We're undergoing a paradigm shift away from globalism. Nationalism is the short-term beneficiary, but LOCALism is the ultimate beneficiary. People are figuring out (again) that the "anointed nobility" aren't in touch with everyday life, let alone competent to direct all its activities
Remote learning got a huge boost. Smart institutions will foster that shift. Moribund institutions will resist that shift. Brick-and-mortar ain't goin' away, but it's clearly declining. I've been saying for years that it's really dumb to make your kid go to school and sit in a classroom with everybody their chronological age, getting a one-size-fits-all lesson, live, from a teacher who's aiming at the stupidest kid in the room, to get that kid a 'C' while the gifted kids are held back by the slowest student.
There's a lot of resistance to the shift in education, because the institutions AND the students 'brought up' in that institutional framework think that the way they've always done it is the best way. And teachers' egos drive a lot of it. They're SURE their students can't learn without their WONDERFUL teacher watering everything down and holding their hand on everything. But in my opinion, institutional definition of "Student Success" is to ensure that more students pass, whether they actually have mastered the content or not.
They'll never admit that, but it's exactly what they're pushing for, and it just leads to need for MORE hand-holding, and - of course - more MONEY, because "We need to remediate these learning deficits, and allow for 'differences in race, ethnicity, gender, and economic background.'" Bullshit. We need to put students in the classes they NEED, and require mastery before promoting them to the NEXT class they need.
USA's public-education 'learning products' are inferior. Run by accountants with spreadsheets and SJWs with oppression hierarchies tattooed on their foreheads, instead of the teachers and students.
You want boys to start excelling in STEM, like they used to? Give them an online learning management system (LMS, like Pearson MyLab and Mastering or Cengage WebAssign), and cut off their video games until they get their homework done! The cool thing is that it would motivate those boys to get it done, AND it would present the knowledge they NEED, exactly when they need it, i.e., instant, on-demand help. Instead, they're trying to perfect an outmoded content-delivery system, devised for a time where there might be only ONE person in the WHOLE TOWN who actually owns a book! Now, EVERYbody has the INTERNET!

I can see how it looks bad on video and how the cops would frown on it, but out there in the street, with a large crowd that's only going to grow, with you standing there and 3 insane women who just got knocked on their asses... Hanging around can get you killed. I totally don't blame him for scootin'. I know how those situations can get out of hand and end VERY badly for a big, strong guy, who knows he's within his rights, and does the right thing, only to be pummeled by the crowd that's just gonna grow, and likely be very hostile to the man in the situation.
And he turned himself in, right away, pretty much, didn't he? It's news because we're starting to see more and more of these toxic women, who think they can talk shit, get up in your face, and hit you or spit on you, without consequences, because they have a Woman Card. People need to be reminded that it's a LADY'S Card, and you only see gentlemen when there are Ladies about. Then the power of the feminine is absolute. But when you go masculine, you're sayin' Tits Don't Matter, and you take what you get AFAIC.

I'm torn on AOC, because her ignorance is something of a shield against the Swamp. She was OFFENDED by the fact that "Freshman Congress Orientation" was wall-to-wall lobbyists. She doesn't know how that game is played, which is ignorant, but the game, itself, is crooked as hell, and she was right to call them out.
Ilhan Omar got it all wrong on the facts as to when CAIR was created (She said after 9/11, when it was created in 1994). But she NAILED it when she called out the Patriot Act for its police-state features, which you just don't hear "old hands" in Congress talking about.
As more or less of a crusty old bastard, who believes in old-fashioned tolerance and basic individual rights, I'm pretty eclectic about things. When these clowns get something right, I try to see past my apparent tribe and not throw out the baby with the bathwater. Sometimes it's the Republicans acting all tribal and regressive. More often, of late, it's been the Democrats, and the degree to which they've regressed is far beyond anything the Republicans appear to be doing.
Most of the things I disagree with are the things there's bipartisan support for. The Republicans LOVE Free Stuff just as much as Democrats, these days. The Democrats like the arms industry as much as any war-hawk Republican.
