  • Affirmative Action helped get rid of all white classrooms and workplaces, it worked. Taking it away means we’re just going to go back to an all white America. I’m sorry to tell you this but people are not inherently good or bad, we have to make laws like AA otherwise things would never change. We had to force the South to desegregate at gun point

    A deeply racist state like Texas is never going to have racial equality without being forced to, just like the South was never going to desegregate unless forced to

    And in California where they got rid of AA in 1996, Black attendance in higher education immediately dropped and it hasn’t even recovered yet to what it was before 1996







  • Yeah there’s really no need for so many dams anymore, they were built to power hydroelectric stations that are no longer needed so this is a good thing.

    “Why not just let nature take its course? Well, nature didn’t take its course when dams got put in. We can’t pretend this gigantic change in the landscape has not happened and we can’t just ignore the fact that invasive species are a big problem in the west and in California,” said Dave Meurer, director of community affairs for Resource Environmental Solutions, the company leading the restoration project. “Our goal is to give nature a head start.”

    Which is another really good point, sadly there’s a lot of invasive plant species that were unknowingly brought over by Europeans mostly for ornamental purposes which have had a devastating effects on native plant life



  • That commitment, with no details, follows Putin’s promise to start shipping 25,000 to 50,000 tons of grain for free to each of six African nations in the next three to four months — an amount dwarfed by the 725,000 tons shipped by the U.N. World Food Program to several hungry countries, African and otherwise, under the grain deal.

    Jesus, 725,000 tons compared to 50, it’s no wonder African Nations are not at all happy

    Also it should be noted that only a handful of African leaders went, as opposed to back in 2019. African Nations are well aware it seems that backing Russia is a bad idea

    I just wish they’d kick out China next, both Russia and China have had a terrible influence on Africa and have kept them in bondage for decades.

    Is invading Tibet and the raping and killing everyone there not a crime to you? I agree with Palestine but don’t pretend like China doesn’t try to invade Taiwan every other week, they literally fire missiles into Taiwanese airspace all the time. The Uyghur genocide; invading Mongolia and forcing everyone there to mine coal at gunpoint?

    No country around China wants to be a part of China, that’s their right, so why defend a country that has nothing but Imperialistic intentions if you’re anti-Imperialist? China loves to whip black people to death in Africa too, is that cool with you? I hope it’s not

    Many tech jobs can be done from home in this day and age, the office space is meaningless when you can instantly conference without an issue via video and audio, and there are a million and one ways to connect with employees and employers that don’t require that massive space anymore. Would be better to replace some of that office space with living space, that’s a more sensible use of the area. We’ll need more living space most likely in the future.
