This is a summary of college only using two pictures; expensive as hell.

That’s my Sociology “book”. In fact what it is is a piece of paper with codes written on it to allow me to access an electronic version of a book. I was told by my professor that I could not buy any other paperback version, or use another code, so I was left with no option other than buying a piece of paper for over $200. Best part about all this is my professor wrote the books; there’s something hilariously sadistic about that. So I pretty much doled out $200 for a current edition of an online textbook that is no different than an older, paperback edition of the same book for $5; yeah, I checked. My mistake for listening to my professor.

This is why we download.

"A student blows up at a teacher, drops the F-bomb. The usual approach at Lincoln – and, safe to say,..."

“

A student blows up at a teacher, drops the F-bomb. The usual approach at Lincoln – and, safe to say, at most high schools in this country – is automatic suspension. Instead, Sporleder sits the kid down and says quietly: “Wow. Are you OK? This doesn’t sound like you. What’s going on?”

He gets even more specific: “You really looked stressed. On a scale of 1-10, where are you with your anger?” The kid was ready. Ready, man! For an anger blast to his face….”How could you do that?” “What’s wrong with you?”…and for the big boot out of school. But he was NOT ready for kindness.

The armor-plated defenses melt like ice under a blowtorch and the words pour out: “My dad’s an alcoholic. He’s promised me things my whole life and never keeps those promises.” The waterfall of words that go deep into his home life, which is no piece of breeze, end with this sentence: “I shouldn’t have blown up at the teacher.” Whoa.

”

Bam. Kids “misbehave” for actual, real, valid reasons. And have feelings.

For fuck’s sake, it takes the people in charge so long to figure shit like this out! Good for Lincoln High!

“Washington state was given a C in the American Society of Civil Engineers’ 2013 infrastructure report card and a C- when it came to the state’s bridges. The group said more than a quarter of Washington’s 7,840 bridges are considered structurally deficient of functionally obsolete”

Raise taxes on the wealthy.

Take the money and use it to repair/improve the infrastructure.

This will create jobs.

The creation of jobs will improve the economy, which in turn will mean more jobs are created.

This is a “win” situation for everyone, including the weathy people.

The wealthy people will have the satisfaction of knowing they finally contributed something to society.

WASHINGTON: Analyst: Chinese coal demand falling as Pacific Northwest considers export terminals | National | The Bellingham Herald:

earthfix:

If coal demand in China is falling, what could that mean for proposed NW coal export projects?

The push for mass coal exports from Washington state, already facing a huge environmental battle, also could get hit with slowing Chinese demand for coal shipments.
