They don’t even care about soldiers at war. Remember when the Bush-Era Pentagon decided to skimp on body armor for tens of thousands of soldiers in combat?

Fetuses and soldiers are viewed in a similar way by the republicans / right wing: When a fetus is in the mothers tummy they are the most important thing in the world. Once that baby is born, the right wing doesn’t care if they die in a gutter. When a soldier is at war they are the most important thing in the world.…

Same bullshit in Michigan.

Sure they can have a say in it, they’re the Supreme Court.

At least until Kavanaugh gets confirmed and the SCOTUS hears a case to make all private sector workers subject to RTW, which they will no doubt rule against the private sector unions on just like they with the public ones with the Janus ruling.

Unfortunately the fact this is coming after the decision on the Janus case from the SCOTUS means that all public sector union workers are still going to be subject to RTW laws anyway.

If it didn’t make my soul sick, I would be amused by the prevalence of anti-science political thought from people who drive cars, talk on phones, rely on antibiotics, travel in planes, etc. They live a life that science built and then proclaim science to be invalid. Crazy.

The intentional radicalization of the Republican Party has taken what should be non-partisan conclusions (that scientists are trustworthy, that international cooperation is a good idea, that fixing a small problem now is cheaper than fixing a bigger problem later, that conservation of Earth’s resources is a better…

Honestly, I don’t think large-scale death would bother the people in charge all that much. As long as they personally remain secure and can acquire the choicest remaining plots of lands, all the while blaming someone else for the problem, I don’t think even the deaths of hundreds of millions would bug them that much.…

This is good earther. Maddie is the best.

“As a scientist, I find myself continually wondering: how much more synthesis and good evidence do we need to cause society to take this issue seriously?”

Take away their main source of income, and watch their power falter.

The problem isn’t a lack of sufficient data or analyses or really any mystery about what should be done. There are details we can quibble over, but basically, people who understand the warming issue get it.

Saudi Arabia is one of the reasons why companies need to work harder on technologies based on renewable energy. Russia is another. Take away their main source of income, and watch their power falter.

Saudi Arabia really is the America of the Middle East.

15 of 19, per the article, but I couldn’t remember the exact number either. That info was sure buried and ignored quickly, wasn’t it?

My retired dad is like a typical Fox-news obsessed white dude, except liberal and with CNN. I live in a rural area without cable news, and when I go visit my parents it drives me crazy because he never shuts that shit off. They had a good year of fun with the missing Malaysia Air flight 370, now it is all Trump, all…

God, damn. It’s been so terrifying to watch the slide into madness of so many people. I used to work with a guy who’s always been staunchly conservative, but prior to the election, loathed Trump, and at one point called him “the sum of everything that’s wrong with the GOP for the last twenty years.” This was an…

I wonder what will happen to the fragile minds of these idiots when they find out Qanon is just a group of trolls messing with gullible idiots. My guess is that they will say that the deep state got to Q and move on top the next conspiracy.

No one knows hos fucking proof works anymore. Look at shit like ghost believers, or even religious people, who will say “well you can’t prove that X ISN’T real.”
