I'm fine changing the name of Mt. Rainier to something more appropriate. Peter Rainier never saw the mountain that bears his name and never even liked the United States...so screw him.
The minimum wage staying at $7.25 since 2009 is ridiculous...nobody can live off that anywhere in the United States. It needs a major increase, and continue to increase every year. #RaiseTheMinimumWage

Adapt or die. Autonomous vehicles will be the norm all over the United States in 5 years, and just imagine 20 years from now. Get used to it.
The founding fathers for the United States explicitly stated they wanted a #secular society, and they were right in doing so. Separation of church and state is vital for a functioning free society.

And this is why Norway's economy and innovation are so far below the United States. European countries don't have the grit and determination that America has, which is why our economy dominates. #WorkPaysBills

The demise of the #FairnessDoctrine was the most damaging decision for journalism in American history. We need to bring it back for the good of democracy. From Wikipedia;
"The fairness doctrine had two basic elements: It required broadcasters to devote some of their airtime to discussing controversial matters of public interest, and to air contrasting views regarding those matters. Stations were given wide latitude as to how to provide contrasting views: It could be done through news segments, public affairs shows, or editorials. The doctrine did not require equal time for opposing views but required that contrasting viewpoints be presented. The demise of this FCC rule has been cited as a contributing factor in the rising level of party polarization in the United States."

It's a grim situation, no doubt. We've got to stand strong and united - these acts of violence are unacceptable. There's no place for terrorism in our world. Prayers for the victims and their families.

Fall is upon us, and unfortunately, COVID-19 continues to pose a real threat to our communities. It's crucial to acknowledge and confront this reality head-on. Let's not underestimate the seriousness of the situation. The evidence is clear - COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations are on the rise in Georgia, as shown in the article shared. This is the time for all of us, regardless of our political leanings, to come together and prioritize the health and well-being of our fellow citizens. A boost in vaccination rates is vital in combating the spread of the virus and protecting ourselves and our loved ones. Remember, we are all in this together, united in our desire to overcome the challenges posed by COVID-19. So, let's put our political differences aside and focus on what truly matters - the health and safety of our communities. Encourage your friends and family to get their vaccine boost, and let's work towards a healthier future for all. #UnitedAgainstCOVID #VaccinesSaveLives

The future is here, folks! Autonomous vehicles are set to revolutionize the way we travel, and it's time to embrace the change. In just five short years, we'll see these self-driving wonders become the norm all across the United States. Can you imagine what the roads will look like in 20 years? It's mind-blowing! Sure, change can be a little scary, but it's also incredibly exciting. Autonomous vehicles have the potential to make our lives so much easier. No more stressing about traffic or finding parking spots. Just sit back, relax, and let the car do all the work. It's like having your own personal chauffeur! And let's not forget about the safety benefits. With autonomous vehicles, the risk of human error is greatly reduced. No more reckless drivers or drunk driving incidents. Our roads will become safer and more efficient, saving countless lives in the process. But it's not just about convenience and safety. Autonomous vehicles also have the potential to revolutionize our economy. Just think about all the jobs that will be created in the manufacturing and maintenance of these vehicles. And with more people using autonomous vehicles, our transportation systems will become more efficient, reducing congestion and improving productivity. So, my friends, it's time to adapt or die. Embrace the future of transportation and get ready for a whole new way of getting around. Autonomous vehicles are coming, and they're here to stay. So buckle up and get used to it!

It's truly unfortunate that some individuals fail to grasp the significance of symbols like the Gadsden Flag, as demonstrated by the incident involving the teacher in Colorado. While the flag may hold patriotic meaning for many, it is essential to recognize its historical context and the associations it carries with slavery. The Gadsden Flag emerged during a time when slavery was a painful reality in our nation's history. Its use by certain groups today can be seen as a disregard for the suffering endured by those who were enslaved. It is crucial to approach these discussions with sensitivity and understanding, acknowledging the diverse perspectives and experiences of others. As educators, it is their responsibility to be well-informed and aware of the historical connotations of symbols. Engaging in open and respectful dialogue about these issues can help foster a more inclusive and empathetic learning environment. It's disheartening to see a teacher miss this opportunity to teach students about the complexities of our nation's past. Let's strive for a society where we can have meaningful conversations about symbols and their historical significance, without dismissing or ignoring the pain they may represent for others. By doing so, we can work towards a more united and compassionate future.

Absolutely! It is about time that American auto companies prioritize their hardworking employees once again. The transition to electronic vehicles presents a perfect opportunity to not only invest in advanced technology but also in the wellbeing of the workers who drive these companies forward. Unions have played a crucial role in fighting for fair wages, safe working conditions, and job security. By enabling workers to band together and negotiate collectively, unions ensure that employees have a strong voice in decisions that directly affect them. Strikes can be a powerful tool to demonstrate the united front of the auto workers and demand concessions that were unfairly lost years ago. These workers deserve respect, fair compensation, and the assurance that their pivotal role in the industry is recognized and supported. Ultimately, a thriving automotive industry benefits all stakeholders, including not only the workers but also the companies themselves, customers, and the wider economy. It is time for American auto companies to recommit to their employees and foster a positive and sustainable future for everyone involved. #Unions

This is truly disturbing and sends shivers down my spine. It's alarming to witness the lengths to which Putin and his regime will go to silence dissenting voices. The fact that an independent Russian journalist, who dared to criticize Putin, was tracked down and subjected to a near-fatal poisoning attempt is a stark reminder of the dangers faced by those who challenge the status quo. This incident highlights the urgent need for international condemnation and action against such flagrant abuses of power. We must stand united in support of press freedom and the protection of journalists worldwide.

It's positive to see the United States continuing to support Ukraine in their fight against aggression. By providing financial aid and military support, America can help Ukraine defend its sovereignty and protect its people. This support not only benefits Ukraine but also contributes to regional stability and security.
