Ideas.Ted - Want to fight climate change? Educate a girl
"Educating girls is one of the most cost-effective, high-impact ways for every nation on earth to fight the rising temperatures and atmospheric changes that threaten us all. It’s a simple and basic reality. But why hasn’t more been said about this? Why hasn’t this been the topic of media coverage worldwide? I can only imagine it’s because the climate change discussion has been largely driven by Western nations — and in Western nations, girls’ education is a given. It’s not a topic most Westerners think about."The Atlantic - Americans Are Determined to Believe in Black Progress
"In 1963, the median Black family had about 5 percent as much wealth as the median white family. Respondents said close to 50 percent. For 2016, the respondents estimated Black wealth to be 90 percent that of whites. The correct answer for that year was about 10 percent."
"For instance, there’s what might be called the generational fallacy: Many who acknowledge the reality of racism see salvation in the ebbing presence of older white people and their replacement by a surging mass of enlightened younger people. But generational change is not so simple. Young people’s racial attitudes are more like their parents’ than they may realize. (It is also the case that this “solution,” even if effective, would be very slow.)"
"The mythology of racial progress is corrosive in countless ways. It provides a reason to blame the victim: If we’re converging on equality, then those left behind must not be trying. And it diffuses moral responsibility for actively and significantly reforming the American system: If we’re converging on equality anyway, then why do we need laws and other measures to promote it?"
good. what would even be the point of actual people voting if the electoral college can vote for whomever they want? ...tho seriously, we should just rid of the whole electoral college.
The Atlantic - The Lesson Americans Never Learn
liberals WANT government to be providing these things. it's the conservatives who don't because, at least the poorer ones, have been brainwashed to believe that choice is the most important thing. rich conservatives don't care about privatization of resources because they have the resources to spend and they're the profiteering of it.
...um, NO. that's not their job. we abuse them by asking they fight fires for us, but they have no obligation to do so. it's stupid w should depend on such labor. ...more stupid, of course, is that we have so many people in prison to begin with.
