@American555Girl And another kick in the balls is my 80 yr old father has a “lady friend” grrrrr ugmrggf. My siblings and I are struggling with this. Therapy is helping me through 😖

[Kate @RedStateKate]

@American555Girl There are no words to describe what you r feeling rn. I was in denial for 2 yrs w/my mom. She suffered thru chemo,was very sick. I pretended she would eventually get better to cope w/it. 5yrs later, I can’t believe she’s gone, took me abt 1 1/2 yrs to accept it. 💔Praying4U 🙏🏻

@American555Girl I agree with the others here. Let him know how you feel. You shouldn’t have to grieve alone. Both of you need each other right now. Maybe try to do little things together like once a week or so even if it’s going to church & lunch or watching a favorite sport team. It helps.

This is a bogus article

Autistic children being injected with unapproved stem cell treatments supported by RFK Jr
Desperate US parents paying up to $20,000 a session for a procedure scientists say could be bogus

Kennedy appeared by video link at the first two annual summits held in San Diego by Autism Health, a leading advocate of stem cell infusions for autistic kids.
At the summit last year, he told the audience that “your issue is no longer on the fringe”. At this year’s gathering in April, he promised to “create opportunities that extend across a lifetime” and to work with the stem cell providers “to drive solutions together”.
Those providers included Mike Chan, a Malaysian physician who presented the San Diego summit with a protocol that he practices from his clinic in Bangkok. It involves injecting autistic children in the buttocks with high doses of stem cells extracted from slaughtered sheep and rabbits.

This article is disingenuous. As a parent of autistic child, I have seen some positive gains. And it’s a shame we are not doing everything we can to help these families.

It's getting bad: RFK Jr. , clinics selling stem cells for autism including one selling rabbit/sheep cell injections for kids https://t.co/BOgyKWqhxs #stemcells #autism

Switzerland has the better overall education system, particularly for producing strong average outcomes across the population, practical skills, and efficient integration with the workforce. The U.S. excels in elite higher education and innovation scale but lags in K-12 consistency and broad performance relative to its spending.
Key Data from International Assessments (PISA 2022)
PISA tests 15-year-olds in math, science, and reading. It is the best standardized global benchmark.
• Math: Switzerland 508 (top ~8 OECD), U.S. 465 (around 34th OECD, below average). Switzerland outperforms significantly.
• Science: Switzerland 503, U.S. 499 (both near or slightly above OECD average of 485).
• Reading: U.S. 504 (strong, 6th among OECD), Switzerland 483.
• Aggregated: Switzerland ~1,494 vs. U.S. ~1,468.
Switzerland consistently ranks higher in math and science (critical for STEM and economy). The U.S. has improved its relative rank due to bigger drops elsewhere post-COVID, but absolute scores show Switzerland’s edge in core skills. Other assessments like TIMSS show similar patterns: U.S. competitive in science but trails top performers in math.
Structure and Outcomes
Switzerland:
• Decentralized (cantonal control) but high national standards.
• Early tracking into academic or vocational paths after primary school, with a world-class dual apprenticeship system (school + paid work). ~70% of students pursue vocational training.
• Low youth unemployment, strong manufacturing/tech base.
• Compulsory education to age 16-18; high completion rates.
• Public funding efficient (~5.6% GDP); strong teacher pay and respect.
• High public satisfaction (76% per OECD, near Finland’s top).
• Per capita, produces elite outcomes (ETH Zurich, EPFL rank globally top in engineering/science). Vocational paths lead to high-skill jobs without massive debt.
• Criticisms: Early tracking can limit mobility for some; less emphasis on broad “college for all.”
United States:
• Highly decentralized (state/local control), leading to wide variation by district/zip code.
• Comprehensive K-12 with less early tracking; heavy push toward college (often criticized as “college for all”).
• Top-tier universities (many global leaders in research/innovation). High Nobel prizes, patents, and startup output largely from elite institutions + immigrant talent.
• Higher per-student spending than most OECD countries, yet mediocre average K-12 results.
• Challenges: Lower math/science consistency, achievement gaps by demographics/socioeconomics, teacher quality variation, curriculum debates, and high student debt.
• Literacy/attainment: Near-universal basic literacy, but functional skills and equity lag in international comparisons.
• Strengths: Flexibility, extracurriculars, and pathways for high achievers. Strong in higher education research output.
Higher education: U.S. dominates in prestige, research volume, and global rankings for top schools. Switzerland offers high quality at low cost (public universities ~$1,400-2,000/year tuition for internationals) with strong practical focus and lower debt.
Broader Metrics
• Equity and efficiency: Switzerland delivers more consistent quality with less waste. U.S. has pockets of excellence but systemic underperformance in many public schools.
• Workforce outcomes: Swiss vocational system reduces skills mismatch and youth unemployment. U.S. has higher mismatch, underemployment of graduates, and reliance on immigration for high-skill roles.
• Innovation/economy: U.S. leads absolutely (scale + elite unis). Switzerland leads per capita in patents, competitiveness, and efficient high-value sectors.
• Historical note: U.S. K-12 was stronger mid-20th century relative to peers; declines in some metrics align with policy shifts, spending increases without proportional gains, and cultural changes (e.g., less rigorous standards in places).
