Reply to comment by MojitoSipper in Massachusetts teachers, what should I know before becoming a high school teacher in this state? by MojitoSipper

We have all been there, you'll be able to move about eventually. When you start out you don't really have a lot of choice. You might get lucky with a long-term sub position in a desirable district. Or an early retirement they weren't expecting. But for the most part you need to start at a not as great district and then apply to other districts as you gain experience.

I think a lot of districts like teachers with 3 to 6 years of experience. They probably see that as a sweet spot because you don't cost too much yet, but you aren't brand new.

It's not pro fossil fuels though. It's pro consumer. We need more renewable energy, but that takes time to build. In the meantime us buying gas from foreign countries makes no sense when the United States is one of the largest suppliers of natural gas, including liquid natural gas. There are no liquid natural gas tankers made in the United States, which is why the Jones act prevents us from getting natural gas from within our own country.

Because the Jones Act (ancient piece of crap federal legislation) prevents us from importing gas from the Gulf or other domestic sources. And Russia is decimating Ukraine, which has disrupted the entire energy sector.

Until we get rid of the Jones Act, Ukraine defeats Russia, or we transition to natural energy sources, we will have high prices.
