In 3 yrs this #solar installation at a high school in Arkansas turned the district budget from a $250K deficit to a $1.8 million surplus. They're using the surplus to pay teachers more.
We have the solutions. Time to #BuildBackBetter

Does anyone have recommendations about a publishing company that focuses on children's books? Especially Black and/or Indigenous-focused children books? Thank you <3

@POTUS It will be a victory for no one if there is no emergency action to prevent a second Chernobyl disaster. They only have 48 hours of back up power left and it will eventually lead to a meltdown. We can't wait for a last-minute miracle. npr.org/2022/03/09/108…

This much is already clear: Ukraine will never be a victory for Putin.
Putin may be able to take a city — but he will never be able to hold the country.

I don't care who you are or what you believe. It is not okay for an adult to bully a group of young kids. @GovRonDeSantis you need to be more respectful.

NEW: @GovRonDeSantis annoyed with USF students— "You do not have to wear those masks. Please take them off. Honestly, it's not doing anything. We've gotta stop with this Covid theater. So if you wanna wear it, fine, but this is ridiculous." bit.ly/3vx0DaJ @WFLA

As current events make all too clear, our reliance on fossil fuels makes the global economy & our energy security vulnerable to geopolitical crises.
Instead of slowing down decarbonization, now is the time to accelerate the transition to a renewable energy future.

An admirable censure of Russia, but with some problematic elements. African nations did indeed have greatness before colonization. And arbitrary borders have only caused problems in many parts of the world. aljazeera.com/opinions/2022/…

@DuPont_News @Water Whoever is monitoring this account should watch "The Devil We Know." I lost a lot of sleep knowing that every child born into this world is going to be contaminated by PFAS. You should not enable this company.

@snlester As a TRIPS waiver becomes increasingly unlikely, western governments should declare their own temporary suspension of domestic COVID vaccine patents to facilitate technology transfer, as COVID is a recognized national security and public health threat in those countries too.
English
@LRobbinsJD 1) WTO DS takes a while in normal times, 2) there is no Appellate Body at the moment, and 3) it's hard to imagine anyone bringing a WTO complaint on this.
English
Here's the question I periodically ask TRIPS waiver supporters: What actions do you want governments to take after a waiver is in effect? (2 or 3 people have already answered, so this is for the other waiver supporters out there).
Global Trade Watch@PCGTW
How to end a global pandemic: Step 1. Produce billions more vaccines, which can be accelerated by waiving IP protections to produce generics. Step 2. Why haven’t you tried step 1 going into year three of a global pandemic? Step ONE. #TRIPSWaiver now. npr.org/sections/goats…
English
@snlester I see what you mean. But perhaps pharmaceutical companies will encourage WTO action later? They are powerful MNEs--retaliation is possible. Yes, Article 73 could be invoked but it would take time. Overall, TRIPS seems clumsy when faced with a global airborne pandemic.

@dbambauer I think they may be confused. When N95s are necessary to protect employees in the workplace, employers have to implement comprehensive standards and fit-testing under OSHA. But for employees in a less-dangerous field, there's no such requirement (or cause of action...)
English
The University of Arizona now *forbids* employees (e.g., me) from wearing an N95 mask without prior approval from the university. KN95: required. N95: prohibited.
This is what stupidity looks like, kids.
