Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer plans to urge state lawmakers to pass legislation that would provide free community college tuition for all high school graduates during her sixth State of the State speech on Wednesday....
It won’t be cold for much longer with the way climate change is heading. I moved to Detroit a few years ago, and all my neighbors have commented on how little snow we’re getting and how warm winters have been.
Eh, the heat waves and cold snaps are happening nationwide. I more mean that on average, it’s been pretty warm. Most of November and December was between 40F and 50F.
But for sure, the lake (and concrete from the city) helps keep temperatures moderate. We’re also lucky being on the west side of the lake, so we don’t have to deal with lake effect snow.
Chinese automakers are heavily subsidized by the government, so the US prevents their import to prevent them from undercutting domestic automakers. I’m sure there’s a balance to this that doesn’t involve a total import ban, but the US hasn’t figured it out yet.
From my experience, DEI is not about making racist people not racist, or sexist people not sexist. It’s about making people from varying backgrounds feel welcome, and making sure people don’t feel isolated if they’re different.
I think you’re confusing diversity hiring practices with DEI programs. DEI can be a great tool to help employees/students from feeling isolated. I also suggest you stop watching so much cable news; I don’t think DEI is as big a deal as the media makes it out to be.
Power failures like the one that left 150,000 Michigan homes without electricity during this past weekend’s cold have increased in Michigan over recent decades, according to a new report by the nonprofit news organization Climate Central....
This is particularly bad because Michigan has largely been spared from the recent severe weather hitting the Midwest. DTE does a shit job at maintaining infrastructure anywhere except the suburbs.
To be fair, religion has never been about a book - it’s a cultural practice. The idea that Christianity is just what’s written in the Bible is a very modern secular view.
So it doesn’t surprise me that radical religious groups have “weird” interpretations of holy texts, because that’s the way it’s always been. In the past, though, the Pope would dictate religious doctrine; maybe western Conservative media has taken that role for the new far right.
