    Didn’t they realize that there’s million of people willing to fact check every lies they said?

      Yes, but they gaslit their base into thinking fact-checking is propaganda

    $64K isn’t really much these days.

      And that’s just average. Chances are teachers are making anywhere between 40-100K in GA with the majority probably below 64

      I remember when teachers were complaining about making 24k a year in the last decade. (I’m just saying, not being contrarian)

      $64k is a great salary in my area of PA. I’m not familiar with GA but I imagine it’s the same. To put this into comparison, the average household income in GA is $75k and most households are two earners, so yeah, seems pretty good.

        Now do it with average households with college degrees, since that’s a more reasonable comparison.

        Just because something is average doesn’t mean it’s good.

        If the average grade of a class is fifty… that doesn’t mean it’s a good grade. It just means a majority of the class is failing.

            Which part? Can you explain your reasoning in a way that’s not just “nuh-uh”?

            As I understand it, an average is when you add together several quantities and then divide that total by the number of quantities. How does this in any way affect actual living wage (or grades, in my given example)?

              Just knowing that the average is 50 does not in any way tell you the grades of the majority of the class. Most of the kids could be passing while a few abysmal performers bring the average down.

                That’s what you take issue with? That the analogy isn’t completely perfect? Do you get the general idea of what I’m saying, or does that slight inconsistency complete negate the entire argument?

                The point is that an average isn’t indicative of overall health… it’s just a value representing the average income. It makes no bearing on actual economic health without comparing it to other factors.

        I mean it’s definitely nice but after pensions and taxes and everything else it’s probably like an extra $400 a month. Not exactly world shattering but definitely nice.

          There are a shit ton of people in this country living on so little that an extra $400 per month would be huge for them.

          There’s a percentage of those who would consider an extra $400 per month life changing money. If you were making minimum wage this would be the equivalent of working an extra 25 hours per week. Math is pre-tax.

        Republicans did cut the bill’s funding in half, in addition to allocating much of it to other causes.

          President Biden deserves way more credit for getting what he’s done this term despite the GOP’s best efforts to hamstring it in every possible way.

            Biden in the US and Trudeau in Canada both deserve a lot more credit than they get, but the mood in western nations is pretty sour.
