Fuck that. Public education has utterly failed. We pay more and more into a system while literacy rates and basic math competency decline.

The purpose of a system is what it does. What the current public education system does is provide adult-daycare for a bunch of incompetent bureaucrats and enable parents to not pay attention to their kids for 8-10 hours a day so they can be a better tax farm.

Both of those companies deserve a fate worse than death. . . being owned by The Zuck.

When the whole system collapses under its own weight and there isn't public funding for anything anymore, not before.

Nobody involved in government or the educational system has any incentive whatsoever to do anything but ensure that the money keeps flowing and at faster rates.

Recessions have been made illegal. Doesn't matter who is running the show, their incentive is always to prop up the markets in any way possible so they can point to those utterly meaningless numbers and claim the economy is great. Its been that way our whole lives, its just that as real conditions continue to worsen, the disconnect gets more and more obvious.

He thinks the market is going to shit the bed and sooner rather than later. Rather than risk his and his clients money on short bets and try to time it, since metrics he'd normally use to figure such things out don't seem to be matching up with reality, he's cashing out for now. Presumably he'll be back in once he thinks the market finds a new support level.

And the fact that they don't meet anything resembling US safety standards.

And here I thought the problem with chinese EVs was explosions rather than implosions.

Oh, nobody? Then it's not a war.

Cash for clunkers destroyed that for another couple of decades.

The progressive worldview has been a disaster for humanity.

Cool. I feel the same way about unions.

If you want to turn people on to critical thinking, the way to do that is certainly not to outsource that thinking to the government.

The CCP is certainly not interested in that. They simply want to maintain the rule of their party.

Yep. You're evil.

You'd think that using the same terminology for your government schemes as ones that killed hundreds of millions of people would be a bad bit of marketing, but I guess you can get away with a lot when all your detractors are dead.
