I love being accused of personally overthrowing every south American country because I am from US.

While I agree, and I am a part of my teachers union, I also don't see any evidence that teachers will suddenly become respected and well paid. Like, Suddenly we all realized that we should feel grateful that we can read. Nope.

My NGO, WFH friend thinks she is working hard. The reality is, in our current system, the harder one works the less one is going to make. For her she has a stable position in the NGO.

Their goal is to help save fisheries and wild fish stock. In reality she doesn't even know what salmon looks like unless it's on a bagel.

You think these billionaires are just a billion times more hard working? They are just manipulative, insular, myopic, and selfish. Those are the key ingredients to success in our system. Surprise surprise, they are the opposite characteristics that a good teacher requires.

You said we will still use oil because it's profitable. I said that we can't stop using oil, because our earth is too hot, because we are too much burning oil. How am I off topic?

My point is, it's not economically viable for an elderly Texan to spend 500 bucks on inflated energy prices during a heatwave, but it's not like there is a choice. We're gonna burn it all up because we don't know how to stop.

Don't tell us facts. We've already decided to believe whatever the fuck we want regardless. /s

We're already forced to burn oil to power air conditioners so our elders don't die in heatwave. Just imagine the inside of a giant Vegas casino without electricity.

So... teachers should all just quit and become finance bros or programmers. Because fuck the youth amiright?

I am an elementary school teacher. I took a personal day and I was hanging with my friend. She works virtually for an NGO. She replied to a few emails, updated some data in a spreadsheet, she called a few people. That was all she did. I made some snide remarks about it and she was like 'oh I'm sure your job is so much harder.'

The sheer audacity. I do all that shit she does, in 20 minutes before class starts, while I am slamming coffee and doughnuts. Then I do exhausting work all day.

My retirement plan is to die in the climate/water wars or famine or disease. If not then I'll be working till I die. Both are suboptimal choices.

My boomer parents try to help me feel better by reminding me of a social security that will not exist, pension funds that will not exist, and social stability that will not exist. Yay. Thanks.

If I heard "traditional lifestyle" out of context and I had to assume the rest, I'd be thinking about, yeah, living with your family unless married. Most of the people in the world live like this still.

He has to spend all his energy suppressing the urge to spank it to gay porn.

Grab a stack of decodables for my tier 3's, we need to differentiate the small group rotation stations.
