Do we need religion again?

  • I don’t understand how both parties can be so terrible

    You might enjoy the book https://theinvisibledoctrine.com/ which thoroughly explains the rise of neoliberal ideology which is responsible for the state of our institutions.

    Banning cellphones in schools gains popularity in red and blue states

  • 2 & 3 are not a solution, it's just ignoring the problem. You think teachers will ever do any teaching if they spend their whole day playing phone police? Unfortunately we have to counteract decades of festering phone addiction and kids are going to have to go cold turkey at some point. The storage solutions are silly but honestly that's the only way you'll actually get kids to put their phone away, put it in a locked Faraday bag. And the emergency reasoning is bogus. The teacher has a phone, an intercom, and a panic button. Having 30 kids call 911 while simultaneously making a ~tik tok~ rednote about it is not emergency response.

    In what scenario is conscription acceptable? (if any)

  • If the country is invading you, doesn’t that make them de-facto worse?

    Conscription is a necessary tool for a defense effort. There are countries (Sweden, Norway) where conscription serves more as a mandatory civil service period. Those programs give citizens a much greater understanding of their government and society.

    CNN's debate was no fair fight

  • The real answer is he will continue the gutting of the administrative state. The direction we are going is corporatism. Absolution of federal agencies tasked with legally protecting people (education, health, environmental protection, labor protection, safety, finance regulation) and expanding the agencies that legally bind people (police, prisons).

    It's not likely that Trump would be going "full Hitler". But the governors of Texas and Florida might.

    Study finds 268% higher failure rates for Agile software projects

  • Absolutely It's so management can say "your velocity was down 15% this sprint" and not feel bad about it instead of saying "work more" It's plausible deniability for demanding unpaid overtime
