Heads up in case you don't know, most people are going to interpret this as incredibly racist because it almost definitely is

This is the bully pulpit the president has. Tell me you don’t know what powers the president has without telling me. Smh. Go back to civics class and learn who legislates.

They are also giving each kid who turns 400€ for a cultural event which includes going to bull fighting. And the greyhounds is because they don't eat to lose votes with hunters. They don't actually care about animals obviously. Just votes.

A TV show you could easily have googled

If your therapist is like the therapist on Ted Lasso…maybe get a new therapist.

She lets him follow her home! Inside her home! No boundaries whatsoever! The romance will-they-won’t-they that the show is setting up is completely inappropriate. You do not hang out with former clients and you definitely do not romantically engage with them. I will stop watching if he gets over his ex by boning his therapist.

The job of a good therapist is to build relationship and support your needs wherever you’re going. It’s not to smack you in the face with Hard Truths About Yourself that you’re not ready to hear. I suspect the clinicians who do practice this way have some unmet needs regarding dominance and control.

And my last complaint about her is that while I don’t know the ethics codes for sports psychologists, many therapists try to avoid seeing people who are close friends (with each other) for individual therapy as it can cause a conflict of interest, or it can be hard for the clients. It’s not always possible but this is why many teams just contract out for an EAP rather than having just one person on staff.

I meant central Spain, not Madrid.

Oh boy, it's horrible.

>By tradition, the dogs are often killed by hanging them by their necks with their feet just touching the ground, swaying back and forth causing the dogs extreme pain and agony for several days until they die.

>The hunters believe that the more the dogs suffer, the more successful the following hunting season will be.

They also have this method of "exercising" the dogs where the dogs are all attached behind vehicles and essentially pulled along. If the fall they are dragged. They cull the "weak" like this. But the dogs are already kept in deplorable conditions.

Sadly these dogs are currently excluded from having protection.

Of course i know that, I work at MIT, not Walmart. But that doesn't mean that i approve of everything that goes on in university research. I feel if a private equity company wants to invest in research they're going to want to see profit back, that's it. No profit no company, or like SVB, no Bank.

I believe that if the government invests in research, the government needs to have its money paid back, with profit. Otherwise the government is investing in research companies that will benefit from and get rich, and in effect the government are subsidizing private companies profit.

I know the argument, that all of society benefits, companies get rich, floats all boats, but when i was born out debt was at 0.5trillion,when I graduated from high school the national debt was 1.5 trillion, and today it's at 33trillion. We can't keep spending and printing money as the debt will never come due.

If the govt was making residuals from the technology that it helped develop and gave away to companies that did profit, our dept would be much less.

Yeah, I have a clue, I just don't always agree with the party line.

As we sit on the precipice of another bank collapse and depression, it seems a lot of people very high up, that should have a clue, as it's their job, in fact don't.

So don't act as if this is an easy fix or that we should keep going the way it's been going, because there are a lot of people that can see that things are not working very well and in the long run things will have to change.

He's the president of the USA. Are you serious?

Pretty negative and cynical thing to express around here

Why wait until his party has lost control of Congress? This show has been on for years.

From the original story:

>Biden has previously called on lawmakers in both parties to expand resources to fight the “mental health crisis” in the nation as part of his “ unity agenda.” His administration has surged funding to bolster the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline and expand school-based mental health professionals.

Your point? There is not much he can do honestly

When it’s okay to beat a bit**. Lol.

Never okay to hit your animals.

Yes, exactly. Or until people start to actually vote for and care about the bodies of government that can actually make changes. The house and Senate are the 2 most powerful bodies, yet people think the president can wave a wand and boom we have universal healthcare.

They do, but not to make healthcare free or change any laws. The house and Senate are the 2 most powerful bodies in government.

The president power really comes into play after laws are passed.

He cant create programs, make laws. He can only operate within the laws.

Get back to me if that happens. Seriously.

Pure cope, this is an ad for a TV show conducted by our political leaders

I'll ask the same question I always ask, who the fuck is Ted Lasso?

As spaniard I can concurre. Spain is such a joke. Politics are so corrupt all around the spectre. Left and right, nationalists and independentists, and don't even get me started on the crown... We're geographicly european, but we're so far behind from our neighbord France.. Heck, even Portugal isn't that big of a joke...

It is entirely possible that Biden will use this as an opportunity to announce additional resources being allocated for mental health services...

It wasn't too long ago that mental illness were dismissed as only a condition that weak-minded people have, not a real serious condition that deserves treatment and research. Public awareness is an important part of consciousness raising.

We should laud when pieces of media actually do an ok job in helping make invisible problems salient, which is what Ted Lasso has done (to whatever extents is up to your judgment).

I fear that is how the thinking goes - window dressing like this somehow manifests robust public policy (decades later?)

Fax, people need to realize Presidents can't always make unilateral decisions, vote for your local and state representatives that align with your views and get more things do.
