They've been in the news quite a few times, the quoted portion mentioned being the most infamous event so far.

Source for the context that's missing here?

And governments like the UK generally don't do things that could be very easily defeated in a civil court.

I don't agree with that at all. The Tories have been running roughshod over precedent left and right and spinning up all sorts of legal battles

Lemmy's extreme-left news posts are often as bad at telling the truth as Reddit's extreme-right ones.

I don't get how you're relating this to this news story

What also remains unsaid it "Texas" is not a monolith. In this data, houses in Houston, Dallas, and Austin are lumped in with Lamesa, Beaumont, and Nacogdoches, and I'm going to bet the ratios are wildly different in those places

Yeah imma need to see the words in the speech surrounding that sentence before I can draw any conclusions. That could be taken wildly out of context for all we're presented with here.

How do you keep him on a good path? You can't. The only person you can control is yourself.

How do you be there for him? First, accept that he may never change and may continue to spiral down. If you've accepted that and think you're in a good enough place to tolerate being around him, then do just that, be around him sometimes. It's paramount you have good boundaries though. He may try to use you for money, shelter, or any number of things you will have to say no to, and you need to feel alright with saying no.

You're in the wrong sub my cynical friend

To be fair, that article's only about one of their education initiatives, and they've had many

When you said "strike against neoliberalism," what you meant to say was "strike against the neoliberal educational reform passed in 2013."

The Gates Foundation has been working in education for over two decades, and still is

Are you sure this isn't just because it's in St. Louis?

The block on which the long-vacant St. Louis property sits was declared a decaying area by the St. Louis Planning Commission in 2023, the commercial real estate information news outlet mentioned.

Yeah this one's been completely vacant since 2017. This building's got lots of problems and has nothing to do with RTO policies
