  Yeah, but it’s something that wasn’t there before so it matters. Current and past gens have fucked it ALL up so these kids are part of something positive. And future lies with them.

  This is truth. Destruction of public education by conservatives, neoliberals and privateers fits nicely with destruction of workers and unions. It’s control of your population, which is funneled through a view of them as simply future workers for the owner class. I dont know why u would want to be a teacher in a country that just doesn’t give a shit. UK is facing similar.

  And if u think majority of those not-for-profit charter aren’t founded by people in it for the money, ive got a bridge and can give u a good price… forbes.com/…/report-how-a-non-profit-charter-scho…

  Its like many wealthy people who seek and do get rich off tax payer money, like elon did with tesla.

  This was May 2023. US skips UN Nakba event marking dispossession of Palestinians after Israeli campaign

  (CNN) The United States and Western nations including the United Kingdom and Germany on Monday skipped an event at the United Nations marking the 75th anniversary of the dispossession of Palestinians after Israel called for a boycott.

  The event, the first of its kind to be held by the UN, commemorated the Nakba or “catastrophe” – when roughly 700,000 Palestinians fled or were expelled from their homes in what is now Israel. The commemoration was boycotted by Israeli officials, who also urged diplomats of other nations not to participate.

  On Sunday, Israel’s ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan, sent a letter to other UN ambassadors “deeply urging” them not to take part in what he called a “shameful Nakba event,” according to a copy of the letter obtained by CNN. Erdan said “Such events only serve to demonize Israel and further push away any chance for reconciliation.”

  Yes, but are we to believe the IDF is angelic? Considering the dehumanization of Palestinians seems to be so commonplace. If you have to declare you are the most humane, something is amiss. ‘We’re Rolling Out Nakba 2023,’ Israeli Minister Says on Northern Gaza Strip Evacuation

  The Nakba (Arabic: النكبة an-Nakbah, lit. ‘The Catastrophe’) was the ethnic cleansing[2] of Palestinians in Mandatory Palestine during the 1948 Palestine war through their violent displacement and dispossession of land, property, and belongings, along with the destruction of their society, culture, identity, political rights, and national aspirations.[3] The term is also used to describe the ongoing persecution and displacement of Palestinians by Israel.[4] As a whole, it covers the shattering of Palestinian society and the long-running rejection of the right of return for Palestinian refugees and their descendants.

  When a military brands itself “the most humane” military like the IDF has. That already should be a clue as to the marketing and propaganda they’ve built up for decades.

  This is maddening to look at. Motion to install wall railing and leave that light on at all times.

  Finally, I remember the Ajit Pai era when the FCC was auditioning for lucrative future revolving door private gigs. Rather than looking out for consumers.

  I get the feeling you cheerlead for big business and corporations over working people and unions.

  Troll alert.

  Reaganomics + neoliberalism + Greenspan libertarianism Unleash freedom for markets, money and corporations, democracy, human rights, ethics and morals be damned! Exorbitant growth in the pocketbooks of the few, big crumbs for those in charge, govts and politicians. Sinema quickly learned this.

  A friends mom was snowboarding with her grandkids the year before covid. His sister, a pharmacist btw, warned their mom off the vaccine. She caught covid and died.

  Tens, no likely hundreds of thousands of people likely died due to misinformation and fear mongering.

  Now measles might be making a comeback as well.
