I don't know. Make it illegal for a kid to own a smart phone. If they're out in public with them they're confiscated and parents are fined. Aggressively police and report when minors are exposed as being minors online. Inverse pedo hunters. Giga fine social media companies that knowingly let minors post or join.
I never heard about this, fascinating. I have long suspected firefighting might attract people who want to be seen as heroes more than actually be them.
The only problem I have with this is that minors definitely need a way to electronically communicate in general (Specific context: I just think kids at large not being able to call home independently is fucked up. Consider a more ideal scenario where kids are back to being comfortable generally running around town on their own, it would be ideal for kids to have easy access to calling back home to their parents, and parents calling them, right?), but definitely not full Smartphones.
Agrees, just give kids "dumb phones" with basic phone calls, SMS and a GPS on it. Hell, make them government issued so literally all kids have them.
It's a Republican politician's favorite type of issue: some salacious moral crusade they can grift and campaign on while they continue selling the country out to every corporate interest and foreign government.
Right, I wouldn't necessarily go entirely "government issued to every kid in America", as you said, but a more general program so families can access simplified and approved phones to maintain easy contact with their children would be ideal.
How about parents fucking parent their kids? It's not that hard. Don't gorilla glue an iPad into the child's hands before they're a certain age. Solves every problem developmentally, societally, grammatically...
Good luck on that, like making kids in the day illegal to have access to modems to download it. Ridiculous.
God bless our homeschooling hero parents, but outside of that situation, this is a delusional goal. If your kid goes to any kind of school the other kids will make sure they get full exposure to the full gamut of Internet depravity.
I generally try to give them the benefit of the doubt, But of the 3 branches of first responders, every interaction with them I've ever had has left me feeling like "Dude... why are you such an entitled sounding dick?"
My only interactions with them so far were back in college when kids would somehow fuck up cooking in the dorms and trigger an alarm. They always acted like it was some huge burden that they had to get deployed to a call. I get that it's a dumb type of call, but also, like, it's your job?
Even home schooling parents, unless they live literally on a farm an hour from other families, have their kids participate in extra curriculars (sports, arts, friendships) with both other home schoolers and normie kids. Home schooling helps but it's hardly a solution on its own.
He can't be serious right? America's hat would be California on steroids if it was a state. The sane country that kept Castros son for so long.
The people would be a burden, but the resources wouldn't. Seems to basically be how Trump looks at things, hence his willingness to import 120,000 H1Bs this year.
The issue is most gooners are usually able to get around any barriers the government puts in their way to stop them gooning
He's not.
