Changing the Way we Build Environmental Protection Awareness Could Save Our Planet

FunWritings

In the past children didn’t learn anything much about environmental protection in school

But since Climate Change is so costly, I wonder if it time to change the rule

Since farmers are strugglingbecause there isn’t enough water in some places these days

And it is said that the earth will be getting hotter, if more folks reject the idea of changing their ways

But if we had more people on earth who knew about the plan to reduce carbon emissions and stop Global Warming

There would be less people who decide that they won’t listen to what the scientists are claiming

They would say it is good to protect the environment and have more healthy people on the planet anyway

Let us quickly implement solutions, so our children can live to see a brighter day

From The ‘Can’t Fix Stupid’ Files

Carlson Gestapo…

In Saner Thought

Tucker Carlson’s file is getting thicker by the day…..this time his ‘big’ idea is a page taken from 1984 by Orwell…Big Brother Is Watching….

Fox News’ Tucker Carlson suggested on Tuesday night that cameras be put in classrooms to “oversee the people teaching your children.”

Carlson talked about critical race theory and parents who have been publicly vocal saying they don’t want it being taught to their kids.

“The overwhelming majority of Americans — and pollsters have found this pretty clearly — think this is insane,” Carlson said. “They think you should judge people by what they do, not on the basis of their skin color.”

He called it “civilization-ending poison” and suggested monitoring teachers with cameras to see if they are teaching critical race theory:

We can’t really be sure until we finally get cameras in the classroom, as we put them on the chests of police officers, until…

Day 49/67 of GED in Five Months, interest, and financial language learning

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

 How can you determine what the cost of a student loan, or a mortgage, might be, in 20 years, and what might interest rates have to do with that?   What might the difference be between simple interest, compound interest, the prime rate, and other types of interest rates?  And why should we all care?  All of these questions are part of learning the language of finance, which every Adult needs to understand, even if one does not wish to participate in all parts of the system.

You might get a start, or a refresher, on the mathematics for that in the lesson below…

Fake voters exist only in Boris Johnson’s fevered imagination | Nick Cohen | The Guardian

British Conservatives and the US Republicans have added a modern game to the demagogic playbook. They are creating an imaginary fear that elections are being rigged in order to rig elections. They will protect democracy by removing the right to vote.

Boris Johnson’s hobgoblin is a fake voter, almost certainly from an ethnic minority. These masters of disguise steal honest citizens’ ballots by pretending to be them at polling stations. When the honest citizens arrive, election officials tell them that they have already voted and call the police.

Fake voters are a fake. If they weren’t, you would have read hundreds of articles about people whose identities had been stolen. The government’s own research found that personation fraud at the polling station accounted for just eight of the allegations of electoral fraud made in 2018. When Lutfur Rahman, the corrupt mayor of Tower Hamlets, was found guilty in the biggest electoral fraud trial of recent times, the fraud consisted of funnelling bribes to Bengali organisations that were “totally ineligible” for public money, not for arranging for body doubles to flood polling stations.
