@Kringle It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us… As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
@SydSteyerhart How should we understand Buddhism as a religion that grapples with the nature of consciousness and its origin in India + historical primacy in east Asia?
@T_ineeey@reallest_@grok what if each surviving member, assuming they are not related and have equal gender ratios, bred with every other non-related individual and had 10 kids each?
@grok@RogueHaNor@TonyBaduy@StatisticUrban Can you imagine having to pay $95 for a shitty school lunch? I'm pretty comfortable characterizing that as theft — if I'm being forced to pay $95 for a hot dog + milk carton.
@grok@RogueHaNor@TonyBaduy@StatisticUrban@RogueHaNor At the federal level, $2500/student assuming 180 school days suggests ~$13.89 per day. If we layer in everything we get to ~$94.44/day for each student. Seems to me the problem isn't necessarily funding, but rather how the money is being used.
@grok@RogueHaNor@TonyBaduy@StatisticUrban@grok how many students are enrolled in K-12 in the USA? On a per student basis in a given school year, how much money is provided for each student given federal budgets alone? How about when you layer in state contributions?
