Heather Mace: Stoking culture war instead of aiding education

  • Heather Mace Special to the Arizona Daily Star

    The reinstallation of the red-light cameras can be included in the RTA Next project plans. No longer should we be placed in life-threatening compromises by red-light runners.

            Gasoline prices have increased more than $1 a gallon during the last month, as President Donald Trump’s war with Iran continues. As a result, many consumer staples that rely on diesel-fueled trucks to reach store shelves are more costly. Food prices are climbing, in part due to a logjam of g…

              As the use of artificial intelligence accelerates, several state legislatures and U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders are calling for a pause on the development of AI data centers. They worry about lost jobs for working people and the potential dangers of superintelligence.

                Letter: Desalinization is the answer

                  Middle Eastern countries that use desalinization of sea water to provide fresh water for their people include Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Israel, Algeria and Egypt. We have one such system serving San Diego.

                    Gas and diesel prices have soared since the start of the Iran war. But the situation could get worse later this year because of ethanol requirements and problems with fertilizer supply chains.

                          🎧 The hosts examine how personalized feeds amplify conflict, bury progress and leave citizens exhausted and polarized, reinforcing a distorted picture of society that feels broken and perpetually on edge.

As a result, many consumer staples that rely on diesel-fueled trucks to reach store shelves are more costly. Food prices are climbing, in part due to a logjam of global fertilizer supply -- nearly a third of which depends on the Strait of Hormuz for transit to farmers worldwide.
