Have you taken a liberal arts/humanities class in the last 10-20 years, do you know someone who teaches one, or are you just parroting the anti-intellectual bullshit of the alt-Right?
In science, even an incorrect prediction can be valuable if it's disproven and gets you closer to the truth. Discovery and learning are iterative processes.
Which is why you need some anti-capitalist, impractical, non-corporate voices. Otherwise, corporate entities would make everything addictive and nicely pre-packaged, and no one would even bother to oppose it.
Have you taken a humanities course recently. At least speaking to psychology or sociology, many professors who teach the two subjects are far, far from being "politically correct."
(1) Thank G-d for the fact that a lot of people can't wire in a light switch or change a tire. After all, it keeps the electricians and mechanics employed. (2) The problem isn't liberal arts, which is the idea that an education should be broad and deep. It's in fact the opposite -- the problem is SPECIALIZATION. People have become too specialized in a modern society.
If they hadn't take a loan they couldn't afford in the first place, they wouldn't have needed a loan mod. Wells Fargo acted horribly, but lesson is not to take loans you can't afford.
Smartphones have no sidetone, therefore you don't hear part of your voice back in the speaker -- this aspect of their misdesign encourages louder conversation.
Also: organized sports? Let the teams pay for their stadiums themselves or go piss off. Seattle can live without a baseball team. Better to spend the money on people who actually need it, not fat cat sports managers.
Actually, the NFL is the worst offender -- teams threatening to leave unless a city builds them a lavish athletic palace. San Diego did the right thing in telling the Chargers where to stuff it -- let them move to L.A..
Cops not harassing consenting adults for what they choose to buy or put into their own bodies? Cops not being greedy and ticketing someone double parking to unload their car after two minutes? Cops not ticketing people who already had the misfortune of their car breaking down? Avoiding high-speed chases that endanger the public, and not confronting people who aren't hurting others?
Sounds what the REST of the country should be doing. Then again, I'm not an authoritarian nannie-stater who thinks that a bunch of bullies in blue are the solution to every problem.
Or just move to the San Diego, Central Coast, or far Northern areas of California. Most of the benefits of CA (good weather, beaches) without having to live in a landlocked, hyper-religious nightmare.
Till the next crash -- interest rates are going up, going up, going up. 4.5-5% 30 year loans might not seem high, but starting from a low level of 3.5%, they will have an effect.
Build your own. Used "step-vans" and short buses are cheap. Not that expensive to install a bed, aux heat-A/C ysstem, chemical toilet, range top, and water tank/sink.
Removable battery, good quality, cheap, like $125. Who needs a flagship when they can have an inexpensive working phone that's not noosed to a given carrier?
If you live on a rural ranch, get a hybrid truck which you can charge from your solar array or windmills. Or two trucks -- keep one charging while the other is driven.
Electric for local driving, gas motor for longer trips.
Say it raises average fuel economy from 35 to 50 mpg. That's 857 fewer gallons of fuel guzzled over a first ownership of 100,000 miles. At $3 per gallon, that's almost $2600 saved. Not bad for $2000 extra cost.

Actually a second post -- not fast enough. The first post was not surprising.
In before the anti-intellectual comments about "snowflakes" and "gender theory majors" commence.

Not a problem -- just set a different ringtone for contacts vs blocked/non-contact phone numbers.

Yep. The cowards who need a nanny state to keep things clean will move to suburban Kansas City. Good on them...
For a roof "tent", you only need to cut a relatively small hole in the roof for "access."
How about living and letting live unless there's an actual hazard to health or safety?

How good are transit buses on the highway, considering they're usually designed to spend most of their time running between 0 and 30 mph?

Remember the scene where HAL-9000 was being turned off?
"My miiiiiind is gooooiiiiinnngg....I can feeeeeelll it. Daaaaaaaaiiiiisy. Daaaaaiiiiisy."
Without Scamazon ads? Moto's firmware is usually pretty clean, but some cheaper versions of devices came with Scamazon ads on their home screen.

"Pollution" in the form of NOx, unburnt hydrocarbons, and particulates is a completely different thing from efficiency and CO2 emission.
