The fact that teacher pay TOPS OUT at 90k, on average, nationally? That's criminal. Teachers should be making 120k a year, minimum, across the board. I want the people creating the next generation of citizens to be happy, healthy, and financially secure. That only benefits us!

The state with the lowest average teacher salary in the US is Mississippi, at around $48,000 a year. How much does your state pay teachers?

Remember when that judge got in trouble for sending juveniles to detention just because it made the system money and everyone involved in criminal justice was like "...yeah that tracks."? Anyway, this is terrifying.

Organ harvesting from prisoners in exchange for lessened prison sentences. I don't know what to say because I'm so utterly floored at the monstrosity of such a thought. theguardian.com/us-news/2023/f

Don't ever let people forget how magical it was that, for once, "can I afford it?" was NOT a consideration for getting medical care in the USA, for everyone, across the board. We could have this all the time, if we demand it. And we should.

The White House ending the public health emergency declaration terminates medical coverage (COVID vaccines, treatments, testing) for the uninsured that is a basic human right in any other high-income country.

This is a big deal. Metro has NEVER done this in the past - it's always been recruitment from full time drivers. If you want a good job doing cool things, go apply!

King County Metro is hiring Light Rail operators directly. Haven’t seen this before, usually they are promoted from bus operator. governmentjobs.com/careers/kingco

This goes for so much in the US: Organizations like UL, NFPA, etc. control so much about our lives but are completely unaccountable to the public in any meaningful way.

this is a good time to ask why the College Board, a private organization answerable only to its own board of trustees (all corporate consultants), has been allowed to operate for so long as a monopolistic quasi-government agency that runs education in the US without oversight

"I need a hug," she whispered. "We are monsters," came the gravelly reply from under her bed. "Yes, but you're my monsters. Everybody needs monsters on their side." "You shouldn't have to." "No. Can you change that?" Silence. Then: "Close your eyes." It was a good hug. "Thanks."

Very true - but I always emphasize harm reduction. It's a LOT easier mitigate the environmental damage from a colbalt mine than the damage of talepipe emissions across the entire planet. It's a win! I'll take it.

Realistically, carbon capture and electric cars will have to be part of any climate solution, but a good reason its valuable to push for alternatives is that there are other emissions other than carbon that are damaging to our health involved in the use of both

Good news! Frankly, all of Metro's subway stations need a good deep clean and upgraded lighting/passenger info systems - to say nothing of more seating, bathrooms, and some retail. Oh, yeah, and headways of no less than 10 minutes from 6 am to 10 pm.

Please. I'm safe, for now, in urban California - but many people are working to change that, and knowing I have a place to run to...knowing I have hope? That matters.

Also, it's $1.2M to build an "affordable" housing unit these days in SF. Embarrassingly, nearby residents wanted this building cut from 7 to 4 stories, which would've shot per unit costs through the roof even more.

2550 Irving truly takes the cake in per-unit costs, however. The developers are seeking $106,533,068 in funding. That amounts to a showstopping $1,183,700.75 per unit. Yes, $1.18M PER UNIT.

Opinion | The Inside Joke That Became Trump’s Big Lie
The lie that Trump won the 2020 election has grown so powerful because it is yoked to an older deception: the idea that American politics is a joke.
