    My late Dad always said that we should completely dissociate from G.B. post-WWII. After spending a year in England, and some 9+ months inside their Counterintelligence Services, he felt they could never be trusted.

    England is an island with few natural resources. They had to increase their "Empire" to sustain power. Empire is what has led to England's decline..........immigrants from all of their protectorates are now flocking "home"......not assimilating.....and destroying the island nation.

    Watch out! Don't step in that "narrative"...
    We are screwed as a nation

    - The low-information, easily-buffooned folks outnumber the rest of us

    - The media is corrupt

    - The schools are indoctrination machines and worthless at teaching things that are critical to the success of our nation (and personal success)

    - And, we are under attack from our own government


    I’m damn sad for my grandchildren and damn mad at the same time

    You have to understand that the media controls the democratic party therefore the media is the liberal political party and what is widely accepted as the democratic party is really just the public face if it. Sorta like the libstick (mistyped but probably more accurate than lipstick) on a pig.

    I find it outrageous that they have time for CRT and DEI bullshit, but can't get more than a third of students up to snuff.

    From the article:
    Tarrant County GOP Chair Bo French told Texas Scorecard, “Government bureaucracy in almost every case is more interested in growing itself than it is producing results. Our public schools are no different. In every other industry on the planet, free markets make the products better and less expensive. We should apply those same principles to our schools.”

    Hear hear.

    And it's isn't just Fort Worth or Texas. Our country used to have the most respected education system in the world. And it wasn't all that long ago. Today? Not so much...

    The IMD World Competitiveness Center reported that the U.S. ranked 12th overall among all countries in its 2024 Competitiveness Report of student educational achievement. It gets a lot worse in math...which is just a little bit important if the current and future generations are going to keep us competitive on the world stage. In math, the U.S. ranked 34th! All of the top 5 countries in math were in Asia.

    But, hey! On the bright side, our schools are doing a much better job of teaching revisionist history, gender fluidity studies, CRT, DEI, and socialist ideas. Kids born in 2024 may end up mightily sucking in reading, writing, and STEM subjects, but they'll be well-equipped for government jobs and elected positions! :banghead:

    Oopsie!




    So the ‘jobs report’ everyone touts quarterly is based off survey data that’s extrapolated and is later revised with hard actuals.

    What we’ve known for a while is the number of employers responding to the survey request has been dwindling as had the breadth of industries.

    This BLS revision should make them take a hard look at the validity of the extrapolation process. We’ll see how the final numbers in 2025 look, but it’s not likely to paint a rosier picture.
