Communist brainwashing. @elonmusk has paid the most taxes out of anyone in America, created 150k jobs, and 4400 millionaires just from SpaceX’s IPO. The top 10% pay 70% of all income tax. The government should be giving out awards for that much tax money paid.
Can someone please explain it to me like I'm five, why members of Congress are more upset that Elon became a trillionaire than they are that Somalis have defrauded our government out of hundreds of billions of dollars?
@BernieSanders Elon Musk creates 4400 millionaires to include hundreds of working-class people in one IPO.
Bernie has created 1 millionaire. Himself.
Stop listening to socialists. They don't know how to create wealth, only how to steal it.
We give kids more praise than any generation in history.
We also have a generation more anxious than any we've measured.
Turns out praise was never the thing holding them up. Proof they can actually do hard things was. And we quietly stopped letting them collect any proofs.
The USDA says a child costs $311,000 to raise. They also assume you'll institutionalize every function of family life — daycare, tutors, activities, school.
Strip the institutions.
Keep the child.
The math changes completely.
'Brainwashing' is real but if you allow yourself to be brainwashed as an adult, it's still your fault.
ALL of us are constantly exposed to propaganda. Learn discernment.
I think it's weird to intentionally choose to end your own bloodline, but if that's what you want then it's not anybody's job to stop you.
The future will go to those who show up for it.
Not teaching students math facts because they can use calculators, spelling rules because they have spell check, historical dates because they can google it, or writing skills because they have Al is a travesty. Depriving students of these things enslaves them to technology rather than freeing them to flourish as human beings.
To replace everything a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom does for her family, you'd need $180,000 a year.
Instead we told her to get a job.
Handed her empire to strangers.
And called it progress.
'Traditional' wisdom saves people from a lot of pain, frustration, and heartbreak.
There is a good reason why certain advice has stood the test of time for thousands of years, across cultures and nations.
You might be the exception to any given rule, but most people are not.
I have a few married friends who have younger kids.
Within these past couple of years, all of them have left their careers to stay home with their kids and homeschool.
They all had to make adjustments, and they've had some financial sacrifices, but the decision to be a SAHM was something they all knew would be beneficial.
And guess what?
They're doing amazing!
One couple has built a huge garden where they teach their kids as well as other homeschooled kids how to grow their own food.
One couple has turned a large portion of their backyard into a space for chickens, ducks, and geese. They teach their kids how to care for animals and make money from the eggs.
One couple was able to focus more time and effort into their beef cattle business, and they're teaching their kids the importance of raising animals in a humane environment and running a business.
They don't worry about school days and times. They take vacations whenever they want to.
They spend more time as a family. They learn about God and Jesus. They learn about the land.
The financial sacrifices the family had to make have turned into something priceless in return.
Raising their kids the way they want to and teaching them valuable life lessons.
All of the kids are the most social, respectful, and well-behaved kids I have ever met.
This is what America should be about. This is what we need to get back to.
These are my kind of people. 🇺🇸
I didnt think I would have children. I didnt think it was possible.
When I finally did, 10 years after all my friends, I was so happy. It was HUGE.
One day when my son was around 2, my friend asked me when I was going to return to work. Told me I needed "something for myself" and that I was more than "just" a mum.
I found this incredibly offensive. I still do.
Since becoming a mother I discovered my true self. Alongside learning to be a mother, I learned to cook, bake, and grow food. I learned to crochet, found joy in reading again, learned to manage a home and even how to homeschool.
I was infuriated that in her eyes, none of that counts. She actually laughed at me for enjoying gardening. It was maddening that my newly found hobbies were not good enough. That day made it clear that society (and her) will never see me as valuable until I am back working for big corp.
Its been a strained friendship ever since. She doesnt understand or appreciate who I am. She thinks I am weird for wanting fresh food and enjoying caring for my family instead of going to work.
Stop defining success by things you do outside the home, you are missing your biggest achievements. There is so much to be proud of. There is so much joy to be found in the 'mundane'. Its so freeing to live life for yourself instead of a boss. If this isnt "something for myself" then how could a crappy office job meet that definition???
Having children and a strong home and marriage is the best thing you can do with your life.
I will never stop telling young women that. It's the truth.
I remember having this exact same thought process when I was 20 years old and everyone told me I should want to go back to work and leave my baby with someone else all day. It’s the most retarded idea anyone’s ever had in all of human history.
If I stay home and raise my own children I am a loser and not ambitious
But if I hire and pay another woman to raise and take care of my children for me than I am an empowered woman
If that same woman stayed home with her children she would be a loser
But if she takes care of my children she is not
If we both switched and raised each others children for a paycheck we would be successful ambitious girl bosses
But if we do it for our own children we are losers
I will forever and always scoff at the argument that “homeschooled kids aren’t socialized.” Last night my 12YO went on a bus trip. He was the only kid without a phone, and he was the outsider because of that. He actually IS socialized and wanted to chat and hang out with his friends. Instead, they were all on their phones. So tell me who has socialization problems again??? It certainly isn’t the homeschooled kids.
