And we didn’t abolish slavery for 89 years after declaring independence. We can absolutely agree change is usually painfully, unnecessarily, terribly slow but it does happen, requiring time, work, and sacrifice

our lives are worse than four, eight, twelve, sixteen, or however many four years you want to go back our lives get worse every election no matter who wins

Is what I was replying to and it’s objectively false.

An important caveat is that positive societal change is absolutely not inevitable, generations have fought to improve the injustices of their times and we must carry on their legacy lest we allow their sacrifices to be in vain

I bet they looked a lot more like the constellations before light pollution and fossil fuels became widespread

Tell that to my friends who’s parents weren’t allowed to get married until our lifetimes or who’s great grandparents were classified as 3/5ths of a person

I mean it explicitly says it’s not Gen Z’s fault they don’t have the requisite training. They want to learn more than the rest of the population, there just aren’t good opportunities to learn the relatively niche skills.

I totally agree the article should have been written way better, and I question why it focuses on just gen z when a lack of sustainable talent seems like a multigenerational problem, but improving training being most critical for gen Z as they will be taking over more and more of the workforce in the oncoming years (critically during the window of opportunity to reverse more of the effects of climate change) makes sense to me

Hmm maybe we should try holding people accountable for a change, crazy thought I know

Ah yes Tucker Carlson, famous liberal

What?? The whole reason for this is because the US is too focused on their issues at home and have abdicated their self imposed role as defenders of democracy in Europe. That Poland feels they need to build up their own military to absolutely insane levels and forge deeper defense alliances within Europe is not at all kowtowing to either Putin or America, it’s finally building up the sovereign resources that they and the rest of Europe should have been working on for decades to void the need to bend over and spread it for their preferred superpower.

Let’s go Denmark, hopefully you can convince more of Europe that freedom, democracy, and the right to self determination are worth fighting and making sacrifices for

A friend who worked at Tesla for a little while swore Elon was told by the engineering team that the window would break if he tried that and he just didn’t believe them. Not sure if it’s true, but if it is that’s honestly worse than poor testing imo

What an impressively bad take, I’m almost impressed. The UN is bad for not stopping the war and is warmongering by supplying weapons to Ukraine, but of course we shouldn’t criticize Russia for… oh I don’t know… starting the fucking war or continuing it for over a year for no defensible reason?
