I'm curious if anyone feels they get the same degree of workplace protection the concept of tenure for professors?

  • Some contractors get protection if it's built into their contracts
  • Unions create termination restrictions
  • Military gets sanctuary for their last two years before twenty years service, then usually kicked out, unless they're generals
  • you can't legally fire someone because color, religion, orientation, etc

What makes professors different or not different?

You can fire retail workers for anything not illegal

Based on your stance, if professors should be special, why?

If not, do you believe we won't get good ones all the sudden if they can't have tenure?

I'll try to find specific arguments made by opposing legislation, but but not necessarily asking for people just to verbally slay conservative/liberals. There's already a million posts for that.

Now, before you go ape shit on Republicans are all....

Instead, I'm curious about the matter of running vs voting.

Do you believe you should only be able to run for a party you voted for?

Does this protect the party? Or limit candidates (assuming it's a candidate you don't disagree with)?

Are there down sides to this?

What is if a moderate ran for Republican, but he voted Democrat a few times, or vise versa?

Would it be good if a middle of the road person ran instead of a more partisan candidate?

Lastly, I'm not advocating for this guy. Only discussion about the situation.

Far out dude...

I am super interested to see how this goes. I've heard studies from western states have shown encouraging results in some people.

It only took 50 years to circle back to considering these things might have benefits beyond getting high or hearing colors.

This article covers upcoming deployment.

I haven't come across overall Indiana sentiment on this yet

There are many things I'm unhappy about in this matter:

  • Deployment of Indiana guard for something the federal government should be doing.
  • Putting Indiana citizen soldiers in a very difficult position: having to deal with immigration policies in actual practice, political shenanigans, dealing with humanitarian issues when the primary mission isn't saving lives. We are good at war and helping save lives, anything else is asking for trouble.
  • Combining immigration policy with border protection. I don't like that they aren't separate. I feel like it's all political games, but someone convince me that we can't control borders without barring all immigration.
  • Crazy talk about federalizing a state's national guard.
  • Crazy talk about States and federal government clashing to the point of escalation. I don't think cool heads and reason win the day anymore. I feel like the populous seems willing to support more extreme measures these days
  • Separation of service members from their families

On one positive side, this will give 50 service members and their families a first hand view of a major topic instead of hearing it from the news.

I know this is old and hinges on your favor of trump, but I have more respect for Sen. Young after this and his breaking away from Republican shenanigans regarding this border security.

Do you want all jewish boomers to be zionists? Then great, keep downvoting.

Do you want us to come to your events? Then please help me! I cannot instagram and I want to know when the pro-Palestine protests are going to be. I briefly checked SURJ, JVP, SJP, Indy Liberation Center. I don’t see anything. But that doesn’t mean it’s not there. Help an old man out!

Anyone else feel like this guy is a total piece of shit, or am I being unfair?

Now that we have been transported to the elemental plane of darkness and while we wait for the number of human sacrifices necessary to call the sun back from its icy prison, I figured maybe there would be some good deals on suncreen.

Do you know any? I won't blame you if you want to keep your secrets to yourself.

Interesting. I haven't heard of humanitarian parole.

I'm not sure how to feel about this one, but I also wouldn't want to suffer.

Not sure why the restriction from lemmy.

Road Quality (self.indiana)

Has anyone heard significant criticism of Indiana's road?

I have. I'm wondering if there's merit to it, or we everyone thinks the roads where they live are bad.

I've driven out west and northwest where the composition of roads is different, loader like concrete, but they might not have temperature swings, use salt, or plow.

Marion County usually has bad roads compared to the suburbs, but that's a whole thing of its own

Thoughts?
