    A healthy, broadly educated population, which feels safe and secure, is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.

    They need you to be sick, stupid, and scared.

    If they want to dismantle a union, start with police unions. But I’m sure that’s the one and only union they would support. Tells you something about these assholes. And police.

    You can tell Trump has dementia: in the retirement home my grandpa was in at the end of his life, they also labeled the different rooms for when the residents got confused and lost.

      Teacher’s Unions aren’t perfect and there have been some valid complaints about them, but that’s basically every union. Honestly, my biggest complaint is that teachers have unions and they’re still not paid enough.

      But at any rate, this is typical conservative rhetoric. “We’ve found (or invented) one thing we can complain about, so rather than having a rational, calm discussion about the state of things and how we can improve that thing, we want to cause the most drama, scare everybody the most, and tear everything down, while promising to replace it with something better, a promise that we’ll never, ever, in a million years, deliver on.”

        they arnt, even in blue areas while thier wages are much higher, the hcol kinda negates it, unless you somehow can make it to 10+years as a teacher you will get close to 100k, usually teachers often supported by thier SOs most of the time.

        it should be 100k from the start. they are dealing with admins with red tape bratty children, unruly parents, children that arnt willing to learn,etc.

      Because Republicans hate education. Most of the maga crowd will cheer this as a way to get back at the “wokes”, or “intellectual elites”.

          I can’t think of anything dumber than labeling intelligence as evil….

          Voting a convicted felon sex offender pedophile serial liar insurrectionist gassy orange fatman with a weird yellow comb-over and a bad case of fronto-temporal dementia as president?

        There’s a reason that authoritarian revolutions typically have a “kill all the eggheads” phase. That type of arrogance isn’t compatible with someone saying, “Hey guys, I’ve studied this my whole life and what you’re saying is incorrect.”. Fragile egos can’t deal with the idea that they might be wrong about something, so they just hulk smash anything that might cause cognitive dissonance and move on.

      My dad is maga. The reason he would say is the teachers union protects bad teachers and just shuffles them around.

      Don’t agree with it but that’s the talking point.

            That’s so weird. I mean there are going to be shitheads everywhere, but why do many in Gary porn? Is it just a weird statistical cluster, or is there something cultural?

            Probably some great video essays on this, I should go looking >>

              probably their upbringing in conservative areas? and racism is still part of it too, which warps the audiences minds/perception too when its mostly white people majority of the time they are doing the films. when its done in reverse the Asians (top) vs whites people get all racist.

    I can top that.

    They are capturing and selling horses off to slaughter, at a severe loss. They spend up to $3,000 to capture wild horses then sell middlemen for $25. Those dudes then sell the houses abroad to slaughter plants for $750.

    There’s absolutely no fucking reason to do this. They tried to buy gas chambers for to kill the horses faster.

    EDIT: Sorry, I just realize my comment is not related to work reform. I just wanted to point out how much more evil and cruel these people are. They are vile.

    I wonder what happened during their childhood, really do, for all the people in Trump’s government and his superrich supporters. There must have been some serious traumatic stuff going on. So much anger, hate, selfishness and lack of empathy.

      we know trump himself has been “groomed” by his dad, fred trump,and his father before that. likely many in his cabinet have some sort of pervasions, that trump can use against them. leavitt, married the guy that groomed her, hes like 2.5times her age.
