the federal government spends a disproportionate amount of money educating children with disabilities in comparison to their gen pop peers and i am getting very anxious about how quickly that is going to be viewed as "wasteful" and not giving "results"
FYI we don’t need a Department of Government Efficiency. We already have one.
@USGAO - the Government Accountability Office (GAO, est. 1921) - saves $133 for every $1 of funding it receives! If all GAO recommendations were implemented, the financial benefit could be >$200 bil.
@JoshuaOgundu Shifting from needing to prove you deserve to exist to understanding we need to address issues that marginalize anyone in order to create the society we’d all prefer to live in is not an easy ask.
@JoshuaOgundu I think it is hard to truly empathize with a group who has historically profited from your marginalization (including violent and systemic oppression).
@slowwlifee I have a pet theory that the transition getting food at supermarkets instead of bazaars or separate shops (butchers, green grocers) where you interact with store holders and proprietors has contributed to societal loneliness and atomisation
@mimi10v3@gospelofchange@AlmostMedia@sidewayskoyote@sashachapin There is also truth maybe @AlmostMedia is implying here. Sometimes people lie, but their energy doesn’t. So you say the thing ‘I don’t know why, but I feel like something is off.’ Then let them anti in with their thoughts. Sit with that, repeat as needed until ur clear 🤷♀️
