Computers are a draw for kids to stay indoors but I think another problem is a massive influx of men from an ethnic group that struggles with sex-related crime.

Or maybe DOESN’T struggle with that.

Children are kept inside for fear of pedos, traffic, drugs, bullies, shootings and child services.

Can’t hack real college courses?
Try journalism.

That used to be true. Now, it is widely understood that said degrees are nearly worthless and they can have an even easier time in Diversity Studies type degrees so they don't ever have to leave the womb of college SJWs.

back in 84 we moved to a new house. The kids unpacked their skates and were skating in the driveway/garage while i was inside working. 4 & 7 years old.
My neighbor came over to bang on the door and inform me it was not safe to let the girls out front to play.
I told her I was fine with it and she should go back home.
So this BS of not letting kids outside has been with us a loong time.

the election of Trump has totally unhinged the gloBULL warming mob:

10 Sept: Bloomberg: Yellen Touts Carbon Tax as ‘Textbook Solution’ to Climate Change
By Jennifer A Dlouhy
Former Fed chair joins prominent conservatives behind plan
Tax would cut more emissions than Obama-era regulations
Former Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen says a tax on carbon dioxide emissions would do more to combat climate change than a slew of federal environmental regulations being undone by the Trump administration.

Yellen joins former Walmart Inc. Chairman Rob Walton, former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers and former Secretary of State George Shultz in delivering a pitch for the carbon tax-and-dividend plan, released Monday (LINK) along with an analysis of its potential emissions reductions.
“From the standpoint of an economist, the most efficient way to tackle climate change is to tax emissions — to create a disincentive to emit carbon dioxide,” Yellen said in an interview before the report’s release. “It’s the right solution to a problem, and it’s collected in a way that is practical and feasible.”

The proposal has the backing of a broad coalition of prominent conservatives, economists and corporations that have united as the Climate Leadership Council and developed a multiyear strategy for advancing the initiative on Capitol Hill. Corporate supporters, which have a roughly $2.4 trillion market cap, include Exxon Mobil Corp. and three other oil giants as well as the largest U.S. automaker, General Motors Co.; utility, Exelon Corp., and telecommunications firm, AT&T Inc...

it’s the gloBULL warming mob that is destroying young lives with their propaganda:

10 Sept: Gizmodo: These Scientists Formed A Fortnite Squad To Teach Players About Climate Change
by Brian Kahn
Amid the 125 million Fortnite players, you’ll find rich and famous folks like Lil Yachty, Drake, and David Price (just not at Fenway). But there’s a new squad in town that’s about more than talking shit and selling albums. Scientists are braving the dangerously popular game to talk about climate change.
It’s a seemingly unlikely avenue for climate communication, but by taking the science out of lecture halls and into the most popular game on the planet and Twitch, the researchers hope to make climate change more accessible...

The seed for this idea was planted on Twitter in mid-July, when climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe mused that traffic for her son’s Fortnite videos on YouTube crushed her climate talk videos’ traffic. This is impressive (or depressing, depending on how view it) when you consider Hayhoe is a leading climate science communicator with a devoted following...

” Extreme heat waves and droughts sparked fires around the world and cloaked California in hazardous smoke.”

I guess environmentalists who were successful in getting states to ban clearing underbrush and dead trees from forests bear no responsibility in these uncontrollable fires.
