• Probably but I bet the correlation is weak. Do you have a study that shows otherwise? I know engineers generally are more conservative compared to the other science-y white collar professions but I know several engineers who have the same level of education as I do who are total redhats.

      I don’t discuss politics at work. That is my safe place from that bullshit.

      And yet: “education” is never the panacea people pretend it is, when they scoff at DIRECT solutions to visible problems. ‘Don’t take action! Let’s opine about a generation-long project to prevent this from happening again.’

      Because if there’s anything safe from the meddling of disinformation-pushing conservative bastards, it’s school.

        I believe when people talk about education and schooling it’s about the future, not the present. The current generations are already set in their ways.

        So to take ‘direct action’ would depend on what actions you’re actually able to take.
