and your implied assumption that ALL schools teach it.. is simply incorrect. Another failed assumption is that trans folks are a new concept.. it is old news. It has simply came into focus as some seek to have them accepted and some do not. Lastly.. you imply that those few who do teach it ... spend a majority of their time teaching this one niche topic. That is beyond comical, I have to say.

I need to read this article. From my experience, this is true. I am no chef but can make all of the food that I want to eat. We are trying to teach my kids how to make food but they are as of yet indifferent. They just say, "But dad.. just go get it from the store or ___ restaurant". In my older years, I find cooking to be almost therapeutic. The chopping of veggies, the trimming of the meat, etc. demands your focus and therefore the outside noise gets put aside.

Modern politics is more about emotions therefore hate than ever before. So the OP's very subjective and hate-filled definition is simply par for the course.

The high cost of housing is mostly due to the terrain and limited supply. The demand for housing near the water in San Fran far, far exceeds the supply. Therefore drives the price up. The same is true in LA and SD near the ocean. That drives folks out inland into the suburbs where prices are not quite as high. Do you ever consider that high tech jobs are different? Just think about for a second. If you work in a furniture factory.. you have to bring the inputs to you. Second, you can only produce so many tables and then have to export them back out. If you write software, you only have to make it once. After that, you duplicate it over and over again. You may have to update it but that is minimal. I know all about this.. this is what I do. I create scripts that retrieve this data, scramble it around, do calculations to this column, and so on. The first writing of the script can take weeks or months. Therefore, you can pay one person in software development a ton of money because their end product can be duplicated easily with no need for further inputs. Where do they live? San Jose and San Francisco.. places with limited land due to being next to the ocean and having serious mountains to the east. Now put it together.. high salaries, high demand for land, and limited supply.. that equals high prices in certain areas.

"Forced"... you are quite the master of hyperbole. I have two school aged kids and there is zero evidence of this being forced upon them. Yes, it appears in various shows on TV but we have this amazing thing called a remote which gives us the power to watch or not watch. Apparently, you do not possess such a device or do not know how to use it.

I do not see this is a zero sum game where the choice once lost can't be restored. The courts will taketh away and then discover that their efforts were for naught and then laws will be passed to prevent this.

I find the obsession with the trans topic both amusing and sad.

When Trump wins (which I do not want).. the silliness of this will get exposed and possibly some consequences handed out. I find that results speak louder than words.

😄

Its a statement of how impactful it would be. My guess is that Trump wins and yet does not win Colorado (on the ballot or not). I think that would demonstrate just how silly this is.

Simple Question... when did Colorado last have a Republican Presidential candidate win the majority of its votes? On the ballot or not.. he is not going to win Colorado. If I was in charge (which I am not), I would keep Trump on the ballot. I have zero respect for him but I say let the voting populace decide.

My prediction is that Trump wins in 2024 with 280 to 284 electoral votes. Georgia and Wisconsin being two states that flip from blue to red.

Its called being realistic.. Give it a try.

Facts and data do not back up your claim. The colorado river water allocation was decided legally.. Guess what? the other states agreed to this. So there was no theft or unwillingness. Wyoming, Utah, Arizona, and Nevada (all of which had considerably less population in 1920 than today)... all signed off on it.

My point is that it is a case-by-case situation. There are some instances where even in the absence of an explicit policy, you can tell that they only hire based on race.

Oh.. damn that was good.

Folks try to claim that our recent hiring of non-whites is them being diversity hires and that we only hire them because they are hispanic, Indian (subcontinent), or female. This assumption is not founded in any actual data. Recently, started recruiting for another new hire and what do you know... very low number of candidates. Most likely not a lot of whites just from looking at the names. Have had the recruitment out for 9 days and so far 2 applicants.

Good stuff. With probability of less than 100%.. there is a chance that you are wrong and a chance that you are not. In a lot of these court cases, they faced almost insurmountable odds. They can't be taken seriously without hard evidence. To get the ballots, machines, etc.. they need to prove that malicious intents did happen. But they can't prove that without the ballots, machines, etc. I have access to the voter registration database and even then can only tell you if someone is registered, the address, their affiliation and if a ballot was mailed to them. As to what they actually voted... that is behind locked doors.

I will agree that this was not a true insurrection. I think Trump used vague enough language to cover his tracks. Some of his followers simply took it too far. He did not give explicit directive to anyone other than Pence. As for election fraud, I am someone that does not accept theories unless the evidence is absolute. I need to see the physical evidence with my own eyes. That being said... I find most examples of supposed election fraud to be little more than speculation. Georgia and Michigan, those situations were worthy of eye-brow raising. As for Nevada and Arizona.... the complete lack of evidence makes those claims bogus. The so-called experts in those two specific cases.. relied solely on probability. Do you judge the outcome of a game on the score or the probability of one team winning? I have access to the voter registration database in Nevada and while you can believe me or not.. voter fraud claims are bogus. There were less votes cast than ballots mailed out.

We only advertise the opening on the state of nevada's HR site.. so not a mexican magazine by any means. My theory is that the white candidates leave the state after graduation. They want to move up in the world and so move to the usual SF, LA, Sacramento, or Seattle. The job title is Economist. It demands that they come to an office in Carson City (population 53,000). The relatively low salary combined with almost certainly a 35 to 50 mile commute one way deter a lot of candidates.

Trump... is there a better example of verbal diarrhea in recent history.

DeSantis has done nothing from a legal perspective to warrant impeachment. I do not think highly of him but I value the law more than my own subjective opinion of him or any other.

Not the most talented in the comedic arts but thought that this one fit the moment. As for the topic.. Jan. 6.. the gift that keeps on giving. Month after year, year after year, we will keep debating this and yet nothing will change.

Total value of agricultural products grown in CA and sold: $49.097,413,000 Florida ranks 23rd in value of agricultural output at $8,674,990,000. If you break it down by crop.. FL only outdoes CA in very few crops.. Oranges and certain niche tropical fruits.

probably not going to be all that impactful. Trump was not going to win Colorado
