That's not the way it works. The only way the case goes to Supreme Court is if the US Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling is reversed. As long as the US Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals vaccine mandate decision is not reversed... it stands as the law of the land.

In the meantime you can stick your head back in the sand or wherever you
prefer. Come up for air once in a while,
look around, and take in the mainstream media BS. Then when you burry your head again, you won’t
notice the stench.

Like the early years of the ICE cars, it's all about how far can I go on one fill, where do I get it and how long do I have to wait before I'm topped up. Imagine if filling your tank of gas took 25-30 minutes to be full. How small the tanks were then vs now is the new battery capacity/storage challenge.

Charging stations will be a huge push for electric
cars. That’s my main reason for not owning
one, the infrastructure just isn’t there.
Ford just announced a liquid cooled charging cable that will provide full
charge in 5 minutes. Unlikely, but I hope
it doesn’t take too long and not a lot of the budget money is wasted.
We should have already been green energy independent. Technologies such as solar, wind, hydro and
geothermal have been around for a while now.

I'm in the same boat regarding electric cars. Just waiting for the infrastructure to be in place before I'll commit to one. I saw that news story about Ford and Purdue's charging cable. I imagined I'd just use an EV locally and charge it at home overnight, but that invention (if it makes it to the public) could be a game-changer.
I agree. We should have been green energy independent a long time ago.

But they left out funding for peninsulas. You can't be happy about that !

Independent voters blow with the prevailing wind. What will drive Democrats away from the party is the increased power of the progressives. Conservative Democrats will bail, especially after the sh*t show of getting Biden's agenda passed.

An interesting, analytical and worrying (long) read in The Guardian today about GOP's ongoing anti-democratic coup efforts. I'm actually surprised that this is possible at all in a country that considers itself a democracy. Shouldn't all this be unconstitutional (but then, what to expect from a country where judicial powers are not separated from the executive powers)? A quote:
Ed Pilkington in The Guardian wrote:
The nonpartisan group Protect Democracy and its partner organisation States United Democracy Center have recorded
216 bills introduced this year in 41 states that politicize,
criminalize or interfere with election administration. Many of the bills
seek to increase the power of Republican-controlled state legislatures
over the election process, stripping powers from impartial election
officials and handing them to radically partisan lawmakers.The
largest concentration of bills fall in exactly those states that were
most closely contested in 2020 and where the outcome of the 2024
presidential election is likely to be decided – Arizona, Georgia,
Michigan, Wisconsin and the increasingly competitive state of Texas. “We
know that some of these bills have been part of a coordinated effort,”
Jessica Marsden, a lawyer with Protect Democracy, said. “We see similar
measures pop up in a number of different states, so there is significant
evidence that there is at least the beginnings of some sort of plan.” |

So I guess Big Bird is running against Ted Cruz. Cookie Monster is his campaign manager, Elmo is his senior advisor and Bert is communications director.
Too bad it isn't real. He'd do a better job and wouldn't run away to Cancun when things got bad.

There are 2 ways to stop our current world lunacy. Through the court systems, of which there are
many cases pending not just in the United States but all over the world. This is somewhat of a slow process and will
take some time.
The other way to end the insanity is through mass
non-compliance.

Apparently the infrastructure bill finally passed in the House. Now the centrists are agreeing to vote on the domestic programs bill later in November after the CBO sees if its costs line-up with what the WH estimates.
In other news, the CBO back in February said it would take until the end of 2023 to reach 4.6% unemployment. We already reached that number in October.
