IMO the difference between Manchin and MOST GOP Congress members is that since he’s wearing a blue tie, he’s allowed to do things that are commonly believed, but against the GOP groupthink. Outside of the “freedom” caucus and the political stunts and cultural war red herrings, I’d reckon Manchin agrees with more Republicans than Democrats.

Other than abuse and right wing extremism, I’m also worried about the social impacts of this. Schools are where we meet people different from our parents, start to learn how to navigate communities and build relationships with our peers.

While I know of parents and children who’ve had great home schooling experiences, it’s A LOT of work on the parents not only from q teaching/academic role, but from making sure kids are socialized enough to support their emotional growth.

Taking your kids to church on Sundays and the library on Wednesdays is not enough for them to build strong relationships and learn and grow into well adjusted adults.

Didn’t it come out that the paper was sent to preprint without consent of all the authors? If we want to steelman their case, it could be that they’re still finishing up documenting and studying some dependent variables for the recreation process.

Ah interesting, I’ll have to try some of these out. Other than the default debugger, I’ve only used ipdb and the barcode debugger, both of which leave some to be desired.

What alternative would you suggest? If they cannot hold them to a higher standard in fear of them lying about it, then how would you approach this sort of restructuring of the police with high quality cops?

If we just say it’ll be a slow process, and we have to change how we hire, how will that actually be put into practice? Would the current police not fight to maintain their privilege? Instead of lying and covering up Mal practice, they would do the same in their hiring practices.

The only option to it in my view IS to hold them to a higher standard, and the attempts by the public to hold them to a higher standard IS the citizenry demanding a better PD.

No, but that’s mainly because the DNC fell around Biden and hasn’t moved away from him since before he was elected. If he’d decided not to run, you’ve have seen several Democrats get bigger coverage as well as be more active, with help do the DNC to make sure you knew about a few of them.
