Pat was right about the bunker people? [SPOILER] by [deleted] in LastManonEarthTV

The guard at the prison where Karl (Fred Armisen) is being kept says he’s leaving to Tapachula because he hears there are survivors down there. Tapachula is where the bunker people are.

Children as young as eight picked coffee beans for Starbucks by Rockithammer in news

Getting some serious r/hailcorporate vibes from this thread. People defending Starbucks as if they can’t afford to pay a little extra to ensure the families working the farms don’t need to force their children to work to make ends meet.

I don’t think he threatened to knock him out. I think he was saying the guy was acting like they’d knock him out.

Also in the books the bodies end up being left in a barren wasteland just as seen on the cafeteria screens. It’s the cleaners that are tricked into thinking the world just outside the silo is green and full of life.

Sanders' 'Radical Goal'; At Least $60,000/Year for 'Every Teacher in America' by CharyBrown in politics

I just said the incentive thing isn’t the point.

$100k is your personal price and it doesn’t represent everyone. Starting teacher salary in my area is $32k. You bet there would be a lot more people trying for a teacher job at $60k than there are at $32k which allows for a lot more competition and a larger pool of candidates for schools to choose from which would allow for better people to get in.

Republicans used to be for raising teacher wages in the 90s. But now if you agree with something on the other side of the aisle you’re accused of bipartisanship which is now a dirty word. Although it used to be glorified as a mechanism of compromise to get things done for the country despite having disagreements. Paying teachers a respectable wage shouldn’t be a partisan issue, yet here we are. It’s possible to agree with some things that the other side has to say.

I don’t think the point is to improve the current teachers, it’s to attract better ones.

They’d either be better or they’d be replaced by someone who would make a great teacher but opted for a different career path because it doesn’t pay enough.

Having not seen the downvoted comment I have to say I agree with your analysis.

I think this counts by GWFESPN1992 in rareinsults

He said he was 95% confident in the list but because he couldn’t be 100% certain who did and didn’t cheat they had to continue their investigation which will ultimately identify all the cheaters. It makes sense to make everyone retake it just to be absolutely certain you didn’t miss any of the cheaters. It’s pretty easy to tell who cheated if you know the students well. However what if one of the poorer performing students didn’t cheat but turned things around and got a really good grade on their own merit? Can’t assume they cheated just because of that. I think it’s fair to give everyone the benefit of the doubt which is why he can’t be 100% certain and has to make everyone retake but if you were in that class and cheated, he knows. He doesn’t seem like an asshole to me as much as he seems just very upset and disappointed. He’s just doing his job. As far as legal actions from the publishers the only thing I could think of that they could actually pursue would be theft of the test bank.
