  • Governors to voters: The state of our nation is bleak, except under me – The News Caravan

    Governors to voters: The state of our nation is bleak, except under me – The News Caravan

    “>Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination, cast his state as the place “where woke goes to die,” to which Murphy, in his State of the State address, responded, “I’m not even sure I know what that means.”

    It’s not just the nation’s highest-profile chief executives getting in on the crowing, either. It may be news to most, but Jim Justice, the Republican governor of West Virginia, is aware of “jealousy” about his state, “because now, all of a sudden, we’re the diamond in the rough that they missed.”

    “We’re in a never-before-seen era of contrast between red and blue states,” said Rob Stutzman, a Republican strategist. “What state you live in has become a subtext for what your politics must be, and I don’t think that was ever really true until the last six years or so.”

    Covid, he said, “has thrown an accelerant on the way governors have presented their states. It became more a point of contrast – open or closed, mandate or no mandate, pro-vaccine or vaccine skeptic. There were very few governors who played it down the middle.”

    The governors’ addresses have not been without some introspection about what could improve within their geographic boundaries. In Indiana, Gov. Eric Holcomb, a Republican, pointed last week to the relatively high rates of smoking and obesity in his state, where “our life expectancy in Indiana has declined in recent years.” In Arizona, Katie Hobbs, the newly-elected Democratic governor, warned of “potential catastrophe that will happen in just a few months” if lawmakers do not address an education funding cap, while noting the state is facing a “drought unlike anything in modern times.”

    In New York, Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul, after a closer-than-expected election, warned that inflation was harming Empire Staters. “And on top of that,” she added, “how do you pay the monthly rent, or the mortgage? It’s just so overwhelming for our families.”

  • BioShock 4 could show up at The Game Awards 2021

    BioShock 4 could show up at The Game Awards 2021

    BioShock 4 could be very close, as a site has recently appeared announcing information for a probable game in the series coming soon, according to some even these The Game Awards 2021.

    We have already discussed on several occasions the arrival of a new product in the series, even after the abandonment of Kevin Levine and the dissolution of Irrational Games (original team), an event that seemed to have spelled the end for the brand. Still, a small 2K supported studio is currently building a new game to the delight of all fans.

    After all, we are talking about one of the most loved and appreciated videogame series of the last decade, with titles capable of touching in their own way an infinity of fields, from the world ofart up to politics and its structure society.

    Returning to the teaser that surfaced online by BioShock 4, we refer to a site, here the link, with only an image with an inscription on the screen “Coming soon” and the name Lighthouse (Faro) in the URL, which should refer to one of the brand’s most iconic objects.

    A New Bioshock Title May Be Announced 768x432 1

    Given the scarcity of official information, we recommend as usual that you take this news as just a possible rumor, since there are no guarantees that it is an official site, there are also no certainties that even if the page was really created by 2K, that everything will then really be launched during the conference of this December 10.

    On the other hand, however, The Game Awards are one of the most important videogame themed events of the year, also for this troubled 2021, and announcements or confirmations of games in progress, it would not surprise us to see potential BioShock 4 (if that’s the real name then) on stage at the show.

    Certainly it would be a bomb of almost unthinkable levels, because as previously mentioned, the works of Irrational Games are among the most memorable interactive experiences in the history of our favorite media. Rapture And Columbia they are in fact distorted models of city and society, something that goes beyond simple narrative, and that manages to teach a lot to the player as well, as well as paint a very credible and cruel human race.

    [ad_1]

    Amid the ongoing row over the teachers’ training program in Finland between the Lt-Governor and Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Deputy CM Manish Sisodia has alleged that L-G VK Saxena is “trying to stop the file” again. AAP leaders held a protest outside the L-G House over the matter.

     

    The L-G House termed the allegations as “motivated” and “misleading” and asked CM Arvind Kejriwal to show Delhi Teachers Finland on Google Maps. LG also said that by showing teachers Finland on Google Maps and then conducting online session with Finland teachers, Delhi Govt can save over 120 Crores which it can utilise in giving ads across the country.

     

    Social media users extended their support to LG, saying the same Kejriwal had asked Vivek Agnihotri to upload The Kashmir Files on youtube, the same way Delhi teachers can visit Finland through google maps saving crores of taxpayers’ money.
