Cap and Trade works! We tried to get a regional cap and trade deal done in the Northeast, with several states participating except of course, NJ which at the time had Christie as Governor.

Cap and Trade works! We tried to get a regional cap and trade deal done in the Northeast, with several states participating except of course, NJ which at the time had Christie as Governor. Then Sandy hit; you think that would affect people's thinking, but no. On another front, 'Poorly educated, ignorant red state voters' says it all. Schools in the Southern states are horrible. Combined with the US' low ranking in public education globally, no one in these Red states can understand the science, health concerns of climate change. After Brown v. The Board, public schools became mostly minority and whites establish their own private schools in the South. Essentially, the South ended up paying for 2 separate school systems, neither of which is very good. Back in 2011, when my son was applying to colleges, each High School across the country was assigned a number. Colleges looked at that ID number and, if you went to a Southern school, you were penalized. We lived in NJ, so didn't affect us. Why else would these people vote for Trump? Ignorance, delusion... The big case against Trump was the criminal Tax Fraud case against Trump Org.; you'd think that would really show voters that a guy who lies on his taxes should not be President. But, his voters? They just don't understand the crime.
Ilived in a small Louisiana town for 9 months in1956. The town just finished building the all white High School, the old four story school was declared unfit,but years later itr was being used to house seniors.
Tne town had built Abraham Lincoln High, well before the built the all white high school, it was actually a decent facility.There were two HS football teams. Abraham Lincoln was rated AAA state wide,where the white team didn't get on the board. Needless to say the good white folk of the town were all behind and supportive of Abraham Lincoln. Oh they were still racist,but everyone likes a winner, no one a loser.
