    It was founded in 1980. It’s not exactly an ancient institution, the power would go back to the states.

      We’ve all seen how red states run their education departments even when there are guidelines they have to follow. They just funnel all the public tax dollars into private schools and let the plebs wallow in idiocy.

        Have no idea how accurate that comment is, but could very well be true. If DOGE does a good job (and I hope it will) - it shouldn’t only piss off the left wing bureaucrats.

          They’re not. Everything DOGE is doing has been illegal. And they’re just removing money that provides services going to US so that Elon can give himself $400million contracts for his shitty truck that falls apart.

          He’s manipulating you. Stop falling for it.

            Yeah. Richest man in the world is spending all this time to gather a few more millions. You’re delusional. I follow the guy on X and it is 🍿 time every day. He is very responsive there and also responses to critique - great time to be alive 😁

              A few more millions? You think that contact is the end of it? That artificially pumps up the value of his company even more, as investors will assume he’ll be able to continue giving himself lucrative contacts for his shit products.

              But you’re right that’s all icing.

              What he really wants is to gut all the agencies that make the regulations he doesn’t want to follow. You know how much it costs him having to have a safe workspace for his employees. How much not dumping waste in the nearest steam costs him as he’s forced to properly dispose of it. All those protections that hinder his ability to sexually harass his employees? Try to think. Seriously

      And no consistency means a unreliable workforce.

      My company struggles with hiring people because the employment pool in the southern states can’t do math. Like no joking they had to local training on fractions so they can do their jobs. That’s embarrassing as a country.

        I honestly really doubt that. Yeah, there’s dumb ssses, sure, there’s people who don’t understand fractions, absolutely, stupid people exist, but to the extent that you have a hard time finding someone who can? No, I don’t believe you.

          You’re literally arguing that making those people who don’t understand those things more common won’t be bad because you can still find some who aren’t morons. As if failing to educate more people won’t be a bad thing in and out itself.

          More incompetent people means less competent ones. More incompetent people means more stress on welfare programs, lower average wages (which puts stress on the stability of your social security).

          At least try to think one or two steps through the consequences of your own stances…

              Yes, Republicans have been attacking education for decades. They’re creating a class system, and you’re not in the good one.
