The comment I was responding to was just straight up accusing people in favor of later start times of misinterpretation of studies which is a bad argument imo. You are making a completely different bad argument here. Sports are good for kids, but I cannot agree that they should take preference over learning. Bussing is an issue, but to act like it can’t be solved and kids have to start school unreasonably early just strikes me as a lazy argument.

The research showing the benefit of later start times is pretty overwhelming. I think you may be the one choosing to believe your own “statistics” here.

Makes sense. It’s kind of funny to look at OPs post history to see “Lewiston Sun Journal” cut off at different places.

This article is about the one in Portland. I have no idea where Lewiston came from in the title.

There’s a huge difference, and you’re a fool if you can’t see that. Democrats aren’t all that great but Republicans are batshit crazy.

Republicans have no plan to fix anything. They are simply campaigning on culture war nonsense.

I think you got that one backwards

Well, you definitely are not arguing the same point, and you seem to be misunderstanding what I am saying as well. I am not saying to do nothing. I’m saying that your empty platitudes like job training are meaningless when there are no jobs to train for.
Edit: You also might want to revisit what the issue is here. It’s climate change and not overfishing.

> So government intervention is badly needed. Be it a short term payment to the fishermen or offering them free or discounted training for trades/
So then you would agree this is an oversimplification of the issue, right? I feel like you have shifted your argument a bit since that original comment.

How do we invest in jobs for them? Lobster is a resource that brings in tons of money from outside Maine. Replacing that isn’t as simple as offering job training.

I feel like this is a really naive comment. Like we can just snap our fingers and reshape our economy.

Obviously other careers exist. There just aren’t a lot in Maine. My point is that we need more than training for better careers, we need for better careers to exist here.

The problem in Maine is, what jobs would they train for?

I was talking to some researchers this summer who are very concerned about larval lobster abundance the last couple years along the southern coast of Maine. It takes a lobster about 7 years to reach keeper size. Overfishing or not, they should be concerned about the future of the fishery.

This is climate change driven. It’s just that most research has focused on surface temperatures which are easier/cheaper to track.
