I feel this issue acutely: I lived in north & central Florida for nearly 3 decades, and began my teaching career there in 1999. There are many excellent teachers in FL who are no doubt facing the crucial and heartbreaking choice now of whether to change careers or move out of state due to the foolishness they're being asked to display in their classrooms. I know several teachers who have left the profession due to low pay, lack of respect, and overall frustration.
Prager U is a tragic joke - a classic example of putting lipstick on a pig. Instead of honestly portraying itself as a conservative "think tank" (even that is a grotesque misnomer), it mispresents itself as an institute of higher learning. There is no attempt to hide the overt deception - it is right there in the name, for all to see. And yet millions of Americans still cite it as an authoritative source of information.
Speaking of Africa, there are a lot of very good things happening on that continent. Now that the colonizers have been mostly eradicated and the young people of the continent are being exposed to the Internet, I believe the next generation or two will produce some major accomplishments.
Because in the end, very good things tend to occur in spite of the best efforts of the monied interests.
Keep bashing Biden, nuclear, CCS, and prepare to enjoy swimming in 105 degree oceans. Just like the "Green" Party elected W and TFG, the inability of so many climate activists to be constructive serves the fossil fuel industry better than anything else.
thank you Bill. Do you have access to figures that point to actual reduction of power being generated by fossil fuels even as we increase power produced by renewable fuels. My fear is that our society/economy is just adding on "green energy" use and increasing total energy demand and use, and total resource use - but not facing the need for reduction in total energy use - ie. degrowth in the industrial rich nations is essential - this is unfortunately happening with cars and trucks - the addition of electric vehicles is ADDING TO THE TOTAL NUMBER of vehicles around the world and in the US - not actually reducing the number of ICE vehicles....ie. these huge hunks of metal and other materials that we like to have as our personal transport pods (even if we plug them in) - are still not really changing how we operate in our biosphere. thanks, Jo Wright
So excited for all the fashion info included. I’ve been looking into this for a newsletter to find I am WAY BEHIND things in progress already including the UN! Will keep working anyway especially watching ad after ad for SHEIN on platform X previously known as Twitter! Newsletter cannot possibly hurt; bring out practical aspects immediately as in water shortage 💦💦💦 by 2030 if changes in production not addressed! Bless you, Bill! 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼
Fish and soft shell everything will be coming up precooked pretty soon, the Gulf states that keep electing idiots are going to lose their livelihoods and seafood lovers everywhere will be sol. Vote 💙
