While an individual child might benefit from having a higher income, that isn't money that's being magicked into existence in the economy as a whole. It simply means that that child is able to compete for higher wage jobs. The infographic that I quoted was counting those higher incomes as a "return" that the country as a whole would get by investing in lead removal. I fully support lead removal, btw, but because it's the moral thing to do, not because it will somehow make more money appear out of nowhere.

So please explain how these kids having higher IQs, and thus being able to compete for higher wage jobs, increases economic activity. Do you think that their higher IQs increase the number of higher wage jobs?

Ok, so it could increase the productivity of labor. If increasing IQ does indeed increase productivity then that could be the case, I accept that. The reasoning that the infographic used, though, is that people with higher IQs get higher incomes. It was using the difference between the incomes people receive at the improved IQs and the income they would receive at the lower IQ as the "return" that would be received on this investment.

If by some grace of God we manage to win enough legislative seats in a right-to-work state, then right to work legislation needs to be top priority. We don't have a Democratic Infrastructure without unions. Right-to-work should be non-negotiable.

PhazonLink posted:Isn't Colorado Springs the lovely libertarian town that no longer has street lights and other basic gov things? It was a suburb in Colorado Springs, but Colorado Springs is not a libertarian city. It is a full-fledged religious conservative bastion. They were rated "The Most Religious City in America" based on average church attendance and self-identified religiosity. They are home to most of the major megachurch headquarters and have "Christ-Centered Communities" where you have to sign a pledge to live a Christian life to own property in the neighborhood and the HOA can evict you and force you to sell your home if they feel you aren't being Christian enough. The Air Force Training Academy is there and there was a scandal involving air force cadets being expelled for reporting sexual assault. They would send them to a mental health counselor and they would cite bible verses to them about women's role in society and ask them why they were there in the first place. Then, if they "agreed" with the statement that they were confused or traumatized by the sexual assault, they would use that as grounds for a mental health dismissal. quote:Once victims are labeled with a serious mental illness, they can be expelled and even forced to reimburse the Academy for their education. They also had cadets do their "Christian Duty" of rooting out the impure among the cadet class: quote:But new scandals have since come to light, including reports that the Academy uses cadets as confidential informants to ferret out drug abuse and those who claim to be atheist, agnostic, jewish, or muslim to be singled out for dismal under the guise of "unit cohesion." quote:The superintendent of the school was forced to accept a demotion after contents of a shared drive on the university network labelled "Promote List" were briefly publicly accessible. The file contained attendance logs for the evangelical chapel services offered by the school. Leon Trotsky 2012 fucked around with this message at 03:09 on Sep 20, 2017 |

Yes, posting pictures of you flipping off babies is not a good career move. No, it is not detrimental to the poor infant who probably can't even see the the middle finger. Also the babies pictured had most of their bodies redacted to protect their baby identities and I'm not hunting down unedited pictures of dumb poo poo.

By far the most prominent building there is the church, and its interior layout supports one giant nave with two smaller downstairs chapels. The giant nave features pews that are angled in such a way as to make it impossible to kneel in prayer. Orthodox and Catholic students can't use it, they have to go downstairs in order to have a proper mass. It is very much an Evangelical school as much as a military academy.

The air force base is there and all the higher-ups in the Air Force graduated from the academy and stuck through, so they are all heavily opposed. Plus, no politician or general wants to spend billions of dollars to build a new air force base and academy to "keep the Christians away."
