I'll give you a much easier way to improve student test scores. Immediately fire - and permanently ban from future employment in any educational or governmental setting - any bureaucrat, administrator or teacher who was still advocating for remote learning as of September 1st, 2020.
If some woke ideologues infiltrated every Christian organization and declared the Bible as non-canon, would it make it true?
Funny you should use that example, as they're in the process of trying to do that already. Agree with your general sentiment.
Problem #1: Tragedy of the commons in action. If it's "public", then it is someone else's job to take care of it.
Problem #2: Everything government does costs orders of magnitude more. See John Stossel's report from 2017 on a $2 million bathroom in NYC
If only that was true. Of course, here in the US, the minute people decided to elect someone who was, according to our current president
articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man.
it rapidly set racial relations back decades and just made them ramp up the white guilt angle.
I did like Tennant in his original Doctor performance, but constantly bringing back old incarnations is just pandering at this point. And, of course, following a few "see, here's the people you liked!" specials, it's right back to diversity hires with a black dude whose only major role so far was apparently a Netflix series about high school students coming to terms with their sexuality.
Agreed. In fact, there shouldn't be any further aid at all (with one exception, below). The US has already given Ukraine more aid in this than the entire Russian military budget last year. And everyone keeps talking about how the Russian military is shattered and helpless before the might of Zelensky, so there's no logical need for any more aid to be sent.
The one exception is that every politician who keeps voting to send aid to Ukraine, every talking head on TV saying we need to send aid to Ukraine, and every single member of the CIA, past and present, from Burns down to a newly hired file clerk, needs to be loaded onto a cargo ship with nothing more than the clothes on their back, (any remaining space on the ship can be filled by Reddit jannies) and then sailed out to Odessa. All of their assets should be seized, auctioned off and sent to the people (no politicians, average people, even if it is just air-dropping money from planes) in the dozens of countries the CIA has fomented coups in over the past half century. And finally, disband the CIA and any similar office permanently.
The overwhelming majority won't. Heck, the overwhelming majority probably won't even care about it. They'll still just dutifully trot up to the voting booth, vote for (D) downticket and then trot back home to ignore most political stuff for another 2 years.
Now, I've never used AirBnB (spending the night in a random person's house just seems creepy to me), but what is the AirBnB owner going to do if, on your last day, you just say "Nah, I'm not vacuuming your house for you, or doing your laundry. Thanks for the room! Bye!"

From February 2013 until November 2013, I went entirely unpaid for all of my contract work. I was never given the payment promised for anything I did. When I was hired full time and I brought that up, I was told that “it’s been so long already, it’s not really a big deal is it?” And then the subject was never brought up again.
Ff you never got paid for 10 months of contract work that's an open and shut lawsuit waiting to happen. And second, if you never got paid for 10 months of contract work, why would you possibly accept a full-time job with them?
Fake story seems fake to me.
I'll preface this with the following: Since you mention essay I'm assuming this is school-related? If so, do not - under any circumstances - say that Obamacare increased insurance prices. Because that is (virtually) impossible to prove unless you can somehow get a letter from some insurance company executive outright stating that. And without some solid proof, a biased professor will just slap a "correlation does not equal causation" stamp on that section of your paper and start taking points off.
That said, Obamacare did increase costs. And while you can't say that in an academic setting what you can say is something like "Obamacare did nothing to address increasing insurance costs and in a number of cases those costs have increased faster than pre-Obamacare". Because that is easily provable by looking at trends over time. One source, for example, is right here Health care costs in the US have been going up faster than inflation for decades, and if you look at the graphs towards the bottom of that link you'll notice there is no slowing down in the growth and a suspicious spike from 2010-2011, almost as if some bill was signed into law in 2010 which impacted things greatly.
If you want actual firm data, probably the best way to do it is how Ahaus667 suggested - grab single HMO plans from several health insurance companies from several years over the last few decades and compare prices over time. Only potential issue there is that what the plans cover will have changed, in large part due to a number of laws - most notably Obamacare - mandating more things be covered and more people be covered. But, there's not much you can do about that.
“If this was not the most perfect death penalty case, then why do we have the death penalty at all?” she said.
We shouldn't have a death penalty. While there are some people who commit truly heinous things for which a good hanging, shooting, helicopter ride or similar may be warranted (and this kid falls into that category), I do not trust the government to have that kind of power over someone. Especially given the government's demonstrated ability for years to target people for less than straightforward/valid reasons.
“I’m relieved because had the death penalty been awarded, it would have been a decades-long process of appeals until the shooter was executed.”
And that's another issue. In cases of a death penalty sentence, you're looking at years for work and ridiculous amounts of money before it ever happens.
I'd disagree there. She's not that much to write home about, and on top of that the pose and the smirk make me want to just smack her upside the head. At least in terms of looks, the big-titty AI-generated girls from a few weeks ago beat her easily IMO
