I've gone round and round this one already on this forum. Corporations serve some very valuable functions. Corporations can't vote, so they're not really "persons" under the law. They're just convenient containers of assets governed by bylaws and a board. They're a convenient scapegoat for a variety of complaints, but they're like many other tools: the abuse happens by the people involved.

+1 to that! I was just listening to Clay and Buck in the workshop and this subject was covered. Things are bad and getting worse.

YUP! And all those kids who are twisted now will be voting in the next few years if they can survive HS. Their educators got their education from a bunch of marxist/communist professors and we are witnessing the results but we can't undo what they have and still are doing. We have boys who are afraid and don't know if they want to become men and girls who are not even sure they want to be here.

i see what i expect from democrat run schools and teachers unions

you can make a case for it being a Defense issue
but that would only cover certain subjects to be studied
it would not be a strong case, IMHO

Where in the Constitution does it ever mention the federal government is in control of education and public schools? Asking for a friend.

The facts that I am about to share with you are likely to make you very angry.
Our system does not work, and millions upon millions of young people are having their lives ruined as a result. The following are 13 numbers that show how dramatically we have failed America’s children…
#1 One recent survey found that 40 percent of U.S. parents “worry their children struggle with anxiety or depression”.
#2 During the pandemic, suicide became the second leading cause of death for U.S. children between the ages of 10 and 14.
#3 Suicide is also the second leading cause of death for Americans between the ages of 15 and 24.
#4 According to a recent Pew Research Center poll, 46 percent of U.S. kids between the ages of 13 and 17 have experienced cyberbullying.
#5 40 percent of U.S. high school students “felt so sad or hopeless” in 2021 that “they were unable to do their regular activities”.
#6 According to the CDC, “more than 95% of children and adolescents in the U.S. spend much of their daily lives in school”.
#7 At 23 schools in Baltimore, not one single student is proficient in math.
#8 At 30 schools in Illinois, not one single student can read at grade level.
#9 At 53 schools in Illinois, not one single student can do math at grade level.
#10 According to the CDC, nearly 20 percent of all adolescent female students experienced sexual violence in 2021.
#11 According to the CDC, nearly 60 percent of all adolescent female students “experienced persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness” in 2021.
#12 According to the CDC, nearly 25 percent of all adolescent female students “made a suicide plan” in 2021.
#13 The proportion of adolescent female students that actually attempted suicide in 2021 was 60 percent higher than a decade ago.
There is nothing “normal” about these numbers.

Indeed -- and I would wager that TPTB realized that there would be considerable negative fallout / costs associated with the Govt Lockdowns and Dictates. Failure by Design.

all mute when the nukes start to fly

add in $200T+ of unfunded pension liability

I'm going to take the same stance that I took with Obamacare; rather than being a failure, it did EXACTLY what it was designed to do.

Same thing here. I'm not sure who the "we" is in that headline, but from an educational standpoint, the system is doing EXACTLY what they intend it to do. The less self-reliant people are, the worse they feel about themselves, the more they don't like the current system, the more likely they are to turn to the government to save them.

Lord Woodhouselee summarizes the issue very well. Another key issue strangling our rights is the absurd declaration that corporations are persons under the law.

Progressives hate children. They try to destroy them before they are even born through abortion. They try to cripple healthy marriages by encouraging the hookup culture. They try to indoctrinate the children in public education. They try to make them feel like being taken advantage of sexually is normal. Others they simply terrify and kill in order to harvest drugs.

Progressives have no love for children, because they don't even love themselves.

We had the best education system in the world when it was run by communities and concerned parents. It has degraded as control has shifted further and further from parents and local communities.

I would change #3 to simply exclude anyone who receives financial assistance from the government - including healthcare. Our problem lies in the number of moochers outnumbering the number of producers.

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage.”

Alexander Fraser Tytler

I learned to hate school (not just a particular teacher, but school in general), in the 5th grade. Some of the things done did seem to come from hate (sadism), I mean, self-contradiction in situations created by teachers.

I don't think that government should operate children's education. And I mean_government_, not just the Federal government. It don't think it is all right if the state government does it, either.

I think it would be best if the public schools were to close down and never open up again.
I want abolition of government-financed, government-operated schools.
Public education necessarily leads to government thought control. It's time we started a campaign specifically for its abolition

I was referring to young persons caring for their elderly relatives. Long Term Care facilities having trouble with staffing is a problem caused in great part by poor pay & exacerbated by inadequate facilities with poor air quality, lousy food and ownership focused on profits. LTC social programs are boring, unimaginative & repetitive. LTCs also are caught up in the Wuflu/clot shot insanity to the max.

With all due respect I sit on the governing board of an adult foster care facility. The young have zero interest in being care givers. Our staff are aging out.
Nursing homes have staffing problems that are well documented. Perhaps what you see is different. What I see tells me that we are in trouble.

Of course.

I recently heard Stefan Molyneoux say something like....The liberals say "we put the children first" then run up national debt over $31T. You can't have it both ways. We obviously do not value our children. In schools I think we actually hate them.

Thank you. We would have only qualified in two of the three catagories.

Eligilbility would be available for the persons you describe based on property or income taxes paid during their younger years.

May I add that some of us elderly folks might not qualify under those rules. We do pay property taxes, but I know a few oldsters who don't have any earned income, just SS and pension, who don't pay income tax and live in assisted living, so no property taxes.

When social security is no longer available we shall see.
At present, many of the young have not accepted any responsibility and are living
on the wealth that their parents and grandparents created through hard, honest, productive work.
imo, many will perish clinging to their degrees in women's studies and african studies
that give them no useful abilities and will make them entirely dependent on the state
when the wealth has been squandered to support the idle.
