    that would be a great solution to a part of the problem.

    we all know where the other part of the problem is housed .. 1600 Pennsylvania Ave Washington D.C.

      soon breathing will become racist .. so I hope all that are worried about race would just stop breathing.

        Whisky Tango Foxtrot are these "educated" kids thinking?


        Woke students at prestigious college reportedly complain that automatic soap dispensers are racist

        If you still don't believe that the lunatics are running the asylum, get a load of an op-ed
        First of all, let me just debunk the basis of this claim: for anyone who doesn't know, the sensors on soap dispensers don't see human hands; they don't have eyes. They work using a simple device called a PIR sensor that recognizes infrared light, which is emitted by all people, regardless of color (as long as they're not dead). Also, I don't know about you, but those darn things never work for me. I can't remember how many times I've banged on one to try to get soap out (yet it never occurred to me to blame anti-Semitism as the cause).

        But I digress. The point here isn't how a soap dispenser works. It's the idea that students at UCLA actually thought that they were designed with white supremacy in mind.

        This, and other claims like it, were not unique perspectives shared by one lone student, but rather a world-view that was reiterated and supported by the over 80 students who attended, or more accurately zoom-bombed, the debate.
        In his op-ed, Israel dismantled the growing notion that "systemic racism and white supremacy is all around us, and in everyone, and everything, a person encounters" and even more that it's "a secret forceHe added that it's increasingly difficult to engage with those who cling to wild conspiracy theories related to what they view as systemic racism since they've "become so entrenched in their far-fetched beliefs that they consider all opposition to be inherently evil (many of the pro-systemic racism students claimed all opponents to their ideas were simply racist themselves)."
        But one way you can combat the problem for now, Israel wrote, is to "confidently defy their claims publicly to prevent more unknowing people from falling into their grip."

          If these dispensers use a reflective sensor they do have trouble detecting darker skin. Not necessarily racist but bad design.

            Ex-Obama Admin Scientist Slams Biden's 'Climate Crisis' Narrative: Data 'Doesn't Support That Kind of Hysteria'

            Fox News on Thursday.
            speechclimate changefact sheet from the White HouseSince ALL living plants use CO2 to live, is this going to affect the plant life on the planet? What will that do to our FOOD supply? Tofu comes from soy beans... So doing away with CO2 will reduce the Soy plants, therefore doing away with plant based FAKE MEAT products.

                      the palm ( where you should dispense the soap ) is always lighter than the rest of the skin.

                        Where does she pull these numbers from EXCEPT for Statistics/Studies. She contradicts herslef everytime she opens her HUGE PIE HOLE!

                          Thanks for this Phil. It pretty much explains why we need to invest in sustainable energy. It must have really hurt to post some facts. Nice job. We all appreciate it.

                              Even I know he doesn't mean remove ALL of the CO2 from the atmosphere. You must also realise this, being as intelligent as you are.
