I have no idea what that means.

I'm not an educator, nor do I study education. I do see one party continuously pushing for less public school funding, less public school support, diverting more money to private school, damaging education standards by trying to force religious fundamentalism and tamping down on science, cutting any and all safety nets for the poorest families, though. It's not a complicated picture.

f the public schools don't work for your kids, move them elsewhere.

What happens to the kids whose family cannot afford to send them to private school?

I'll be dead in a few decades. I really don't care. I'm just suggesting that people with kids might want to care, because things are starting to get really unpleasant for humans on Earth.

It sure does. A party that believes in privatization at all costs has prevented internet access from being regulated as a utility in this country. That's why the US has some of the worst Internet connectivity in the modern world. Unfortunately, it's the same party that doesn't believe in funding a decent public education for everybody, as well. Hopefully, we'll vote all of them out in a few months, and we can begin to fix some of these major problems.

[yawn] Yup, that's a good way to describe your post. Meaningless dismissal of science because you suspect that some of the scientists involved are not of the political ideology that you like. What fucking bore. If you want to argue or discuss, at least have a point.

This is one of the big reasons I'm happy I don't have kids. The Earth is going to be a very unpleasant place for humans over the next few centuries, at least. I don't understand how/why people still have kids, knowing full well that not only does it further burdens what we have left of our fragile ecosystem, but those kids are going to have to contend with all of the fallout of a collapsing ecosystem. I'll be gone in the next few decades, and I'm not going to have to live through the worst of it, luckily.

A big part of age discrimination in the US is health insurance costs. They get stupid expensive as people get older. We desperately need a modern health system immediately (one that isn't for-profit, or tied to employment).

Our household puts 100% of our paper waste into our compost. It uses zero energy and is 100% efficient in terms of resource re-use. Much better than recycling, which takes an enormous amount of energy. If we ate Pringles, we'd too the entire paper/cardboard part in the compost.

Improving infrastructure isn't going to bankrupt the US. Improving infrastructure is a great way to help the economy, in fact. The only reason it won't happen is because the rich don't want their taxes to go up a single penny, and we can't do anything with tax levels being as low as they are now.

Looking at the chart in tfa, what the article really shows is "at the worst conceivable case, the earth is returning to a temperature state more reflective of the bulk of its history"...but that probably doesn't carry the message of panic you're aiming for?

Neat! Humans haven't existed on Earth for the "bulk of its history".

I'm shocked that the lowest priced generic stuff sold by a low price seller are junk. Shocked.

Well, considering just the fires on the West Coast, I think that the proper language to address climate change might be: "Holy fuck, we all need to address this right fucking now."

Fortunately, our emissions are already quite a way below the worst "RCP8.5" scenario shown in the graph.

I don't think that's true. Citation?

"Violent rioter" as per your link: "Kristina Narayan was arrested, along with 58 others, on September 5 and charged with interfering with a Peace Officer, a misdemeanor. Narayan was released without bail."

From your link about "Biden bailing out Antifa criminals: "At least 13 Biden campaign staff members posted on Twitter on Friday and Saturday that they made donations to the Minnesota Freedom Fund, which opposes the practice of cash bail, or making people pay to avoid pre-trial imprisonment. The group uses donations to pay bail fees in Minneapolis. " Yeah, they're trying to get rid of cash bail, not "Bailing out antifa". They'd bail out anybody.

So really, go fuck yourself, you lying sack of shit.
