 @Insertia_Nameia no it's about corporate greed. Read my comment.

@cougar2013 yep that's why my brother had to leave it. He was a real smart egghead but even he eventually couldn't hack it in that insane postdoc culture.

You sound like a pretty trash person yourself. Star Trek was about everyone being valued equally. If you're bigoted filth why do you watch the show in the first place??

Anyone who can look himself in the mirror and use the word woke in seriousness as a pejorative should exit the gene pool without delay out of shame Capiche???

Oh look a shameless fascist speaks! Aren't we lucky?

I love it when scumbag giant corps get huge tax breaks for existing. Because if one knows anything they're certainly hurting for money. And that money certainly trickles down to all of their line workers. Not like said line workers have to periodically go on strike just to get a portion of what they justly deserve. Maybe just maybe we would have enough money to fix all of our social issues if we taxed these amoral big businesses for a change instead of giving them non-stop sloppy fe77atio instead. We have so much wealth in this state and yet so much unnecessary lack and underprivilege. Just amazing. The entire political class just doesn't gaf. Doesn't matter which party they're all in the pocket of the 1%. They're all trash. Can't even get fair rules in the legal weed industry...just stunning. Absolutely EVERYTHING has to go to the 1% and already big business - nobody else deserves genitals. All of our material issues could be fixed tomorrow by simply taxing the big business and 1% class. But why do that?? Better soak the poor and middle class instead and keep cutting essential services from the bottom half. That's much more rational.

I actually would have preferred more continuity in TNG but I understand why they did it the way they did. A few story lines would have benefited well from being flushed out over a partial or whole season arc imo. I don't need things to be consistently perfect not to be able to enjoy the optimistic overall Rosy vision of the future. More long-term storylines and more indepth explanation for some plot points would have been great but it was still a fantastic adventure for this 80s kid.

 @nitehawk86 those were awesome and in a really fun nerdy way
2
That was hellaciously well done. Never again did TNG add do anything ostensibly gross. I actually wish they did because it was pretty darn well done and freaked me out too. 😂
2
You watched Picard twice?? Wow .. ... That is one hell of a pain tolerance. I deeply salute you. I could not have managed such a sacrifice.
2
It has many positives. I don't love it but it feels fairly well done. I think I want to give it a strong B.
2
I'd say the TOS films were at least memorable.... Most having iconic or memorable moments.... For whatever reason the TNG films really stumbled.... I agree that Nemesis was the weakest but they all were mediocre at best, although to this day I'll still watch all of them if given the chance because hey, they're still fun. But yes for some reason that I haven't been able to fully put my finger on the TNG film franchise always felt much weaker to me than the TOS films. There's just something about that ragtag original cast group...

I see that YouTube refuses to post my second comment to nicolasolton. I'm unsurprised.

All this nonsense could change with better laws by electing leftists but unfortunately in this country the red/blue criminal duopoly maintains a real good chokehold on the political process and most of the electorate is pretty dumb and likes to vote against themselves every time. But better laws could definitely change all of this quickly and for the better.

It all stems from the federal government, the states, and local counties disinvested in public education. All by design. They don't want anyone upgrading from their slave class. The more teachers burn out the more they can claim oh look public education doesn't work when they're the ones who have been intentionally crippling at the entire time. Don't think this isn't entirely malicious and manufactured by the demons we call politicians in this country. They all work for big business big business has a vested interest in destroying all public services so they can move in to profit like the vultures they are. Nobody would be having this problem if all public educational districts were adequately and generously funded. Don't you ever wonder why they're constantly cutting educational budgets and funding levels for other beneficial and moral public services? But somehow this never extends to cutting prison funding, Pig funding, or giveaways to private profiteers? It's all by design my friend it's all by design. Democrats are slightly less bad but they're all corrupt they all hate us and they're all trying to sell us out to the highest Wall Street bidder. Neoliberal demons and right-wing fascist filth don't believe in public anything. They believe in a might makes right, fight to the death of death match where the so-called weak or winnowed out and only the strongest and most well-connected get to run home with all the resources. THIS is what we're up against- THIS is Reaganomics- THIS is the takeover by the predatory 1% class. The bottom half gets sacrificed so a thin layer on top can siphon off all the public and private resources and make infinite profits. Soon I'll be right back to where we were in the middle ages, 90% poor destitute and serving as the fetal slave class and the one to 5% ruling nobility. THIS IS HOW THEY SEE ALL OF SOCIETY. THEY ARE THE DIVINE MASTERS THAT GOD HAS SET ASIDE TO OWN ALL CONTROL ALL DOMINATE ALL, HAVE ALL...... And everyone else exists in various stages of destitution serving and being owned by them. THIS IS THE BILLIONAIRE AND MULTI-MILLIONAIRE WET DREAM, and you're seeing it play out in a plethora of ways both big and small locally and at a wider nationwide level....

@charlesspringer4709 I'm sorry you were unhappy teaching but not everyone is the person they're going to end up being at 45 when they're 15. It takes time for people to find a passion in life. Everyone matures a different rates, young people have attitudes that take a while to grow out of. Maybe you should have been called to the office I don't know.... I know you have a right to teach but there are some things you need to overlook. You're teaching teens not 30 year olds if you can't handle that then you should get out of the field. You sound like the same old teachers I hear on the channels that f**** circle jerk and justify child abuse and youth denigration. If a child doesn't prostrate themselves in front of you you feel disrespected is that it?????? If you feel no empathy compassion or respect for the youth that you come in contact with any day then I think you've chosen the wrong job. You don't think young people can sense that you have no respect for them? Some will just internalize it or may not be consciously aware of it, others may use it as an excuse to display subtle acts of defiance. I agree that system has a lot of flaws and needs some fixes but I think that the root cause of your issues is your attitude. Your tone drips with contempt for young people. YOU DON'T THINK PEOPLE CAN SENSE THIS?!? THINK AGAIN! You should probably quit now because what you want from your classrooms is unrealistic. You expect everyone to pass out from all at the subjects you teach and bow down in front of you. This will NEVER be the case in the public sphere. Perhaps you should seek positions in the private school sector in college prep schools since you're so clearly temperamentally unsuited to empathize with students who are anything less than perfect. The problem is you have deep lack of character fissures and don't want to admit the problem is yourself. I can't stand people like you and frankly your entire post disgust me and I've seen so many of them lately. Teachers informer teachers bitching about how rotten and miserable their students are holy fuck - NEVER ONCE THINKING MAYBE THEIR ATTITUDE IS THE PROBLEM! Despite how you may have been raised young people are people too and they deserve the same respect as anyone else. I agree you shouldn't have to tolerate open disrespect in your classroom but low level whispering is something that I think you should overlook. IF YOU DEMAND A PERFECT MILITARY LEVEL COMPLIANCE AND OBEDIENCE THEN YOU HAVE NO PLACE IN A PUBLIC SCHOOL AND YOU NEED TO GET YOUR FUCKING BITCH ASS OUT NOW BECAUSE YOU ARE WAY OUT OF YOUR DEPTH!!!!

@Pencfun I mean did we expect any different? I think all anti- striking bills should be declared unconstitutional not to mention immoral. They hate public employees I mean these people are just rife with contempt for anything that isn't a wealthy elite. They're truly vile non-human individuals. They want passive slaves in the public system as well as in pretty much any job. If someone doesn't have the right to fight for better than they're easy to abuse and exploit. The right wing was never about anything other than slavery. NEVER ONCE.

 @charlesspringer4709 if the unions don't stand up for teachers then I agree that's a problem. As a former teacher are you saying you don't want your summers off?

 @charlesspringer4709 I don't know what you mean by government monopoly?? EVERYONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO STRIKE. WHY ARE YOU STANDING UP FOR YOUR OWN SLAVERY???

@Jablicek wow that's very sad but you should have always spoken up to authorities. That's why teachers in the public system have to be mandated reporters. You should have done it regardless of your job when it comes to the safety of minors. The fact you could sleep at night is disturbing. You had a moral responsibility to stand up against satanic evil parents who are hurting their kids. I'm deeply disappointed you're now publicly admitting you wouldn't do this because you wanted to keep your job. You should have left the very next day and gone to the news and the local police departments. You should have exposed the school as a conspirator and an accessory to child abuse. Shame on you for being a coward. There are children that suffered serious abuse or might be dead now because individuals in your position kept your mouth shut. No amount of money is worth that. I hope one day you get a conscience. Cowardice kills. You should be ashamed of yourself. You did bad and you should feel bad.

@charlesspringer4709 as a former teacher you don't think your job and your rights should be protected? If that qualifies as a racket to you then worms have definitely eaten your brain and this conversation should cease now because there's nowhere for it to go. And actually know we don't, because HOAs are legal. If that's not naked organized crime I don't know what is.

 @charlesspringer4709 why do you want to be a slave?? why do you want other employees to be slaves??? Why do you want to live in a completely disempowered status I don't understand this explain

The right wing was never about anything other than slavery. NEVER ONCE. RACE HATRED AND SLAVERY THAT IS ALL THEY HAVE TO GIVE THAT IS HOW THEY SEE LIFE!!! THE TOTAL OWNERSHIP DOMINATION AND SUBJUGATION OF EVERYONE BY A TINY FEW WHETHER THAT BE WHITE PEOPLE, ELITE BUSINESS OWNERS OR SOME OTHER FAVORED GROUP. EVERYONE ELSE IS TO BE TO THE POINT OF HAVING NO INDEPENDENT WILL OR ABILITY. THAT IS WHAT THEY SEE AS AN ORDERLY UNIVERSE AND AN ORDERLY SOCIETY. IT'S FASCISM 101.

@charlesspringer4709 as a former teacher you don't think your job and your rights should be protected? AGAIN WHY ARE YOU SAYING YOU AS A TEACHER SHOULD HAVE NO POWER OVER YOUR JOB CONDITIONS?!?? THIS MAKES NO SENSE TO ME UNLESS YOU ARE A PLANTED TROLL OR A BOT, WHICH IS IT?!? If that qualifies as a racket to you then worms have definitely eaten your brain and this conversation should cease now because there's nowhere for it to go. And actually know we don't, because HOAs are legal. If that's not naked organized crime I don't know what is.

Nobody take anything that this rat Charles Springer says seriously. He's clearly a planted troll.

They've been trying to undermine, defund, and destroy public education including teacher dignity, teacher unity and teacher control over their working conditions for generations. The right despises public education because they want slaves. THEY WANT SLAVES. ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!!! And by slaves I mean pseudoslaves in the workplace. They want slaves because they demand the right to use human beings as objects to generate mass profit without getting any in return. Slavery is nothing but profit theft and that is what the Right has always been about. All of the racism and race hatreds have been in service to this goal. YOU CAN'T HAVE SLAVES WITH A STRONG PUBLIC SECTOR. IT DOESN'T WORK. Not when everyone has the same inherent human rights, education rights, housing rights and medical rights as everyone else. SO THEY'LL TRY TO UNDERMINE AND KILL IT BY DEATH BY A THOUSAND CUTS. This has been their agenda forever. Naturally this results in overcrowded classrooms, lack of services to vulnerable students, stressed out teachers, stressed out students, and in general an extremely overtaxed and underperforming system.. ALL BY DESIGN!!!! THIS HAS BEEN THEIR PLAYBOOK FOREVER. The Right wing is a satanic cult that says the majority of humanity is worthless and inferior to the master race which is white people and business elites, therefore they don't deserve any resources and they should be allowed to perish or be neglected. This of course isn't the fault of government; this is because of their OWN inborn weakness so government intentionally harming or neglecting these population groups is not the cause but simply the effect, it's simply echoing and acknowledging that any resources made available to these inferior groups would simply be wasted so why give them in the first place?? The false logic of these kinds of hate-filled agendas of course is always lost on these types of people. The Right orgasms itself on self-fulfilling prophecies.

Anytime someone tells the truth about our satanic political system (one satanic Wall Street party with two faces) and their non-stop attacks on anything decent including all public services (including the public educational system), it gets banned. I've been trying to post for minutes. Unsurprisingly I cannot.

Pay no attention to that tra / sh Charles Springer everyone. I do not believe for a moment he's a former teacher or if he is he certainly had no moral right to be. No wonder he's FORMER. I think more probably though he is simply a paid troll.

 @charlesspringer4709 it's clear you don't have a soul and you're a paid troll. Move along.

@volbla all our laws save a very few are written by big businessmen and their lobbyists, and delivered in fully finished form to their political pets. The politicians take their diktats as agreed, and sign on the dotted line. They do this because they want big business to keep giving them money year after year, campaign after campaign. Basically, they hire themselves out to all big money interests this way. This has been going on for generations. State and federal politics has virtually never been for the common people in this country and the Constitution is a decent enough document but basically full of shit. This country was set up for elite rule and to protect the institution of slaves and pseudoslaves. We are still fighting this battle today. Why we continue to vote for people who are our naked and open enemies I have no idea, but we do. They don't work for us, they work for big business. That's as true of the Democrats as the GOP. Democrats just pretend to care about the people more but it's virtually all lies.

@andyjin1453 because like it or not, sooner or later we're all connected, one way or another. No man is an island. (Well, few people are) Whether someone is just a big bad evildoer by nature (I think this is rarely the case but can happen) or because social conditions left one with little choice but to do the so-called "crime", the fact is, a serious crime always affects someone besides its intended or unintended victim. It affects their family and their immediate community, and occasionally those beyond that. This "me first, I'm the only one that matters" attitude isn't very nice, and it robs us of a sense of social responsibility. Frankly I think it's the moral rot that causes all problems in our society. I hate it, and I'm tired of seeing it. Wouldn't you rather live in a society where we ALL cared about each other???? Doesn't a sense of community matter to you?? If you don't naturally want an ideal society that gives everyone the best possible opportunities then I say you need to reevaluate yourself. If you matter, then why doesn't everyone else? What makes you so special and everyone else less so?? What you want for yourself should be the right of everyone. My main question to everyone is why do only "some" lucky people get certain opportunities or benefits??? I'm not referring to special private connections, obviously those are going to vary based on family history and blind luck; I'm referring to those provided by public investment, i.e. government policy. I'm always shocked that some people so casually accept that THEY deserve all the goodies and opportunities in life but "someone else" out there does not. I find that attitude morally reprehensible but also just kind of stunning. I mean you and I are also "somebodies else" to other people- someone else out there could be saying "I deserve all of these benefits but other people do not", and in this hypothetical case you and I would be those "other people". Do you see what I'm getting at??? If millions of people have this attitude of "me first / screw everyone else / I don't want to be part of a society that gives everyone basic opportunities", how soon before that affects people like you or I???? And like I said if /we/ deserve good things (as I'm sure you believe that you do) then how come everyone else doesn't; what's so special about us?!? IT'S SIMPLE, EITHER EVERYONE DESERVES THE SAME BASIC OPPORTUNITIES AND SOCIAL INVESTMENT, OR NO ONE DOES. NO ONE IS INHERENTLY BETTER THAN ANY OTHER. It is not right to say that certain demographic groups get all the investment and opportunities and others get next to none and then expect those that were intentionally left out to perform at the same level as everyone else and not have negative socioconomic indicators. I'M A COMMUNIST. ARE THERE EVERYONE MATTERS, OR NO ONE DOES. THAT'S MY PHILOSOPHY.. It shouldn't be an accident of birth that you get all the special goodies in life. Government should be there to ensure that everyone gets the same generous opportunities and public investment. Whatever ones particular family wants to throw in on top of that that's their business, but the state should be providing generous equal opportunity to all. Ours doesn't do this and that's why I oppose our current government in every form and I want it to be torn down and something better put in its place. Our current government serves the infinite filthy greed of big business and the rest of us essentially don't matter. I don't agree with this. We've been raised to believe that selfishness and cold-bloodedness is a virtue and honestly that really grosses me out on every level. That's not the society I want to live in. It's fine to want good things for ourselves but we should want good things for EVERYONE. Why do other people matter less than we do??? Why do other races matter less than the race we believe ourselves to be a part of (let's not forget that all human DNA is virtually identical so races are mostly a social construct)???? The truth is it's only our singular perspective that makes us believe that by birthright we deserve all the best benefits- what's a random strangers we could just as easily be discounted, the way you casually discounted others just now. It's not only morally right, it's just logic. Who's to say which deserves the opportunities and the compassionate treatment in the justice system, and who doesn't?!? It's not right to say some people are more inherently worthy than others, a moral society doesn't accept that. Everyone has potential- it's not all the same, but everyone can do something. Everyone can better themselves with given the opportunity. Just care about other people. That's all I ask. Others deserve the same opportunities as you, it's that simple. It starts with the government doing its job properly. Our government doesn't give a shit about you and me. They deserve to be destroyed. We need a government that does. In the meantime we need to insist on better policies and better investments in the bottom 70%. I don't feel very good if I'm only caring about myself. My purpose is to make a difference in the world. Besides what we want for ourselves shouldn't that be everyone's goal? Maybe some people just naturally wired it to only care about themselves and their immediate family - I'm not. That doesn't work for me. I mean it's just basic decency to want other people to have the best possible choices available and even if they make a poor decision (ie "crime) that shouldn't be the end of their life. Even if one feels that they should be locked up for their so-called "crime" there should still be opportunities and rehabilitation provided so that when they are released they can hopefully move on with their life as a much better person because they were given the therapies and the rehabilitation necessary to do so. People don't get better all on their own and they certainly don't get better from abuse or neglect. If we want people to choose better we have to give them the skills, the tools, the mental health treatment, the support and the chance to do so. Not only is this right, this is only logical. You can't get out what you don't put in. These things benefit that person and anyone else in their immediate circle, when we do this for every citizen and/or inmate, then obviously over time this improves thousands and then millions of lives. It becomes a virtuous cycle spiraling upwards. Just think about it. Not only is everything I'm saying clearly right from a moral perspective but it's only logic. If we don't help and invest in people we can't possibly expect a majority to achieve their best or have the tools to make constructive choices. It's that simple. It's THAT simple. You CANNOT get out of a machine that you do not put into it- first principle of thermodynamics. First. Humans are bio machines with emotions and consciousness. Everyone deserves a fair chance, everyone. It starts with high government spending and reinvestment in the general public, stopping greed at the top, combined with private contributions from willing givers. Tl;dr: Bec it's about equal opportunity and full rehabilitation behind bars. Everyone deserves that. No one person has more inherent right to benefits and opportunity than anyone else. I don't want to live in a society or selfish immature people only care about themselves. A great society cares about everyone.

@ConductiveFoam one- if it's taxpayer funded it's never free. We pay small portions of our income to receive beneficial services with a low profit margin built-in. This is the purpose of taxes. You use public services every fucking day. So your attitude is perplexing and idiotic. I agree we should have more choice over how much taxes we are charged and where they go, but public services benefit everyone. We need MORE public services, not less. Anything provided on a non-profit basis benefits more people than high profit services do, for obvious reasons I'm sure you can see. Two; why SHOULDN'T government spending focus on the bottom 99% instead of the satanic 1% that are bleeding us all dry at a shockingly alarming rate? Are you not aware of the reality of which you live? Know that the federal govt creates the money we use and they don't need to tax for shit. The entire 1T military machine budget is totally paid for by created dollars. Every year, just created and sent out into wider circulation. That's how it works. Please don't tell me you're so stupid you don't know that the federal mint exists? The purpose of the Federal Mint is to literally create dollars and coins out of thin air. This is what it does. These dollars then circulate and eventually they end up in ordinary people's hands like us. Also many money is literally created almost magically, in digital form. It's treated as real and we go about our business. Only local governments need to tax to fund their local or state services because they do not create any currency, so they need to get it from us; the federal government literally prints and digitally creates money 24/7, they don't need to tax anyone's for shit and they need to STOP taxing (and borrowing IMO) as a matter of fact. I oppose the IRS on a logical and ethical basis, because of this very fact.

I don't want to live in a society or selfish immature people only care about themselves. A great society cares about everyone.

@ConductiveFoam Feel free to use the following, at first I thought you were serious. one- if it's taxpayer funded it's never free. We pay small portions of our income to receive beneficial services with a low profit margin built-in. This is the purpose of taxes. You use public services every fcking day. So your attitude is perplexing and idiotic. I agree we should have more choice over how much taxes we are charged and where they go, but public services benefit everyone. We need MORE public services, not less. Anything provided on a non-profit basis benefits more people than high-profit services do, for obvious reasons I'm sure you can see. Two; why SHOULDN'T government spending focus on the bottom 99% instead of the satanic 1% that are bleeding us all dry at a shockingly alarming rate? Are you not aware of the reality of which you live? Know that the federal govt creates the money we use and they don't need to tax for shit. The entire 1T military machine budget is totally paid for by created dollars. Every year, just created and sent out into wider circulation. That's how it works. Please don't tell me you're so stupid you don't know that the federal mint exists? The purpose of the Federal Mint is to literally create dollars and coins out of thin air. This is what it does. These dollars then circulate and eventually they end up in ordinary people's hands like us. Also many money is literally created almost magically, in digital form. It's treated as real and we go about our business. Only local governments need to tax to fund their local or state services because they do not create any currency, so they need to get it from us; the federal government literally prints and digitally creates money 24/7, they don't need to tax anyone's for shit and they need to STOP taxing (and borrowing IMO) as a matter of fact. I oppose the IRS on a logical and ethical basis, because of this very fact.

Regarding 06:38 It's terrible what happened in India under British rule, and of course to my knowledge there's been no even token apology or reparations attempted at being made. One thing I don't quite understand that I'm open to learning more about is why Indian authorities didn't just expel the British forces?? I mean you've let these people put down an anchor and grow their numbers for 100 years and you never once thought about uniting your citizenry and killing them all or expelling them? I ask myself the same question about South America at the time of Spanish contact and the ensuing hundred years. I just don't get it I really don't and to this day I struggle to understand how they could have been allowed to grow and metastasize to a point where now they had real influence and control. And even then, at any point literally they were still grossly outnumbered- so at any point if any halfway cohesive military campaign got itself together either in South America or in India the colonizers would have been quickly beaten. And for the life of me to this day it's just hard for me to understand why this never happened... Unless they loved living under the boot of colonialism so much .. which I find hard to believe. I'm sure they had their internal politics but seriously, you can't put those aside for five minutes when you're under a collective outside threat? And look what happened as a result. It's just something that's been hard for me to understand. If people don't like being colonized and I don't think anyone does, then FIGHT GODDAMMIT!!! I can understand losing to a force that has superior arms or significantly superior numbers, but even if the Indian continent didn't have guns at time of contact I'm sure it wouldn't have been too hard to get some within the 50 years after- I'm sure they had opportunities for arms trade. And then ... Organize right?? I mean surely they had only about 250M to 500M people to mobilize from.. So that's one aspect of history I just don't quite understand. I also wonder if official apologies and honest attempts at reparations will ever be given by any European power, or the UK. Hell or the US here towards our indigenous groups. Yeah right. I highly doubt that. I'll believe it when I see it. Political scum up top in the West feel entitled to take what they want at anytime, this attitude still prevails, they don't feel any moral obligation to acknowledge past crimes of aggression. To them it's simply 'might makes right'. "Boo hoo sucks to be you, law of the jungle baby" is pretty much their attitude. So here we are. Will the vast fortunes and precious objects liquidated from these previously colonized territories ever be repatriated? I'll only believe it when I see it.

Just fyi, I totally understand you about worrying about paying for food and it's ridiculous in this country that this is still a problem but worst case scenario there are food stamps. We even used to have a semi respectable welfare system in this country until they shredded it in 1996. Of course we all would rather be self-sustaining on a respectable income but shit happens. Besides, UBI should be a thing, esp in an age where nobody wants to pay anyone well anymore unless you're in a very fortunate position.

@cajonesalt0191 force laws to change. Get politically organized. Get out of the red/blue bullshit duopoly. Go socialist or commie like me. Demand high minimum wage laws and better Labor protection laws. We can put them on the ballot we don't even need to wait for these worthless politicians. That's our way out. It isn't easy but it's possible. Questions?

Honestly I am sure not even that far in the future with an accelerated and efficient curriculum, that higher math can't be taught to average or better students. If a child is specifically slow I imagine that they would be taught appropriately for what they could comfortably handle but I would think, for the average student in a future more idealized classroom where every student doesn't have to fight for attention in overcrowded classrooms or deal with the fact they didn't eat breakfast that morning in underfunded school districts, because everybody today is morally depraved and doesn't care about anybody else besides their sorry filthy selves, I wouldn't see why it would be beyond the realm of possibility. I bet there are fairly effective ways to simplify certain math concepts so a fair amount of younger students could grasp them. I honestly don't see why this can't be done today. Oce more fundamental concepts were mastered and if they were taught in a simple enough fashion I don't see why 10-12 year olds wouldn't be able to smoothly move up to some of the higher concepts.

We get near nothing for our taxes here. A few nice parks ok- in San Diego metro they still don't keep all the park bathrooms all year round- but overall I do see nice public park areas by me and I'll grant that one. Roads? Eh, some are fine and I've seen some highway expansion projects that I'm going to hope were needed and done after a smart analysis, but what about poor quality local city streets that the city so far wont fix!?!? Theres always an excuse. Stealing taxes yet again, ok. Per usual. Sky high rent. Wont demand rent limits and controls. Food insecurity amid mass intentional food waste. No guaranteed access to healthcare. Few homeless assistance programs. Low-cost four-year and career schools?? Where???? Free community college for those who need it???? A living stipend for poor college students????? Anywhere near livable minimum wage statewide, even countywide? NOOOPE!!!!! better funding for all non-rich k-12 school districts?!? Free or low-cost subsidized childcare for those who need it?!? NO WAY BETCH! Fuggedabttit!! Supporting all small farmers and homesteaders??? Nah!!!! Providing better drinking water quality????? More support for those in foster care from time of entry until age 30??? Nah! Extra income and family programs for low-income families? Maybe some of the latter, none of the former... I'm sure we need more. The only thing political demons DO WANT TO SPEND MONEY ON in California and locally is ALWAYS MORE POLICE and lockup. Amazing. Won't help the masses by funding services properly, but DO have a neverending appetite to steal freedom and break up a family - for longer and and longer stretches for more and more minor alleged so-called offenses. Their appetite for stealing life seems unshakeable. Its stupendous to me. They really are destroyers and stone-cold predators. Of course science is important - as are so many other social needs. Too bad the vast majority of our corrupt bought-and-paid-for political filth who assess our taxes and determine where they go, dont value anything but their personal profit and advancement. Too bad the entire political sphere only serves big business lobbyist mega money- not the small taxpayer. Politicians here only want to serve big-time elite money - not the average citizen. They continually set new lows for filth and amorality and venality. One wonders if this will ever change or if it even CAN change. I mean, as a people-matter justice-matters co/mmunist leftist - I deeply doubt it. I haven't seen it yet. I mean - some hyper-crooked bogus hyper-scam company gets 500K a year from the State of California for supposedly providing re-entry services to a handful of released sex offenders. I mean what do you want to bet 99.5 % of those funds went into the pockets of the criminals who ran that sham "non-profit"??? Amazing... And everyone seems fine with this! Politics is beyond filth in the US. The 99% get boned every time. I dont know how to change this. We elect trash crooks and people who fuck us every time. Edit: for that scam so-called re-entry "company" I actually now believe it was up to 500K per person!! Because of course an ex-SO deserves half a mil to readjust to civilian life. Even if you believe these types are redeemable, and I believe that's highly arguable, obviously its outrageous larceny of the most disgusting scale to put that high of a price tag on it but of course, I would be highly naive NOT to believe that 99.5% of that money is literally going straight into the pockets of the director of that criminal and bogus operation. The re-entering person is lucky to see 10% of that , if that, I'm sure. (And with no law against these essentially shell companies existing just to funnel gobsmacks of public money up to the top management/ owners, I'm sure it's very common). The non-profit sector is rife with pretenders and scammers like this I'm sure. Just look at the Meals on Wheels program..... But I'll go into that at another time. I just love that my taxes I worked for are going to fatten already fat worthless cats and not to genuine public needs or those in need. Hyperselfishness at its finest.

Everything in life should NOT be a pyramid scheme. That's why I'm very proud to be a flaming communist. I'm not against profit, I'm just about profit being so extreme that the bottom 80% are getting shafted. Seriously we can do better than this. Universal prosperity is the only acceptable economic value to have and it's one that could be easily achievable TODAY if there was political will. So who's with me? Come ON.. I'm a super based capybara... JOIN ME... and learn all the ways of the Force Have you heard the tale of Darth Plagieus the Wise??

It's bizarre we have an entire government set up to protect the extreme elitism, greed, and sociopathy- or at best, stunning lack of awareness- of a tiny would-be hyper-elite at the expense of I would say probably at least the bottom 60%. Idk, I say it's time to have a more communistic society that values everyone and rewards everyone well. All right well let's just overthrow the shitty bogus government that's been around for the last 200 some years and establish one that is more in line with our awesome based enlightened views. I mean can't be that hard right? But yeah, surely we can finally fix this shit in my lifetime. If we can't crash the whole system perhaps we can politically organize and pass some very important prime mover measures through the public ballot. I've got a whole host ready to go. Something major needs to change because we are all in neo-feudalism and neo-slavery now and it's bogus! There's no reason why everyone can't live comfortably. There's more than enough to go around that much is a fact.

Well this is why I'm a flaming communist rodent. This is all nonsense this is all bogus and it needs to end. If workers are humans and humans have rights then workers should have rights and you know what let's just be cool and say everyone has rights and stop this bullshit. Here's my swell 7-point plan to fix society: >Tax at the top, mainly bigger business > Stop using the court, road piracy, jail, and bail racket to oppress the poor (> also stop mass incarceration. Kinda a crime against our humanity which blows) >Fund all public services generously incl healthcare and public higher ed > Protect Labor (many ways) > Pay well for all jobs (not the same, just well). Start with a just minimum wage 25/hr >Rent control and tenant rights >Homeowner rights and aggressive homeowner protections Ok so that's my cool 7-point plan to fix society. Shouldn't be hard. Probably get it done in two, three weekends tops

Wow thank you so much for sharing. Hearing from actual students and teachers is absolutely vital to knowing what the public system needs to change. You know there's just so many people that were never suited to be parents because they only care about what they want and they have no f**** blazing concept of what's best for their kids. Your parents wasted your time and they owe you an apology. If the school couldn't offer you accelerated classes then yes you should have been able to skip a grade. So what if you ended up being younger than most of your classmates you would have adjusted to that. Your mother should admit today that she failed you out of fear and ignorance and she owes you a sincere apology. Your well-being should be her number one concern and clearly it wasn't. Giving our kids the best possible options in life starts with giving them the best possible educational opportunities. I'm incredibly disgusted at your parents apathy. You have every right to confront them and hold nothing back. THEY OWED YOU OPPORTUNITY- IT'S CALLED BEING A PARENT. Every student has the right to proceed with their education at their own pace. There should be remedial, average, above-average and highly accelerated classes in every k-12 school district. We have 12 year olds graduating high school in some cases. Some children are just very gifted. It's outrageous to intentionally handicap them. If she was worried about your social development that's an ignorant consideration. Being one or two grades ahead is hardly being that far behind socially. Without a doubt you would have been able to make the adjustment. If 12 year olds can somehow manage to be happy and still graduate high school, I'm sure you could have navigated your situation. Kids adapt that's what they do. Sure, being 14 in college is awkward but you know what, it can be dealt with. The problem with public education is that it tries too hard to fit everyone into one mold. This is it's fatal flaw as far as I'm concerned. I understand part of the problem is limited funding and the reason for this are terrible people who control the funding, aka our politicians on both sides. However I think it's more than that I think it's a lack of ability to realize that the most successful outcomes are with schools and educational attitudes that try their best to leave no student behind (not of course to justify the disastrous intentionally poor approach of the Bush era NCLB). One size doesn't fit all. If public schools simply diversified their approaches to meet the needs of all students I guarantee all of their behavioral issues would drop like a rock. Some students need a more vocational, some need to be in remedial classes, some need extra mental health support some need intervention because of abuse at home, some need highly advanced and accelerated classes, SOMEONE TO MORE HANDS-ON SENSORY-RICH APPROACH, SOME DON'T MIND SITTING STILL FOR BORING LECTURES- WHY CAN'T WE DO ALL OF THIS!?! I think it's a tragedy that only people who are middle-class and above can afford to give their children a world-class education. I see no reason why public schools can't diversify and until they do they're going to continue to have a lot of students fall through the cracks. Even with piss poor funding I don't see why this is necessary. Of course all public schools deserve generous funding but until we fix the moral rot at the heart of our political class which controls the disbursement of public monies, this will continue to be a completely unavoidable issue and self-inflicted injury. In the meantime why don't all public school districts do their best to succeed with what they have and tailor their approach to as many students as possible instead of just demanding all students be perfect and fit themselves into the traditional model that doesn't serve a great many students. In short public schools need to start now if they haven't already by providing: -way more Hands-On trade-based voc-tech approaches for those who want that - a much more accelerated pipeline for those who are advanced - more active sensory-rich approaches in as many subjects as possible -respect and support given to those with any type of neurodivergence (I would like to add; in part related to the above; provided it is not done loudly or overly disruptively late entrances to classrooms or breaks should be permitted without explanation or special pass. This is how it works in college and I see no reason why high school can't work the same way. For how much longer are we going to infantilize our young adults? If you're 14+ I say you're well old enough to be given the right to have some say over your educational future and how you get there. If teachers can't accept this then they can find another job. Not every student needs to be in rapt perfect attention every moment- not every student is going to be in raptured by every subject taught ; this is just pie-in-the-sky nonsense thinking. Despite our best efforts some students will never be motivated for academic study and that's just life! The fact that some teachers can't grasp this is stunning to me. Human beings are a diverse species and huge swaths of them have no interest in academics. It's just not in their DNA and literally NOTHING in the world can change this. Some teachers are emotionally immature and live in a fantasy world of self-entitlement where they somehow expect every student to fall madly in love with every subject taught (because they the teacher already have) and it's just an insanely silly, self-indulgent and ridiculously out of touch mentality to feel this way. Even students who enjoy learning are not going to prize every subject equally, and it would behoove certain teachers to remember as much. Ultimately each student will pass or fail a given class based on a variety of factors, not just attendance, and live with the consequences. It should be their choice if they wish to step out of class for whatever reason provided they do so quietly) Also I would demand that HS students be allowed more input and control over their schedules and curricula. The infantilization of our older youth has to stop. If you're a freshman or above you deserve some say in your educational career. Failure to do these things will lead to unnecessarily substandard outcomes and continued behavioral issues in classrooms, in my belief.

People can claim shoplifting is wrong but I say it's not. Corporations are cutting our throat to the bone every possible way and here we are acting like impinging on their outrageous profits with relative pennies-worth of loss is a crime? They are literally criminals who know only one god, greed- so no, I view taking from corporate entities as my right. The laws (that they pay for) will desperately attempt to brainwash all of us to see them as victims (and about a joke) but fortunately for me I can think for myself. They have NO rights and they deserve to go out of business. They are nothing but a drain and a parasite on our communities. We should see them as the criminals and thugs that they are. They could afford to donate half their inventory to the community to relieve some of the grinding poverty out here, but they don't because they are 1000% selfish. They don't even take care of their own employees! EVERYONE should be taking from these companies! they shouldn't find a single friendly face out here! Trust me people , they don't deserve it!!!! For all these reasons and many more, lifting from corporate stores is most definitely NOT a crime. I would say it's a civil infraction at most, but I wouldn't even call it that. I say it's a public's right. Crime is always in the eye of the beholder so it's not a shock that this ruthless brutal hateful anti-life anti-human megacorporate bought-and-paid-for injustice system is going to call me the criminal when I need to survive, while corporations out here are raping all of us. Basically, for so many reasons, a person is incapable of violating or wronging a corporation, esp a retail corporation. We need a values adjustment in this country yesterday.

YouTube is such a gross pathetic b***h these days. I posted some anti-corporate comments that defended the practice commonly known as "shoplifting" and of course they wouldn't post. What a shock!
