    The cons in that sub believe the department should be gone as it steals money and indoctrinates kids. They say test scores haven’t gone up so what’s the point.

    They also say America went to the moon in 69 and the doe was invented in the 70s. Therefore it’s not needed.

      Maybe if they were actually educated, they’d realize an anecdote aint worth shit 🤷‍♀️

    Once all of this damage is done there will be people who wonder why they can never get ahead in life. Why so many roads towards wealth have been cut off from them.

    The days from the 80s to today, especially this recent event, are what lead to it. But sadly they’ll be so uneducated that even this they will not understand.

    Like being in a prison whose walls you cannot see and whose bars you cannot feel. There is no greater wealth than education, no greater poverty than ignorance.

      Damn am I high af or is that last line just summing things up so beautifully…

      I am glad to finally see people on social media actually pointing out how our education system has been systematically under attack for decades to make a more malleable gullible voter base and preparing future voters with propaganda early

      That day has been here since the mid 2000s. More than half the country lives paycheck to paycheck with less than 1k saved, and will be stuck there working until they die.

      These same people will vote for qons even harder, assuming we even have free and fair elections. Why? I’m sure it will be for very stupid reasons, like seeing a trans women in sports somewhere, even if it’s not even in this country. Or because they thought Hollywood “talked down to them” or whatever the fuck.

      They might be forced to move out of their trailer and take up “urban camping”. They and their kids may have no food, no clean water, and no health care, but by Zeus, they’ll be ahead of those Blas and those trans and those Mexicans!

      It’s going to be worse than that. AI may take your job, automation will dramatically advance, and you will be left with little more than the virtual realities created by some corporation to fill your day with. Ready Player 1 may have the most realistic future.

      The man is backing a man who vows to end electric cars and increase our reliance on fossil fuels.

      The man sells electric cars.

      This man obviously doesn’t have his head screwed on straight.

        He creates shareholder value. That’s all that publically trades companies do. It’s their goal.

        Everything else is just ways they attempt to do that, and someone like Elon does it with hype, since the agencies that are supposed to prevent such nonsense abandoned their responsibilities a long time ago.

        Tesla stocks are now a ponzi scheme. At some point, someone’ll be left holding the bag.

        In all liklihood, this is a ploy to sell and rebuy tesla stocks to become the world’s first trillionaire faster than the other robber barons who have achieved the green light from America’s fascist movement.

      The interest rate on those private loans are going to be much higher and more difficult to obtain than the government backed ones

        Exactly I wonder how much higher they’ll be and if they will basically make college only affordable for those who are super rich and needs loans and I’m sure there will be a sharp decline in college admissions which is what the super rich want. Keep the poor and middle class uneducated and fighting with each other

    Funny, because their website is still up and looks normal.

    Maybe he means “won’t exist for much longer”? But if that’s the case then describing it as “no longer exists” shows either a poor grasp of language or a deeply flawed understanding of the past, present, and future.

      His brain is probably fucked from the amount of ketamine he has used. When rich bastards like musk use drugs its never a normal amount of too much its usually a how the fuck are you still alive amount.

          I wish he would add pervitin to his cocktail of drugs so that at the very least he would be time period accurate to his Nazi beliefs. I kinda doubt the Nazis would approve of horse tranquilizer, they wanted meth.

    The department of education do have a lot to answer for. If Americans were properly educated and able to parse opinions and bullshit out of Fox News articles Trump and Musk wouldn’t be running the country in the first place.
