Who Should Run In 2020?

94. Oh gosh,

my condolences! I am certain you, of all people, would know. And I thank you for your service!

I am saddened by the constant decline in our education system, I noticed even when I was in college in the 90s, how bad it had become. I am a proofreader and I was asked many a time to proof papers for my professors and work study bosses and fellow students, including graduate work while I was an undergrad. I was often horrified by the lack of understanding of the language even then. I live out in the northern Rockies and I swear there is the possibility of a genetic "thing" where they can't seem to get simple stuff like; the difference between the words then and thanwhere to use an apostrophe, I could go on with or examples but I'm sure you've seen a lot yourself... my highly educated colleagues couldn't write which made me question their reading skills. But I digress.

I feel for anyone in your field, this is like a big poke in the eye - like that avatar pic of the moon with a big peg in its eye. I'm dealing with the public lands protection in my world, there's a lot of it out here and it's horrifying how so many think that the destructive industries that were close to the only employment in the 60s and 70s will ever come back and be as enriching as they were back then. These industries have been dying off as the rest of us realize the damage to the biosphere these industries caused and that we can't do that anymore. Public education on that topic and the importance of our wildlife and their habitats has been my gig for a while, I get that it's a job just holding the attention of the general public, kids are the biggest challenge for me.
