may not have been convinced they demonstrated the level of governance needed to ease concerns.

Another factor was likely concern over future property tax increases in the St. George area, especially among residents who do not intend to send their children to the proposed public schools. There is also a perception, whether accurate or not, that the breakaway school effort was motivated in part by racial issues.

Beyond those concerns, Louisiana voters generally tend to vote “no” on amendments unless there is a strong and convincing campaign for a “yes” vote, and that didn’t seem to happen in this case.

One interesting result was Livingston Parish voting yes. Livingston is one of the few parishes that arguably had a reason to vote no. If much of the middle-class flight from East Baton Rouge is driven by dissatisfaction with the school system, why would Livingston want EBR to have another alternative? You would think Livingston would prefer more middle- and upper-middle-class families to continue relocating there instead. The same logic could potentially apply to places like Zachary and Central as well.

What happens if it doesn’t? Is there another path towards the separate school system?

If it falls locally and statewide I would imagine it will be a bit before they try again? A couple years or so?

If you live in Springlake or if you live in Village St. George and you are an average student, where’s the closest high school?

---

How many students in those areas actually attend public high schools? For example, if 80% of the students are enrolled in private schools, why would the district build a new high school there if the enrollment wouldn’t support it financially? From a fiscal responsibility standpoint, it would make more sense to bus those students to Woodlawn, McKinley, or Tara wouldn’t it?

The issue is that much of the population effectively opted out of the public system, and now there are complaints that the same system didn’t build a school in that area. A separate district was never necessary, what was needed was for families to opt into the existing system in large numbers at one time and reclaim it, but no one seems willing to do so.
