  • Can someone eli5 why this is a good thing in an aging economy already struggling to meet pension demands.

    Not trying to be saucy I just don’t get it.

    Edit: nevermind I missed a important part of the article, it’s in response to universities profiteering off of international students with exorbitant rates specific the them, makes sense.

    However I have to question if oversight and punishment of universities profiteering with less than stellar academic outcomes would be more effective than capping intentional student enrollment. Doesn’t sound like it directly addresses the issue.

    Touch screens in cars.

    When I’m driving I need a tactile immediate response that is easy to understand without looking at it.

    Touch screens are for controls that change so you can take advantage of the dynamic nature of a screen for the static needs of a car and the immediate feedback you need, make them the worst possible solution.




  • No, I was talking specifically about teaching the theory of evolution in Florida and the law they passed which prevents theories from being taught if a parent complains about them and what’s the only theory that parents are going to complain about why the theory of evolution. In several republican-leaning states so many books have been banned with so much educational value that librarians have had death threats for for refusing to comply from right-wing voters.

    And the party routinely proposes and passes laws that give tax breaks to corporations bailouts you name it. All while repeatedly curtailing efforts to have any sort of safety nets for workers like better minimum wages, better access to food, better access to housing and better access to health care.

    And you can say it’s all in the name of fiscal responsibility but it’s not it’s been proven in front of them with their own numbers that socializing or health care system would not only increase quality but decrease cost. You know why it doesn’t get done because their donors come from the medical insurance industry and it would stop lining their pockets.


  • I sure hope you’re taking the piss because Republican governors have been banning all sorts of books that range from ones that teach about trans rights and climate change for some time.

    I’m at work right now but if you want sources I can provide them it’s just going to take a couple hours.

    Moreover they’ve made it illegal to teach theories that the parents have an issue with obviously slanted towards stopping the education on evolution.

    I understand that you may have your own values and that’s fine but it doesn’t change that the Republican party has been staunchly anti science and anti worker for the majority of recent history
