@libsoftiktok@SFUSD_Supe Fed DoE actually provides very little funding for local schools. If you want to get local school power structures' attention, eliminate property taxes and replace revenue $ for $ with an "education tax" shown on every sales receipt in the jurisdiction. Show the people the scam!
@txsalth2o I was delighted when a close friend from my youth reached out after 40 yrs. Then I was puzzle that he wouldn't meet at any time I suggested. Lunch, coffee, weekend, whatever, kept suggesting this one time of day I could not accommodate. Then I saw he'd hyphenated w his wife ๐
@fasc1nate Goodall: observer.
GCW: observer effect?
Worth the ask especially now that we know, post covid, how little of science is real and how many scientists are narcissistic charlatans
@politicalmath@instapundit Wouldn't it be lovely if that were true. The real truth is that doctors, by and large, and professional public health "experts" are lazy group thinkers to the extent they even think at all. They're not cowards. They're dangerous idiots.
@EchoesofWarYT Why is the Obama one so different from all the others? @Grok, is it true that Obama had more threats against his life thwarted by the secret service than any other president?
@KurtSchlichter@instapundit Being a bit of a blissful ignoramus abt anything coming out of Hollywood the last 15 yrs, I had no idea who made that speech or why as I read it and I agreed with every word. Apparently I was just thinking of different fascists and desecrations: the real ones, from islamo-commies
@bonchieredstate@instapundit Might include transportation, too. Europeans (indeed, most Americans East of the Mississippi, and many urban ones West of it) have absolutely no conception of how vast this country is, especially the normal distances Western Americans travel for garden variety purposes.
@infantrydort At least the French eventually learned the lesson while still in the fight. The Japanese got all the way to unconditional surrender still believing Yamato Damashii, Seishin, and Bushido (all nuances on Japanese fighting spirit) were sufficient to overcome superior combined arms.
@RobSchneider Acolytes of the Frankfurt School took control of the cultural institutions very deliberately for the express purpose (among others) of NOT being bound by intellectual consistency or honesty, so they can control the useful idiots who don't even see the hypocrisy. It's the plan.
@salingergregor@reddit_lies Why is everybody going off on this guy about drilling a hole in a 2 foot think stone wall? If he really lived in a place with 2 foot thick stone walls, he would not need AC to keep the place cool.
@SunWeatherMan Doesn't that just mean re-auctioning it, though? That'll cost money, certainly, but nowhere near the other monetized opportunity costs of the delay plus the cash cost to rebuild the pad
@BasilTheGreat@instapundit Basil's quote is potent but even where not so explicit racially selective prosecution of criminals is racist even toward every white person who doesn't experience crime as their culture and quality of life erode relentlessly into a third world hellscape.
@DrunkRepub@instapundit The "too stupid" assessment only makes sense in a single standard world. Top dem operatives are aware of the hypocrisy but they achieved a grip on cultural institutions in order to safely ignore it. Dem voters don't believe in having a single standard bc the other side is "evil."
