Happy New Year to everyone except MAT Asphalt!
Today I'm going to explain why I personally am opting out of this settlement. I'm not a lawyer, this isn't advice.

This is, in my opinion, already problematic.

Every orange dot on this map is a school that was not visited by a snow plow 🧵
I've compiled the data into a public spreadsheet here, where you can see the plow timestamps by school with a separate sheet for just today, and another sheet showing the earliest timestamps per facility docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

Thread.
Please don't think you're going to be able to filter out all the racism, sexism, ableism, fascism from your kids media. You can't, it's the water we swim in.
You have to inoculate your kids against it by teaching them to identify and critique harmful tropes/frames
