It is and I don't doubt that there is a reason for it that is not practical. By that I mean it's making a capitalist money that way. But that issue is negligible in the face of ... this
They also threw out over 2 million mail in ballots this year and black voters were nine times more likely than white voters to have their mail in ballots rejected.
I do think he wants everyone to quit and be replaced. I don't think he cares if the role is filled by someone qualified or not. That's my fear, this is truly to wreck the US.
So I learned yesterday that some auto parts cross the borders of Canada and Mexico multiple times during production. I think we will see mass layoffs at auto facilities in the US inside two weeks.
The generation that can't figure out their TV remote is attempting to legislate on cutting edge technology. Fucking series of tubes all over again. It never stopped though really.
A mandatory year in food service or retail could fix one of the main core issues we have here in the US, which is lack of empathy and respect for others. It is the genesis of so many of our problems.
Yeah, I know a little about what they're dealing with. My sister-in-law is a high school history teacher. She still has to bartend at least two nights a week to afford to raise her kids. On top of all that extra unpaid work.
The Oregon thing is new to me but not surprising. They'd already begun changing teaching to be about passing the standardized tests rather than learning by the time I graduated high school, over 20 years ago.
21% of adult Americans are considered to have low English literacy. Two thirds of these people were born in the US. This basically means they can read the words in a paragraph, but not understand the meaning of the paragraph. A further 4% are functionally illiterate.
This is disgusting.
Fuck "No Child Left Behind". Kids shouldn't pass elementary school without being able to deduce the meaning of a paragraph unless they have a mental disability. I don't care if they have to repeat 5th grade three times. And of course any non passing student should be offered tutoring for free long before they get to the point of being held back.
Yeah just a question or a word of encouragement or a recommendation so it didn't seem like I was advertising. I like most things to be publicly posted but not everything. If Lemmy gets a bunch of bot spam PMs, legit ones will be less likely to get a response.
The new head of the agency badged them in, set them up in executive positions, and told his employees to obey them. They don't even have security clearance or government credentials. One of them is 18 fucking years old. Assuming you're talking about the fiasco at the Office of Personnel Management.
Thank you.
