With some of the politicians in power these days, it will be pushed as finally putting an end to her climate lies or some other bullshit culture war topic.

Thats the problem, on average rurally living folks tend to be more conservative.

Fear and arousal

On your point about drawing air in with the ac, most people without ac will try to use fans to achieve the same thing, often trying to run a fan from one open window aimed at another to pull air through the house. If you have multiple stories opening upper windows and blowing air out while pulling air in through lower windows is also effective. Adding a fan to blow air up the stairs can also help.

100% agree. If whoopi goldberg had chose their name for gender purposes, i could see them getting hate and being told it's a stupid reason etc.

It is their responsibility to ensure that everything beyond their target is safe before firing. This can become a grey area whem walls or other concealment is behind the target or when the target is threatening enough people that the risk may be worth it to end the threat, such as injuring 1 bystander to save 4 other victims from being shot, almost like the trolley problem.

Its just a think tank bro, it isn't even legislation bro.

People always complain that socialism is a slippery slope into fascism yet are somehow blind that capitalism is doing the same thing.

I use spotify and i was very reluctant to start. Eventually i caved because i wanted an algorithm to help me find new music and for the most part spotify does a decent job at that. As things get more expensive it will be one of the first things I'll cut out.

Some people aren't great at white collar positions. I work trades and my boss's grandson is a teen who is very smart and works hard on some jobs, but he struggles in school. White collar positons for people with high energy or long term focus issues can be difficult for them. We aren't able to let the robots do everything yet so we still need people to work trades. Schools should be providing quality pathways to both.

I think the bigger issue with the trades is the overtime culture and excessive hours most of them face. With better hours with the same pay i think the whole industry and workers standards would benefit.

There were entire generations told diplomas were the only path to success and only "stupid people or drop outs" would do trades or jobs without a degree. Anecdotally speaking, most of the people I know who have jobs paying enough to purchase a house are in the trades, and most of them have phenomenal job security due to being hard to replace with another worker.

I hate to admit it, but our problems run deeper and farther back than trumps presidency. He isn't making things better but we were already on this course without him in the picture.
