Turns out fatter teachers aren't better teachers, just fatter.WestlinnDuck said:Like Minnesota, both Washington and Oregon have passed huge spending increases for public education and achieved the same result - negative education. Team Dazzler is all in on letting the teacher unions run our "education" policy which puts money for teachers and educators way ahead of actually educating our kids. When priorities are indoctrination, grooming, masking, closing schools and where class room discipline is sacrificed for CRT goals you are going to get students who can't read, can't write, can't do numbers and sh*t are intellectually incurious and think the world owes them a living.

AMERICA’S PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE TERRIBLE
America’s public schools are almost unbelievably bad, to a degree that poses an existential threat to the republic. That’s the bad news. The good news is that most Americans are figuring it out. Rasmussen finds that a 36% plurality say that our public schools are poor. That is a remarkable finding. A sadly misinformed 9% think our schools are excellent. But that disproportion is revealing. The teachers’ unions aren’t fooling many people anymore.
Minnesota exemplifies the awful performance of our schools as well as any state; perhaps better than most, since at one time Minnesota’s schools had the reputation of being above average. Now they are terrible: 64% of Minnesota’s 11th graders can’t do math at grade level. Nevertheless, they are all going to graduate. Good luck competing with Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Indian, German, and other kids from across the world.
The latest test scores have come out in our state, and my colleague Catrin Wigfall explains at AmericanExperiment.org: “Majority of Minnesota students aren’t meeting reading and math standards.”
As measured by the 2023 Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCAs), 50.3 percent of tested students do not meet grade-level reading standards, and 54.7 percent do not meet grade-level math standards.
It is a landmark of sorts: a majority of K-12 kids in Minnesota can’t either read or do math at grade level. Why is that? Is it because of a shortage of resources?
Just kidding. Minnesota, like the rest of America, has conducted a decades-long experiment, spending more and more money on public schools and hoping to get better results. That approach has been a dismal failure. Catrin prepared this chart, which tells the whole story. Spending per pupil goes relentlessly upward, while those pupils’ performance declines:
I started to write that there is no correlation between per pupil spending and performance, but that is incorrect: there is a correlation, but it is negative. The more we spend, the worse our students perform. These data are specific to Minnesota, but I am pretty sure you would see the same pattern across the country. -
Bidenomics, it's what's for dinner. Crony capitalism at it's finest. Just don't call the US the world's welfare magnet.

Average basket prices are up 23% percent since 2019. Yeah, people having more money for food will drive up demand, but we're a country that still makes way more food than we need, so what gives? Maybe we should realize letting a handful of global monopolies control our food system is a bad idea. What this country needs isn't Trump or Biden or whoever the fuck else is running for President. We need another Teddy Roosevelt to bring these fuckers to heel.WestlinnDuck said:Bidenomics, it's what's for dinner. Crony capitalism at it's finest.

What gives is inflation and regulation. Agriculture is dependent on just a few key inputs, two of which are energy costs (fuel) and fertilizer (also dependent on natural gas). Artificially jack up the price on these along with transportation costs and voila - big price increase. Nothing much has changed from 2019 as far as competition goes.TXDawg said:

Agreed that it’s basically just the inputs that have changed, not the market share since 2019.WestlinnDuck said:

But on the market share side, the same people that bitch about lack of competition on food also support increased regulation on production. More regulation increases consolidation in every industry. -

If you don't vote for a dem black you ain't black and you are a racist. Apparently telling the truth is also racist.

Over and over again, Harris has made a mockery of the English Language. Her public approval as VP is the lowest in recorded poll-taking. She can’t keep staff because people who work for her would rather work in a Chinese sweatshop than work for her. Democrats know Harris is a dimwitted, dismal failure, but Harris has her champions. Jemele Hill, the former reader of a teleprompter on ESPN, is always good for an awful take.

So far, the internet is forever. Remember when the dems and the MSM wanted to invoke the 25th amendment when Trump drank a glass of water with two hands?
