To be fair, a lot of associates degrees are vocational studies which actually teach something specific, it just doesn’t happen to be math.

Actual apprenticeship programs tend to have strict drug testing policies because it’s a cheap way of filtering out many of the worst employees.

Indeed, the historical norm for settled, agricultural societies is that the elderly have everything and the young work for them. We do not see youth complaints much from before 1900, but there is evidence in the sources indicating that the Greeks and Romans were very concerned about managing it.

It’s true that lifespans have risen due to medical technology, but it seems that maximal lifespans have not, you just don’t need as much good luck to reach them.

Ok, thé Clinton admin had a lot of basic competence at politics- but it was also 30 years ago. This guy could easily be experiencing age related decline, which coupled with the democrat party’s political correctness demands makes a ‘good’ report harder to come by.

The right is genuinely much more willing to evaluate people as individuals or members of small groups while the left is much more willing to generalize. Treating people as individuals doesn’t necessarily correspond to granting unlimited freedom.

Yes, what the GOP has is a single woman deficit, married women vote about like their husbands. But you kinda knew that’s what 2rafa meant, didn’t you? The based ewhore got her followers by seeming sexually available, up until she had a kid with Elon musk.

It seems a lot more likely that this guy departs from the democrats party line in predictable actual Marxist ways than by becoming a secret Republican.

Aren't they? Scandinavia and France, at least, seem to have robust hate speech apparati.

Fixed it for you. Garden variety apolitical cranks and ODCs know how to hire lawyers.

Being too close to a cop will get you filtered out of a jury. Juries are mostly teachers and retirees.

It's actually extremely lindy to have public officials abusing their positions face harsh personal consequences(often things we're not going to do today, like execution by torture or family enslavement).
Now, in our system, this rule would inevitably be abused by individuals who either have too much time on their hands or are dedicated to some variety of minor crime crankery to harass officials that are Just Doing Their Jobs, and we probably don't want to start punishing people making complaints about public servants. The solution would have to look more like internal affairs than like lawsuits. And Internal Affairs would inevitably also be biased.

The median voter does not know about this. You would have to ELI 5 it to them, but it's pointless- the median voter already thinks the DNC is out of touch, them apparently not thinking Biden's senility is relevant doesn't actually change that. People who know what this is aren't going to have their opinions changed.

Chauvin is mostly seen as a bad cop who killed a person by normie republicans. This isn’t a scissor statement; approval of Derek chauvin is at columbine fanclub level lows.

…You think Chauvin is popular among the GOP base?

Total childcare costs isn't limited to literal daycare expenses. Kids are expensive, even if people exaggerate how much, and you can still use a minivan like the normal car you probably need anyway.

All else aside, by the time a society is at war we've kinda already chosen violence, deciding women aren't gonna get a say in it anymore won't magically fix that. Last I checked the (male)leaders of Russia and Ukraine, or Israel and... multiple other places, haven't hammered out a peace agreement.

OK- Texas, while politically conservative, is on the moderate or centrist end on race issues. Chauvin would have been charged here, would have been convicted, and the governor would not have overturned the conviction. Abbott wants to keep the black political machine as demobilized as possible and crucifying a single cop is more than worth it to him(this is probably why the Texas GOP changed the primary voting rules to suppress turnout in Jasmine Crockett's strongest county even though it meant Talarico would win).
There's this 'Russia effect' where because we're big and take vocal conservative stances on a few issues people tend to point to us as based ethnonationalist cryptofascist radical ideologues. We aren't. The Texas government is not going to protect a cop with that many previous use of force complaints in the face of the niggers rioting, even if the elites put it that way in private.

Driving a minivan when you have kids is not stigmatized in the US, although it's lower status for dad than a pickup truck 'it's my wife's car' is a totally acceptable excuse.

If you can afford one. Yes minivans are cheaper than total childcare costs but that's not how families make budgeting decisions.

But we have appliances, which drastically reduce the need for servants. We don't wash clothes by hand or, for the most part, even have to iron them. You can put food in the oven and come back to check on it until it is done(and before modern, thermostatically controlled ovens, you could not). Medieval housewives didn't just have to bake their own bread, they had to grind the grain for it, on top of making all of the household's clothes from raw fiber.

Join the army and try making a bodily autonomy argument at any point, see how it goes.
I'm not suggesting you actually run this experiment, and I don't support some sort of forced pregnancy regime(although there are, on the contrary, lots of lower hanging fruit coercive options available to western societies. Forced marriage for cohabiting couples makes a lot more sense, statistically most women have babies once they get that ring).

And that is exactly what happened in WWII. Famously even queen Elizabeth II(RIP) spent time in conscripted service as an auxiliary. Soviet women hitched themselves to plows because the army was using 100% of the fuel and machinery.
Parents of young children very much welcome family friendly third spaces.
