Yeah but what about microplastics?

ISS research is all a waste of money anyway. With a handful of exceptions it is all low-impact research that gets published in third-rate journals and gets few citations. Check if you don’t believe me. Real science in space is done by uncrewed vehicles. Human spaceflight is just pork.

I can't speak to universities, but K-12 schools are not "underfunded" depending on what exactly you mean. In terms of total money allocated to them, they receive more money per student than private schools, with teacher pay & benefits eating up more than half the funds.

So they just keep concentrating on the things that are a BIG DEAL to the affluent white people who run the party (especially staffers) but that the rest of the country doesn't give a shit about, especially not their once-loyal working class and minority voting base.

Democrats are useless. They had decades on easy mode from having the media on their side as well as the hyper-loyal working class vote and black vote. Now those things are changing. They're like a rich kid who never learned any skills trying to get a job at a business not owned by their father.

That’s not true. Poverty is our natural state, it doesn’t require an explanation. It already exists. Only wealth requires an explanation.

I’m a little-o orthodox Christian and a published, PhD-carrying scientist. She’s wrong.
But so are atheists who think science is an exclusive club just for them.

Replace “prawns” with “shrimp” if you want the expression to spread. Almost nobody says “prawn” here, except maybe in certain regions.

It *is* politicizing science to saddle it with identity politics hoops to jump through to appease the coastal elites. It’s also political to deny the reality of climate change to appease oil companies or COVID to appease a narcissist.

“See, if you look at the drug war from a purely economic point of view, the role of the government is to protect the drug cartel. That's literally true.”

Democrats should not make immigration their signature issue, if they want to win elections. They have a long history of ignoring the rule of law on immigration and now are trying to front as defenders of the rule of law on immigration. Republicans have likewise changed places.
