This is how you make education worthless....by handing diplomas out to anyone. You make the dollar worthless by handing it out to every illegal, NGO, and welfare recipient, every fake medical scam entity....This is where we are.
Madison Preparatory Academy in Baton Rouge, Louisiana has videos where graduates celebrate wildly after getting their diplomas
But here’s the thing, almost none of them should graduate
- 75% of graduates aren’t proficient in math
- 65% of them can’t read, and fail proficiency (this is 7 out of 10 students)
- Yet, despite this 95-98% of students graduate
These figures come from US Department of Education data
@BowTiedBroke My father in law has a business of making battery packs for the equipment. It's been a steady second business for him for 20 years. Those packs are so expensive.
@rising_serpent Or….simply siding with leftist ideology. You’d think it would be obvious to them they are supporting the people that want to harm them.
@BreannaMorello Imagine if she actually voted as a conservative judge more than she does now. The Marxists would be even more unhinged. But maybe this is why she tilts left most of the time....intimidation to keep her in line.
It's why I don't put meta products on my mobile phone. I have a spare old ass laptop that I use to access the apps so they don't get access to my personal data. I still get adds in my FB feed from companies I have visited on web or received emails from because they are looking at 2 different laptops coming from same IP. Sneaky punks.
I wondered how people were classified with PTSD never having been in combat. I know of someone who is on disability after being in the Army but he was never deployed. Claims PTSD and won't work a job. Has a daughter and just refuses to get a job while he asks for go fund me donations. Sad the daughter has to deal with that.
Aristotle’s insight about the middle class is not sentimental. It is structural. The middle class is the only group whose prosperity is directly tied to the prosperity of the whole, which makes it the only group with genuinely aligned incentives.
The poor are dependent. Not by moral failing but by position – their survival depends on transfers, on the state, on someone above them making decisions on their behalf. They vote for whoever promises more, which is rational given their situation. They cannot be the foundation of a republic because their interest is not in the republic’s success but in their own extraction from it.
The oligarchy is captured. Their wealth is large enough to seek advantages unavailable to others – regulatory protection, subsidies, privileged access, barriers to competition. They do not need the market to work fairly. They need it to work in their favor, which is a different thing entirely. The oligarch’s rational strategy is not to improve the system but to carve himself an exception within it.
The middle class has nowhere to hide. Too prosperous to depend on transfers, too broad and exposed to need special favors, their entire position rests on a society where contracts are enforced, courts function, markets are fair, schools work, streets are safe, and the currency holds its value. They cannot buy their way out of dysfunction the way the oligarchy can, and they have too much to lose to wait for redistribution the way the poor must. They need the whole thing to work – which makes them, structurally, the only class that wants it to.
This is why destroying the middle class is not just an economic event. It is a political event. When it shrinks, the ballast disappears and the ship tips – toward oligarchy above demanding favors, or toward dependency below demanding transfers, or toward both simultaneously, which is precisely where most Western democracies currently find themselves.
@RonDeSantis Capturing American institutions is one of the steps to deploying communism. If people read the 45 basic steps that have been documented for decades, their eyes 👀 would be wide open as most of the steps have been accomplished already
@Rasmussen_Poll@PeterBernegger@AAGDhillon Right up until a crooked fed judge decides a grand jury can’t have the contact info of state election employees that were likely involved in illegal election activities (Fulton county). The judges always provide cover for the Marxist criminals
This is why our law, American government under Republican majority is a fucking joke. People are actually allowed to get away with sedition and treason. When Marxists get in power, heads “roll”.
@ScottJenningsKY Thanks….Mitch McConnell’s best buddy ….glad you are thinking of the voters by providing legitimacy to a half dead politician who doesn’t vote for what his constituents want
