Not all agriculture is done in full sun. Ginseng, coffee and other important crops do best in shade. And you can put the panels up on grazing land. The critters often appreciate the shade which approximates a savanna environment.

Taking out the fascist figureheads does nothing about the ideology and forces behind the fascism. Make being a Nazi something to be ashamed of again.

It will be more than 12 hours before it happens. But that's small consolation. Once political violence is in the mix it can very quickly spiral out of control

Unfortunately, I have to agree with you. Also the SS did not do their job. Before the attempt on Trump, people in the crowd were pointing out that guy in camouflage on the roof of that building, yet the secret service/law enforcement did not respond. And the counter sniper waited until the perp took numerous shots to respond.

Will they get angry enough to do something about the GOPers that are causing the problems? Probably not.

When I left academia to go to the private sector, I got a 40% bump in pay, and worked at least 30% less. And I didn't have to write grants to support my program. When I was an academic, I thought people never came back to academia from the private sector because they couldn't. I quickly found out that it was because they'd have to be crazy to come back. I wouldn't have returned to the university for anything less than an endowed chair. And that was NOT going to happen.

Teachers in the US. Hands down.

I have a Latin surname. I am sure it's cost me in some circles. But in others it's an advantage. At least for me I think it kind of evens out.

NGL. That is some really fucked up shit.

Are Latinos over represented in your company with respect to the population? That would be a defensible position for your boss on this. I mean if you had 85% Latinos that could be taken as evidence of some sort of ethnic bias in favor of Latinos.

The Catholic Church is a oligarchic Republic in that the Popes are elected. But only the Cardinals do the electing.

Ranked choice and similar electoral systems are a direct threat to the monopoly on power held by the Dems and the GOPers- which is why we don't have some sort of a ranked choice balloting system instead of first past the post.
