What she is saying is amusing. Throwing more activists at the problem won't make things better just like throwing more money at public schools didn't magically make things better.

Defund the department of education

Private school s. Give the parents vouchers to use

Capitalist competition between schools will improve things fast

Also, if the schools aren't operating in a quasi-socialist way , the system won't be teaching itself to students so readily

Greta forgot the reason she startd this, it seemed more interesting to do vs actually going to school. Congrats on her weaseling her way out of doing something she didn't feel like doing. There were times when all of us tried to distract adults into letting us get out of something.

Using an autistic teenager as your moral arbiter for climate change is disgusting. Worse still, no one will care for her doomsday cries once she’s in her 20’s

Sadly, they're encouraging her paranoid fantasy that there are shadowy groups bent on destroying her efforts.

Anyone who seriously wanted to slow down the use of fossil fuels would chip away at the problem one piece at a time. Every vehicle has tires. It takes about 7 gallons of oil to make each tire. Find an alternative material and market it. Oil isn't just about gasoline.

NOT ONLY WAS HE A SAUDI NATIONAL HE WAS ALSO A SAUDI AIR FORCE PILOT HERE FOR TRAINING

AOC Called Out for Claiming Her Family Could Have ‘Starved’ Under New Food Stamp Rule https://www.theepochtimes.com/aoc-food-stamp-comment_3167501.html

What's the new rule?

Dept of Agriculture announced you need to work at least 20 hours a week to maintain SNAP benefits if you're an adult 18 to 49 without dependents

Whole point is to encourage SNAP dependents to move towards independence

Does it apply to those on disability?

Nope. Rule doesn't apply to people with a disability, or pregnant women.

Seems pretty fucking sound.

Good, I'm glad that exception is made—and not just because I'm on disability.

(in the interests of full disclosure)

Fair enough. It's really meant to tackle a culture of dependence

*For those who can afford to find a job. Not for those who legitimately need the program.

Agreed.

We need to reexamine what disabled entails. Too many "disabled" people who are perfectly healthy.

Yeah, true.

My eyes being fucked seven ways from Sunday is a pretty hard handicap, in addition to various mental issues.

Issues which I've got well managed, thank you very much.

just demonstrating that you're putting in job applications can be enough

(im not sure about the number, for unemployment benefits as an example, here it's 3 apps a day)

there are so many other public resources here in my state a person can lose all food stamps and do fine.

by public i mean, private institutions providing food to the public

Yeah.

Ironically, I really want to get certified as an archery instructor and do that for a living, in addition to my writing.

Ironic because archery requires at least decent vision to see the target, and I'm not terrible at it.

Greta is sad people aren't flocking to her cause. In other news, a banana duct taped to a wall sold for $120,000 good luck Greta 😂 https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/art-basel-banana-duct-taped-to-wall-sells-for-120000-miami-beach-2019-12-06/?__twitter_impression=true

^ This is by far the easiest way to evade taxes when laundering money - which is why 'modern art' sells at such astronomical prices for bullshit
