Congress is supposed to control the purse, not the president. Another blatant illegal overreach of authority, that the GOP will ignore. Californa should not be paying federal taxes. Californa pays more federal tax then it receives and with this, its even more askew.

Trump is spitting in the face od our students, families, teachers and communities.

"poldren" thats nice, yeah. People around here seem to be just done, rampant corruption, almost all the city money goes into the pcoket of the councilmembers or thier business partners. New mayor at least has got some infrastructure projects done, even if it seems half the money was embezzlemed. Compromise is good but also hard....sheriffs have been trying to crack down on atvs because quite alot of people here go around in atvs harassing pedestrians and homeless in the area. And no one feels safe being outside, some shootings every week or so

I'll look it those speed pedelec, maybe something like that in the states. Need to also really organize some group thats not just trying to lobby for more weed gardens, maybe get some change.

I think I have to seriously consider an ebike.

as for the busses theyve have been in a downward spiral the last 20 years. Shitty routes mean less riders, less riders mean less busses which means longer routes which means less riders. Regularly most of these big 40 something passenger busses they run have 1 passengers. Only people that take them are old, disabled, people that have no other choice.

For shits and gigles after they changed the route I used to take (was 40 min for that 14 miles 2 busses) I took the bus from where id need to commute. 3 busses, 14 miles. It took over 3 hours and the most egregious part was the longest leg which was the 3.5 miles on the local bus that went from my local grocery to my hosue that took a mind numbing 87 minutes. It makes me laugh how SLOW that bus ride was, now they canceled that one so you have to walk the 3~ miles but really you actually save time.

yeah, he outlines the problems really clearly and how it can be solved. I was just talking about it with some people yesterday, with the current Californa contentions about removing minimum parking requirements for affordable housing.

Alot of people are protesting turning ugly lots into affordable housing...ugh. Literally the reasons we can't have nice things. "Parking in multistory garages instead of a giant 500 car lot so there affordable housing is unacceptable, its inconvenient and it will bring in undesirable" - basically Menlo

Friend of mine lives outside LA, they used a motel 6 into temporary housing for unhoused, no problem. They went to make it housing units for said homeless, locals got pissed, fought toooth and nail, said itd bring in undeasaribles, increase crime etc etc.

Officials were confused bcs the people they where complaining about had been living there for 3 years already jus they where converting it from "motel 6" to basically an apartment building. smh.

Mixed use buildings and affordable housing without needing cars is such a dream 15-20 minutes cycle would be nice, shame its so uncommon and so disliked by some people no one gets it. To my closest store its a 10 minute drive / ~hour walk (before they canceled the bus route it was also a bit over an hour but 2 hours back) city has a quarter mile / 0.4km of bike lane and alot of streets dont have sidewalks

40k people, smh (ofc its partly because of the extensive blatant corruption here but ah)

Hmm, I haven't fully looked into e-bikes. Maybe 60 minutes isn't unachavaible. another problem is alot of the route doesn't have sidewalks, let alone bike lanes....at least its paved.

= ( Everytime I see a fuck cars or pro bicycle post I get sad, sitting in my U.S. urban city. I want to ride a bike to work, I want to use public transport but 70 minutes one way by bike is a bit too long and its still half as long as taking the bus woukd take. and no I will never shut up my gripping that a 14 mile drive should not take 2.5 hours by bus. (For context my commute is 20-30 minutes by car)

This also means people assign a negative bias to men, it s relevant in educstion. Studies have found teachers are more likely to find the behavior of a male student wrong even if they did nothing wrong and/or the same behavior was done by a female student, they also will observe male students more then female.

Also, learning or behavioral conditions are less likely to be recognized in female studies. For example a young student that is hyper focused on rules, does not speak up, stays very still, etc when that is not age expected behavior, observers will commonly attribute such behavior as "lady like" and ignore obvios signs of behavioral conditions.

yay for unconscious bias training that is now getting persecuted..

It could be tricky if it goes through. The definitions are too broad. Thier biggest concern are schools that dont meet meal best practices, but if yhey are already not meeting those, why would they substantially follow these?

Also how far reaching would this be? The school I work at, if they pre slice apples, they add some pineapple juice to help prevent them oxidising, that seems to run afoul of the letter of the law. and the HS I went to, it was a small place, independent study program. So kids where there 2 hours a week, there was no cafeteria. The school kept kraft mac and cheese, instant ramen and some other things if any kid was hungry, that certainly would run afoul but the alternative is just not to have any food available?

My only question is, where are they getting the beavers? Great to see ecological restoration

Early childhood development and history, and no, while the whole point of my degrees is how to teach children, I cannot teach how to teach children to children.

In the age old, wise words of President Hoover, Don't need to do anything, the great depression is a poor person problem. All this just affects the poor people, no need to lift a finger. /sarcasm/ (Although that is why he didn't do anything)

this genuinely breaks my heart. I didn't follow them as much but had seen alot of thier stuff. They did amazing work. This is absolutely gut wrenching. Condolences to the bereaved, the world got a little dimmer.
