My brother is deep in student loan debt. I skipped college because I couldn't afford to work and go to school.
I keep a collection of screws because they're expensive otherwise.
I can barely keep the lights on as a software dev.
Sure, I eat better than someone from halfway around the world. But likewise we're both being taken advantage of by people of higher social and economic status and deprived of basic needs. We all desire an end to the hierarchy of abuse regardless of where on the totem of who-has-it-worse we are. Now go eat your rice, there are starving kids in Kentucky.
I'll wager if you asked most people what they think "rich" is, the number they pick would not include the vast majority of people posting here on good ol' orange website.
Class war is bad for everyone, yes, but it's a bit silly to generalize and pretend every tech worker is rich just because they pull down high five or low six figures. Doing well, certainly. Not millionaires.
I don’t have a firm opinion one way or another about that idea that a “great teacher can teach any subject” but it does bring to my mind the other idea that teachers are increasingly becoming “learning coaches” who aren’t only transferring knowledge into the students, but who are rather encouraging them to develop self-awareness about their own learning.
But then where hasn’t been? When I was born we were poorer than all of France, Japan, and Italy on a per capita basis and now we are not. We have broadly kept pace with US growth since the end of world war 2. We have failed to figure out strategies to close the gap with the US by growing faster but we are doing no worse.
I’m sorry but this is the best way to objectively measure anything. Otherwise you are just holding up your vibes to refute my numbers which is completely unscientific.
Ah. This is it, folks. You're a liar and you project your lies. Incapable of realising how people have lived shit in history.
Go google "disappeared people in military dictatorships" and maybe, just maybe, you'll learn something about authoritians and how they dealt with "subversives".
Not everyone here lives in the US.
Your account is 17 hours old and you want to find the "enemy within". Aren't you the enemy within?
Demosntate you're not a foreign actor, according to your own rules, post your full name and address. Or maybe that's a stupid thing to do and anonymity is valuable?
I actually am a foreign actor (effectively like your own president). I'm British.
Jones is a rabble rouser, as is most of the "right" in the US. You'd do well to learn how to spot them, and like your president, he's only interested with stuffing his pockets with money.
Enjoy your fascism - comes with a free side of disappearing people. I'm sure you'll be Pinchoeted in no time at all based on your narrative once it's all locked in.
You mean like hoarding wealth?
