N,o, Biden is trying to save American jobs. Even a high tariff on a car from China that's cheap (like $10,000) will still cost less than an EV that's made here.

[@Shawn-ho6de]

Think about it....if China dumps their automobiles on the US for 50 percent of the actual cost it eventually causes the US companies to go bankrupt. Once the US companies to under then China can increase the price because they will have a monopoly. Their vehicles are highly subsidized by the Chinese government. They are already doing this to other parts of the world. I just spent two years working in South America.

I'll never understand the absence of seatbelts on busses...

[@RaymondHng]

The absence of seat belts in most buses, particularly school buses, is due to a combination of design considerations and safety philosophies that have evolved over time. Here are the key reasons: Compartmentalization: School buses are designed with a safety concept known as compartmentalization. The seats are closely spaced and have high, padded backs, creating a protective envelope around the passengers. This design helps to absorb the impact and contain the passengers within their seating area during a collision, which reduces the likelihood of injury . Safety Record: Statistically, school buses are among the safest modes of transportation. They have a lower rate of injury and fatality compared to passenger vehicles. This impressive safety record has been a significant factor in the decision not to mandate seat belts in buses . Evacuation Concerns: In an emergency situation, especially one involving fire or water, quickly evacuating a large number of passengers is crucial. Seat belts could potentially slow down the evacuation process, leading to higher risks during such emergencies . Cost and Practicality: Retrofitting existing buses with seat belts or designing new buses with seat belts involves significant costs. Given the already high level of safety provided by current bus designs, many policymakers and safety experts argue that these resources might be better allocated to other safety measures or educational programs . Usage Enforcement: Ensuring that all passengers, particularly children, consistently use seat belts can be challenging. Without proper enforcement, the effectiveness of seat belts would be limited. This is a practical concern that has influenced the decision not to require them on school buses . While the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recommends the use of seat belts on smaller school buses (those under 10,000 pounds), it does not mandate them for larger buses, largely due to these considerations. Some states and local jurisdictions have opted to install seat belts on their school buses, but it remains a topic of debate and ongoing research .

Quit assuming some God is responsible for things we do not yet understand. Example: Rainbows 🌈. Remember when we used to think they had something to do with God? Today, we know exactly what rainbows are and how they're formed.

[@lottasunshine1325]

No, we have exactly the right President in office now. Do you want all the factory workers to lose their jobs? Supporting unfair trade by foreign countries to undermine our workers and hurt our economy is selfish and not very patriotic. Anyway, Trump also imposed tariffs on China. Biden is being tougher because Trump was weak and a terrible negotiator. He had no idea how to govern.

[@DS11129]

Sad so many do not understand Constitution and media plays into it. Been that way for years. It is Freedom of Religion not from religion and that the state cannot establish one religion as the main. Allowing for the practice of religion on public grounds does not estsblish a religion for the state. For over 200 years in America it was the norm for prayer in public places and still is in our govt. sessions. Yet one group has pushed wrongly your can't pray in public places. I recall when we used to pray at the flag pole. Look at our society vs. 30 years ago. What is the big differences? More crime and less prayer in school and public spaces. Knaw on that.

[@RaymondHng]

The United States Constitution mandates the separation of church and state, ensuring that government institutions remain neutral in religious matters. Allowing a religious group to use a public library as a place of worship could be seen as the government endorsing or supporting a particular religion, which would violate this principle. Public libraries aim to serve diverse communities with varying beliefs and backgrounds. Transforming a library into a place of worship could alienate individuals who do not subscribe to the particular faith or beliefs being promoted. Libraries strive to be inclusive spaces where people of all faiths and ideologies feel welcome. Allowing religious services in a public library could raise legal and policy concerns, including issues related to liability, use of taxpayer-funded resources, and adherence to library policies regarding the use of facilities.

[@DS11129]

Unless you have a degree in Politics dont comment. If you do than I am sorry you did not learn anything. Last sentence is the 1st Amendment for you. If you want to use Thomas Jefferson as your reference from separation of church and state you really should make sure to include that as he is the first to say it after our nations birth and not as legal doctrine. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or PROHIBITING the free exercise thereof.

I always feel sorry for the police spokespeople tasked to speak to the press at accidents like that bus crash. He was keeping it together, but when he had to pause and swallow when he said "beyond eight fatalities," I felt for him. Obviously, the victims and their families are the ones who are really suffering, but the first responders and other workers around that scene have a heck of a hard job.

In the United States, swearing on the Bible in court is not a requirement. When witnesses are called to testify in court, they're typically asked to take an oath or affirmation to tell the truth. Individuals have the option to affirm instead of swearing, which allows them to make a solemn commitment to tell the truth without invoking a religious belief.
