@stelloprint @BethforGlendale @loganb No one is “defending” anything. Simply stating that the prerequisite fundamentals are taught before more specialized training. You cannot learn anything you listed above without them. Most of our population is educated in public schools, whether you think that’s optimal or not.

@stelloprint @BethforGlendale @loganb Fantastic point! Medical students and HVAC repairmen just appear out of nowhere at 18 able to read, write, and do math.

@BethforGlendale @loganb Elderly homeowners are the biggest beneficiaries of public schools as almost every service and good they continue to receive was made possible by it. Their doctors and hvac did not appear out of nowhere!

@wanyeburkett Someone could walk into anyones workplace and find 10 things that beggar belief based on their initial misunderstanding of the work. They could find 20 if they willingly want to. “You spent hundred of thousands of dollars wildly shopping on Amazon!” While you paid for AWS..etc.

[Chirs @chirs23]

@JeremyFrisch Thanks so much!

[Chirs @chirs23]

@leamaric To me it’s like saying: “oh you talk with your wife on the PHONE!? You are demanding that she verbally update you 24/7?!?” No…it’s a useful tool that allows us to plan and live together more easily.

@leamaric To the “tracking” skeptics. When you share locations, it does not mean you are “tracking” them anymore than when you ask “how much longer till u arrive home?” We share locations because it’s a lot safer, especially when they are driving and you need to know their ETA.

[Chirs @chirs23]

@Dannii__TB @leamaric I’m convinced that a lot of the pushback to this is due to people not being married and not understanding the usefulness of the feature to daily life for couples, especially with kids.

Anyone else tired by how many products are subscription rather than a one off purchase now? Can I just buy something once and then have it and be done? I don’t need an account with you

[Chirs @chirs23]

@PreciselyPosit1 @wanyeburkett This has been my experience too. I can look, find, cancel all on one list. It’s been great.

[Chirs @chirs23]

@jersey8934 @Pirate_EOD @nfthiero @wanyeburkett Will you pay your fair share when my kids fix your shit? You think Timmy just popped out as a doctor or HVAC repairman? Lucy exited the womb and helped design the computer chip in your phone? Parents pay with almost all their money and time to make the people who you depend on.

[Chirs @chirs23]

@realRyanEagle @SFR_Investor Exactly, and doesn’t Ramsey recommend having a 6 month liquid emergency fund? Most anyone paying off their mortgage early probably has a good amount liquid!

[Chirs @chirs23]

@kevinleeme @JoeCassandra You will “put your kids first” and that’s great and will not result in a divorce. Only focusing on kids will cause problems though.

[Chirs @chirs23]

@binney_z @EHPlimsoll1 @mattyglesias It should not be described as letting bad-faith right wing activists determine it but instead “should we better understand our biases and how we present ourselves to an increasingly skeptical public”. It’s not just right wingers who are doubting the value of these disciplines.

[Chirs @chirs23]

@wanyeburkett I’d argue it’s best for the bottom 80th! I know lots of smart/wealthy people who don’t have more than a month of living expenses saved and tons of unnecessary debt.

[Chirs @chirs23]

@JeremyFrisch Jeremy all these posts are amazing. As a dad, I want to do these with my kids. Do you have a list and description of these skill based games? Recommend a book or business that does this?

[Chirs @chirs23]

@LivFaustDieJung @magdajtaylor DINKS deserve love and joy, but I find these types of videos slightly annoying as if every parent on earth does not understand the ease of living without kids. We know! It’s like making a video arguing that ice cream tastes good. Everyone already understands.

[Chirs @chirs23]

@ramit Renting is paying a higher price for stability and ease. That makes sense in certain situations but is on average a bad long term bet on something you will use everyday. Name one other product where renting is the cheaper for something you will use everyday for your entire life.

[Chirs @chirs23]

@dollarbillbluez Add onto that that neither “chai” nor “naan” are English nouns, there is potential for confusion when used by an American without specific context. “I need naan right now” will make me question whether you said “naan” or I misheard you. There is no question with “naan bread”.

[Chirs @chirs23]

@dollarbillbluez I think people forget than in American English both “bread” and “tea” are usually preceded by a descriptor, hence why saying “chai” or “naan” alone sounds weird. Almost no one requests just “tea” or “bread”. Ask someone for “bread” and their response will be “what kind?”
