My right wing college prof was ecstatic about this. Wanted bibles in schools and paddles for spanking too.
Kinda weird for a teacher to want to be spanked but I’m not gonna yuck his yum
Eeewwwhh leave the sex stuff at home please. Sir this is a wendys
Sir, this is a Weimar.
(Pronunciation makes the meme not work as well as it should.)
yeah because the last thing America needs is an education
The cons in that sub believe the department should be gone as it steals money and indoctrinates kids. They say test scores haven’t gone up so what’s the point.
They also say America went to the moon in 69 and the doe was invented in the 70s. Therefore it’s not needed.
“They also say America went to the moon in 69 and the doe was invented in the 70s. Therefore it’s not needed.”
Maybe if they were actually educated, they’d realize an anecdote aint worth shit 🤷♀️
For what’s worth, DoE was established in 1979.
A safe, healthy, and broadly educated population is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative ideologies.
Fuck you, Musk. The Department of Education is approved and funded by Congress who we voted for! You’re an unelected piece of shit Nazi fighting against literal knowledge.
Why burn a book when you can burn down the entire library?
I walk past the rubble that used to be a library only bring to mind cemetery now
The dumbass thinks getting a college degree means you are already failing or something.
He’s suuuuuuch a dipshit, but also a complete asshole.
It’s simpler. They know that those with college degrees usually vote with the liberal bias that reality has.
These people are either stupid or evil. Or both. And so we have to oppose them. Does it really matter which it is?
Yes, it matters, because underestimating them because we think they’re stupid instead of evil is a recipe for disaster.
But it kind of implies the prerequisite of understanding or empathizing with them. But those of us who don’t feel a compulsive need to consume and burn everything will never understand them. Not truly…
You don’t have to be a car to understand how it works and to avoid the damage it can potentially cause if you let it run uncontrolled.
Once all of this damage is done there will be people who wonder why they can never get ahead in life. Why so many roads towards wealth have been cut off from them.
The days from the 80s to today, especially this recent event, are what lead to it. But sadly they’ll be so uneducated that even this they will not understand.
Like being in a prison whose walls you cannot see and whose bars you cannot feel. There is no greater wealth than education, no greater poverty than ignorance.
Damn am I high af or is that last line just summing things up so beautifully…
I am glad to finally see people on social media actually pointing out how our education system has been systematically under attack for decades to make a more malleable gullible voter base and preparing future voters with propaganda early
Por que no los dos?
Once all of this damage is done there will be people who wonder why they can never get ahead in life. Why so many roads towards wealth have been cut off from them.
That day has been here since the mid 2000s. More than half the country lives paycheck to paycheck with less than 1k saved, and will be stuck there working until they die.
These same people will vote for qons even harder, assuming we even have free and fair elections. Why? I’m sure it will be for very stupid reasons, like seeing a trans women in sports somewhere, even if it’s not even in this country. Or because they thought Hollywood “talked down to them” or whatever the fuck.
They might be forced to move out of their trailer and take up “urban camping”. They and their kids may have no food, no clean water, and no health care, but by Zeus, they’ll be ahead of those Blas and those trans and those Mexicans!
Ngl, this post kind of saddened me. I don’t want to believe it, but the possibility of what you’re saying being true is bleak to me.
It’s going to be worse than that. AI may take your job, automation will dramatically advance, and you will be left with little more than the virtual realities created by some corporation to fill your day with. Ready Player 1 may have the most realistic future.
It started in the 70s, but yeah.
Goosebumps man… what a comment.
Just wow.
Didn’t he come here on a student visa?
What an ungrateful bastard
The man is backing a man who vows to end electric cars and increase our reliance on fossil fuels.
The man sells electric cars.
This man obviously doesn’t have his head screwed on straight.
Hasn’t been selling that many cars lately.
He did sell electric cars.
Now he sells space access and likely an AI built on all US government records soon.
Doesn’t matter. He has his fingers in the treasury. He has all the money, what good are silly businesses to him now?
He creates shareholder value. That’s all that publically trades companies do. It’s their goal.
Everything else is just ways they attempt to do that, and someone like Elon does it with hype, since the agencies that are supposed to prevent such nonsense abandoned their responsibilities a long time ago.
Tesla stocks are now a ponzi scheme. At some point, someone’ll be left holding the bag.
TSLA is just a front for securities fraud.
In all liklihood, this is a ploy to sell and rebuy tesla stocks to become the world’s first trillionaire faster than the other robber barons who have achieved the green light from America’s fascist movement.

Don’t insult Elmo. Elon Musk would get his ass kicked off Sesame Street
Best believe that Elmo would cut a bitch if he ever got to Sesame Street.
Well, if the one who holds my loans doesn’t exist, I suppose I can just not pay them.
Oh, they’ll be sure to sell off the loans to the highest bidder before finishing the job. Maybe Wells Fargo will buy them. Or maybe United Healthcare will diversify…
I thought they already did?
Data breaches are an investment?
No I mean student loans are sold as investment bundles.
Joe Biden canceled student debt by running for president again and getting Trump reelected so the department of education could be destroyed. /s
No, they will make sure you pay
I don’t understand why anyone would pay anything government related in the US at this point…
Seriously. I’m looking at my tax forms partially completed and I’m thinking to myself why am I doing this?
Sadly, because the tax forms are mostly to get money back. They don’t rely on you doing the paperwork right once a year to get what they want. That’s why the money is taken out of your paycheck, and most people need to ask for the excess they took to be returned to them.
Heavily considering it. If the union is just meant to fuck us now why would I fund it?
File for an extension?

At what point is violence the correct response?
1981, but better late than never
All that guy wanted was to fuck Jodie Foster. Killing Reagan was his plan to do that. In the end, he did not kill Reagan, and did not fuck Jodie Foster.
He also didn’t miss. If they had gotten Reagan to the hospital a minute later, he probably would have bled out. Doubt Jodie would have fucked him either way.
But at least Reagan got to fuck us.
John Hinckley has a folk album on Spotify it’s mad decent

A few years ago
NOW
Comme on, Democrats, run someone in every fuckin district of every fuckin state and just run excerpts of this fucker on repeat, s maybe victory in the house and Senate in two years - is there still are elections by then - will be the only way these shitstains might be stopped
maybe victory in the house and Senate in two years - is there still are elections by then - will be the only way these shitstains might be stopped
So they can do whatever they want for 2 years and nobody will stop them.
But then they might anger rich people:(
Great so now they can privatize student loans. I was going to go back to school at age 40 and get my bachelors degree
I hope this is /s
The interest rate on those private loans are going to be much higher and more difficult to obtain than the government backed ones
Exactly I wonder how much higher they’ll be and if they will basically make college only affordable for those who are super rich and needs loans and I’m sure there will be a sharp decline in college admissions which is what the super rich want. Keep the poor and middle class uneducated and fighting with each other
The whole idea here is to rapidly accelerate the decline of the US so the techbros can take over and create the own self described utopia where poor people live in debtor prisons and the rich are treated like gods
And if it is private you can file for bankruptcy, right? Right?
In Canada they closed that loophole in the 90’s
Funny, because their website is still up and looks normal.
Maybe he means “won’t exist for much longer”? But if that’s the case then describing it as “no longer exists” shows either a poor grasp of language or a deeply flawed understanding of the past, present, and future.
His brain is probably fucked from the amount of ketamine he has used. When rich bastards like musk use drugs its never a normal amount of too much its usually a how the fuck are you still alive amount.
He should use more. Parts of his brain are still encouraging him to move around and do harmful things. He needs to be more comatose.
I wish he would add pervitin to his cocktail of drugs so that at the very least he would be time period accurate to his Nazi beliefs. I kinda doubt the Nazis would approve of horse tranquilizer, they wanted meth.
Throw in some fetty for good measure.
The department of education do have a lot to answer for. If Americans were properly educated and able to parse opinions and bullshit out of Fox News articles Trump and Musk wouldn’t be running the country in the first place.
The trap of observing that Americans are poorly educated and poorly informed generally? Well I am sorry
Congrats, you fell into the trap.
GOP once again
They’ve been doing everything they can to degrade the department of education for 40 years.
Something George Carlin kept warning us about for nearly his entire life and now it’s here
