Looks like NOAA might get out of the climate science business.

When was the last time “fiscal conservatism” actually meant what it’s proponents claim it means, though? My whole life I’ve seen “fiscal conservatives” cut spending on essential services while upping the spending on just about everything else while funneling as much as they can into their own pockets. This has been…
I LOVE this cartoon.
Research has been done for over 100 years now on workplace efficiency, and it shows over and over and over again that anything past 40 hours or so a week is worthless and usually harmful. If it’s a short-term increase, say you normally work 40 hours but need to stay longer for a few weeks for some special project or…
The debt is a product of the Republicans repeatedly slashing tax cuts on rich people and corporations so that they can blow up the debt and then scream about how we need to cut social programs, which only represent a tiny fraction of the budget, in order to get the debt under control. They also use the debt as an…
The debt is a product of the Democrats. The biggest cost to the us economy is social services. More than half of the debt came from Obama tossing money around to “stimulate” the economy while fixing none of the underlying problems.
That is some Western Culture I can get behind.
Japan’s dystopian work culture is one of the things keeping me from ever considering living there. It boggles the mind that they continue to counterproductively work long hours beyond the point of diminishing returns.
I work in Korea, where the work culture is very similar. It is entirely dependent on which industry you’re in. Corporations are full of this bs, but the government, educational, and other sectors don’t generally buy in to this. I’ll work really late during midterms and finals, and my bosses keep telling me to go…
Roughly 2/3 of the Obama stimulus was set aside for tax cuts. This was necessary to get the republicans onboard for the programs that went forward. You do remember that the economy was in a ditch around January of 2009, right? Some of it went to food security for those out of a job and lost their homes due to Wall…
Ah yes, because Republicans care so much about debts and deficits that just last year they voted for tax cuts that their own CBO projected will raise deficits higher than ever...
Simply breathing creates green house gasses. Although climate change is a threat against humanity, actually solving it is too.
Yes, anthropogenic induced global warming is a result of humanity.
Yep. Those diminishing productivity returns on pointlessly long shifts ain't no joke.
And, of course, minimal accountability (if any at all) as to how the collected tax is actually utilized.
The US is $20 trillion in debt. Much of that debt is due to republicans not giving a fuck about the federal deficit. Most states are in debt to the tune of another $20 trillion combined. Taxes need to be collected to pay for a border wall and all those ICE agents and service all that debt. And roads. And bridges. With…
Japan’s dystopian work culture is one of the things keeping me from ever considering living there. It boggles the mind that they continue to counterproductively work long hours beyond the point of diminishing returns. It’s well known that beyond 12 hour shifts productivity drops off sharply and repeating this pattern…
I really think environmental nonprofits should incorporate during the Trump wilderness years. Taxes are low. Donorship will be based on those truly interested in protecting the environmental versus a tax break and green image support. It would also help to have the thousands of enviro nonprofits start merging. There’s…
Probably shouldn’t extrapolate too much from one story but: My work habits would probably get me executed in Japan.
