It’s fashionable nowadays to suggest that our schools add stuff to their curricula. Normally, these items are intended to makes our young people more independent of a system that is rapidly deteriorating, and include things like growing one’s own food.
There’s no reason to object to this, except that, since our schools operate for a finite number of hours per year, for everything they add, they must remove something.
Given that a price must be paid for swapping subjects into and out of the curriculum, I think the guy here has the best possible deal: music, a discipline that is shown to make a smarter, less stressed, and more socially aware person.
Maybe if our kids were better, brighter people they’d be less likely to create a system that is deteriorating in the first place.
Exxon: We’re investing in innovative technologies to reduce carbon emissions while supporting the needs of heavy industry.
As a marketing consultant, here’s my advice to Exxon:
Keep your money in your pockets. There is no conceivable investment in public relations that will convince us, as stupid as we may be as a nation, that you care a damn about the health of our planet’s environment, or about the wellbeing of life on Earth.
Until this announcement, I think anyone would have said that Gallup, Inc., founded in 1935, had a solid reputation for honesty and integrity.
Yesterday, all that vanished in the blink of an eye.
Imagine you’re one of about 2000 employees located in one of about 35 offices around the world, including New York City, London, Berlin, Sydney, Singapore, and Abu Dhabi. How sickened would you be?
From “The Other 98”
Trump now wants Americans to believe that greenhouse gases don’t endanger human life, a claim that flies in the face of virtually every scientist on Earth. His administration just erased the EPA’s longstanding “endangerment finding,” the scientific and legal cornerstone that said carbon pollution warms the planet and harms human health. Without it, the EPA can no longer regulate greenhouse gases from factories, cars, or power plants, effectively stripping the federal government of its ability to combat climate change.
Trump is nothing if not predictable and consistent in his policies that fly into the teeth of science and cause grievous harm to our health.
Since science recognize vacci nations as safe and effective, why not appoint an anti-vaxxer to head up the Department of Health and Human Services?
Coal is by far the most toxic source of energy, so guess what Trump supports.
ExxonMobil Lowering Carbon Emissions? Sure.
