The receiving organization is known as Arkansans for Students and Educators and was formed on April 1, 2024. A statement of organization filed with the Arkansas Ethics Commission says that the group was formed “For the disqualification and/or defeat of The Arkansas Educational Rights Amendment of 2024.”...
The amendment seeks to “require identical academic standards and identical standards for accreditation, including assessments of students and schools based on such standards, for any school that receives State or local funds,” among other things, including:
The guarantee of voluntary universal access to pre-K for 3 and 4-year-olds, afterschool & summer programming, quality special education, and wrap-around services for children within 200% of the Federal Poverty Line.
Establish the minimum quality standards ordered by the Arkansas Supreme Court in 2002 in its Lakeview decision.
Imagine peeling off a cool $500k to fuck over childhood education.
If we wanted to remove enough CO2 to get back to the preindustrial level of 280 ppm, it would take 2.39 x 10^20 joules of energy. For a reality check, that’s almost as much as the world’s total annual energy consumption (5.8 x 10^21 joules every year).
Isn’t that over an order of magnitude difference? What am I missing? How is that “almost as much”?

In my experience, as long as the leadership is somewhat transparent, it’ll be completely obvious. And usually begins with attempts to reduce burn rate like auditing of assets/expenditures and of course layoffs.
I’m assuming you’re asking as an employee and not functionally how to shut down your business.
It’s kind of funny. When I’m working on my own stuff, I could easily dump like 60+ hours a week into it. But once there’s an obligation to work on something, especially if it’s scheduled, 40 is unbearable.
