Fertility has declined nationally and in Utah almost every year since the Great Recession in 2008, according to a report from the Gardner Policy Institute.

I'm not glorifying such conditions, I'm suggesting not many kids these days are willing to make the sacrifices necessary to raise children. Most "starter homes" now are what two generations ago would have been considered mansions.

@jimhubbell True on the "starter homes" which are gigantic mansions.

On Aug. 7, two days before Biden’s arrival in Utah, Craig Deleeuw Robertson posted, “I hear Biden is coming to Utah. Digging out my old ghillie suit and cleaning the dust off the M24 sniper rifle. Welcome, buffoon-in-chief!”

Why do so many Utahans continue voting for the political party that promotes political violence?

@patmadigan @sltrib
The reason that so many Utahans like in so many other red states still vote for Republcians has more to do with the lies and resources the fossil fuel industry has put into demonizing Democrats than any other single reason imo.

Experts who track political violence are alarmed by the rise of violent threats and attacks and expect them to continue to increase ahead of the 2024 elections.

@sltrib Democrats want gun control, Republicans (including most Mormons) want every crazy maniac to have easy access to assault style killing devices.

The bill’s sponsor said it stands to strengthen current licensing programs that are “weak,” and simplify programs that are “over-bloated," but critics worry it will lead to under-qualified teachers in classrooms.

@sltrib Republican religious freaks don't understand separation of church & state, want to indoctrinate students in THEIR "religion" even tho they themselves don't pay attention to the 10 commandments except to force them on others. 🙄🤡

@timesandseasons @sltrib electrifying a line is quite an expensive process and not always possible if tunnels weren’t designed with it in mind. There are still a lot of diesel trains out there that need decarbonisation, so this sort of thing should help
France is trialing the concept too

A controversial doctor with ties to anti-LGBTQ groups was selected by Utah House Speaker Brad Wilson to serve on the commission that decides whether transgender girls can compete in high school sports.

@katrinakatrinka
The law gives the speaker of the House sole discretion to fill the opening, so it's pretty much up to him. The commission is the backup part of the law only used because the main provisions were blocked by a judge, so the case could change all of this in the future. Here's the most recent on that case: https://www.sltrib.com/news/education/2023/09/12/private-medical-records/

katrinakatrinka,

@sltrib
Ugh. I remember reading that article and that terrible, invasive ruling by the judge.

I'll have to hope somehow there's more people than just me in that are pushing their Representatives and Senators to change the law. I know mine support changing the law, but they're Dems in the super minority.

As we’ve reported on sexual misconduct by OB-GYNs, we’ve learned that many women felt they didn’t know what was normal during a visit, or didn’t know what they could do to speak up. We created this guide to help fill this gap.

There’s no county in Utah where people working a minimum wage job can work a standard 40-hour week and make enough to afford even a modest studio.

@sltrib That's crazy

@sltrib @ttpphd It’s not “minimum wage.” It’s poverty wage.

Forty Three Bakery is "not in a great spot" financially, said the owner, and being able to sell alcohol would help. But his business can't get a license because it's too close to a pyramid.

@sltrib the only churches I've enjoyed visiting are in England, since they very sensibly allow drinking in churches and some sell cider and wine in their cafes and crypts.

This is a stupid, stupid law.

@darwinwoodka @sltrib LOL they actually allow drinking in SLC now? (I grew up in the "near beer" and "private club" era there).
