My point was that if you compare us to any country, we come out looking like morons. My question is if more Americans were aware of how we compared to the rest of developed countries, would it make a difference? Would we start doing what they're doing (90%+ vaccination rate)? I'm guessing not considering we don't apply that logic to any other human endeavor we fall short on.
I'm actually interested in what their sincere expectations were and how Joe Biden could have done to meet those expectations, but I know better than to ask an earnest question. I appreciate your attempt to engage. Maybe it was a stupid thing for Biden to say, but I think he honestly thought Americans would jump on board with vaccinations. Oh well, at least the trolls are happy.
The bolded people don't pay attention to Twitter and they definitely don't pay attention to the people reporting what's on Twitter. He knows he can say what he wants on Twitter without repercussion. He's an awful excuse for human being.
Crazy thing is, most of these parents are perfectly happy with their kids' schools and teachers. It's just like with politicians... "My guy is fine, I'll keep voting for him. Your guy is the problem. That's who needs to change." Meanwhile all the bitching and 'solutions' are making their kids' schools worse.
My SS card doesn't have a picture on it. How would a SS card actually prevent voter fraud if it didn't have a picture? I mean, that's what's it's all for, preventing voter fraud.The huge problem that is voter fraud.
I'm just a lowly teacher, and I don't have to wade through a tenth of the bullshit these people deal with, but if you don't think this sentiment isn't tricking down, you are in for a very rude awakening. Even if teachers aren't getting the constant emails and phone calls, seeing the politics play out at school board meetings and reading about every political attack aimed at "battling indoctrination" has become a beatdown. Good teachers are walking away in the middle of the year. People have decided to use public education to grandstand for stupidity, and your kids' educations are already suffering because of it.
I just don't think Americans are even aware of where we fall compared to the countries we consider our contemporaries. Then again, maybe they are fully aware. One lesson the last 2 years have taught me is that Americans can not care better than any other country in the world.
I'm watching the opening ceremonies so I decided to see how other countries were faring versus COVID. It looks like they're all doing better than we are... by a lot. We had 3,000 people die today. Brazil had 1,000. Do you think it would change anything if they flashed those numbers as each nation entered the stadium? Probably not.
That's only because the other black man in the movie died in particularly spectacular fashion. LL Cool J's survival depended on Samuel Jackson's sacrifice. Shoulders of giants an all.
I have the piece of shit on ignore, but when he's quoted I can't escape it. This exchange caught my attention. Teaching the big picture acts of racism in America's past (slavery, segregation, and the response to the Civil Rights Movement) aren't proof that we've overcome racism. The fact that we aren't teaching the acts that precipitated from those acts (racist G.I. Bill implementation, housing loan discrimination, all the way down to gerrymandering and voting restrictions) are proof that we still have work to do. CRT tries to address it. I wonder why some try to vilify it. Sorry for quoting you Captainant. You just quoted the dipshit.
