  • Your very own OP said (and I'm on mobile with a shit app so I can't copy and paste, so I'm quoting from memory, but y'all can look up there for the actual words): "I'm a public education advocate from MI and all (emphasis mine) admin make 6 figures.

    That part. That's a lie. You're now moving the goalposts and I'm calling you on your bullshit.

    I'm not going to do myself as I've taken pains to remain anonymous after being doxxed and harassed on that other shit platform. Suffice it to say that I don't live in one of the most affluent school districts in Michigan (ahem; Rockford and what other ISD's around GR?). I live among the poorest.

    I'm not disagreeing on gym teachers not knowing the basics of other subjects, but you keep going on your gish gallop.

  • While I agree with the assessment of zero tolerance policies, there isn't a soul in our entire school district that is making 6 figures. Most of the faculty in our district are barely scraping by because the voters believe this collective delusion that schools have more money than god and are full of wasteful spending. That is a lie promulgated by conservatives to defund schools.

    Stop feeding that lie.

  • The current iteration of the GOP in the senate and congress resembles that of a drying jellyfish on a beach: spineless and worthless (no disrespect to actual dying jellyfish on the beach, who serve admirably in the food chain) . They will do whatever the fuck their god emperor tells them to do.

    They confirmed RFK Jr. for fuck's sake.

  • For what it's worth, my congress cretin is loving polishing trump's asshole and ceding away congressional oversight to the executive branch. At a town hall lady week, he said that the DOGE department was always DOGE, they just changed the acronym (wat?!) and it was always under the executive branch, not an independent federal agency.

  • It's the same across all the Midwest - Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, the Dakotas... I don't even think the Dakotas were states during the Civil War, but there's the loser-traitor flag all over across the upper Midwest.

  • I've thought for a while that road patrol was the laziest form of policing. This is compounded with the supreme court codifying that cops don't have to know the laws they are enforcing and thereby allowed to make up probable cause. Combine that with the "us vs. them" mentality that is both heavily promoted in training, and is the character trait drawn to police work, and it's like a perfect storm of shitty outcomes.

    I like the idea of getting rid of traffic cops and actually doing real police work. They'd have to hire smart people though.
