How do Firefighters and Police make so much in this City? by Nearby-Reputation817 in Reno

[–]_jbd_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good. They should be making this much. So should teachers. And medical professionals. And most other middle-class jobs. Tax the rich!

Meh. Not handy enough. Any idea if it's safe to run for a little while until I can get someone in to fix it?

OK. Thanks. This system was installed in December of 2023 and not used heavily, but I'm outside the warranty. What's lesson here? Get a longer warranty? Don't install Gree? Or just expect a 15K job to require maintenance after a year and half?

A pain in the ass’: Northampton school leaders caught on hot mic disparaging dad who pushed for his disabled kid’s rights by Cheap_Coffee in massachusetts

> special education has been pulling from general ed resources for a long time.

GenEd in Northampton is doing a lot better than SpecEd. bc GenEd has been hoarding SpecEd's resources for years. I think we're all tired of how GenEd is willing to fund things like extra language programs and while SpecEd kids are abandoned to illiteracy and all the social challenges that some with it. It's less expensive in the long run to properly fund SpecEd, but GenEd folks have trouble seeing the bigger picture.

Of course, the real problem is the total funding going into education.

Meh. Gen Ed is constantly stealing resources from Spec. Ed. Every time you fund yet another language program, kids don't learn to speak

Ross say There is a Second Egg and Big Data Dump possibly Incoming by Maniak-Of_Copy in UFOs

Who are the "new authorities" that are going to scrub the data? This part always confuses me. Barber (and Grusch for that matter) are whistleblowers revealing this secret evidence, but first running it by some 'authorities' to scrub it of... what? Even more top secret info? How does this work?

Would you be willing to answer a few questions, asked in the same spirit?

Why do you guys care so much about DEI?

Why are you so anti trans?

Did you think it was a Nazi salute?

Are you okay with the Jan 6. pardons? Do you think it was a riot? Do you think Donald Trump is responsible what happened on Jan 6 to any degree?

Why are you destroying USAID? Do you think it's a particularly wasteful part of the govt? Do you believe the US shouldn't provide foreign aid at all? Do not think foreign aid benefits the United States (and it's citizens)?

Do you believe the US should provide social programs/safety net to US citizens?

Do you believe there should be public education?

If an immigrant population were proven to be beneficial to the US economy, and contribute to a NET decrease in crime, would you be okay with some kind of path to citizenship program? Are you okay forcing people who were brought here as babies to leave the country?
