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.

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 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.

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.
