Whaaaaat??

A politician making a bunch of claims right before an election and then never following through on them?

Say it ain't so! Not in my America!

Yeah it's lying season. Both sides are telling us what they think we want to hear.

A bigger issue is how people maintain their yards. Lawns are the ecological equivalent of a parking lot. Lawns are terrible for the local species, as are all of the non-native species used in modern landscaping. Once you learn what is actually native and what is not, you'll be completely shocked at how few native species we cultivate.

Another really huge issue is everyone religiously scrubbing their yard of fallen leaves. Leaves need to stay on the ground. They are essentially compost for trees, and tons and tons of bugs lay eggs in fallen leaves, including fireflies.

I quit mowing my lawn and let some native plants grow up in place of grass and stopped eradicating the fallen leaves, and that summer my yard was absolutely lit the fuck up with fireflies.

All of this is currently reversible. We just have to stop buying into stupid capitalist yard maintenance traditions and start working with the native species. It's honestly much less work than trying to make all of these Chinese species that are in everyone's yards work.

Why should we be worried about the feelings of representatives of countries that are actively engaged in atrocities?

Unfortunately Twitter is the absolute best source for the most up to date breaking sports news and nothing that I'm aware of comes close.

I honestly don't know enough about the whole gamut of politicians. I guess the two politicians I align with the most with are AOC and Bernie.

I'm looking for a candidate who's main concerns are dealing with the looming climate change crisis, shifting power from billionaires back to workers, and a strong anti-genocide stance.

Better compensation and working conditions typical result in improved productivity and higher quality goods.

We want actual change.

Not this half-assed thing of "oh shit Biden isn't polling well. Quick, do something popular!".

Seeing this honestly frustrates me more because we all know they could do better than this.

Off duty cops get a waaaay higher wage than regular security guards. Most security guards are paid around $14-$20 an hour from what I've seen in my state.

A lot of companies are too cheap to pay for the off duty cops.

Lol yeah right.

That's just not true. Sand is a power hog. Sucks up horsepower like nobody's business. You gotta have some juice to move with wheels effectively.

Going from Italy to Russia or the Himalayans is like going from Florida to Alaska, except that the Mediterranean is even more beautiful.

And we know why they are censoring. They don't like that certain politics are being spread.
