How are they empty?

Have you been in a school? It's heavily understaffed, talk to any teacher they will say the same thing. Fund schools.

And just because rights become limited because you make an agreement with the school to alleviate some of those rights, doesn't mean this is a good idea. In the event of a crisis, system failure, a nefarious actor, it opens up so many variables to play with. It's a dumb idea to establish technology like that on campus when the better solution is to just hire more staff and hire better trained staff and engorge curriculum with more engaging lessons.

On top of that, whatever amount of money to establish and upkeep these I promise will eventually fail as kids will figure out some way to bypass it. They always do. Waste of money.

Lmfao someone doesn't read their history or is improperly educated

There's a place in the world with vast biodiversity, poor history of sanitation practices, a history of denying health outbreaks and malpractice that has shown to accelerate issues around outbreaks and houses some of the most densely populated areas on earth.

Totally goofy shit to say

Again. Rand Paul has stomped around for over a decade telling people to be wary of vaccines, that they cause autism, mental disorders and that they're overall unhealthy. Meanwhile he is vaccinated.

I don't know why you're being straight up frustratingly stupid about it.

The point is whenever Rand Paul says fuck all about vaccines the first thing to note is HE IS VACCINATED. He's a hypocrite and he is trying to grift people.

He knows there are Americans who have been convinced by religion and lack of education and people like him to think vaccines aren't good, so he's preying on that WHILE HE IS VACCINATED.

He would not be allowed to do the things he does if he wasn't. It doesn't matter what he says in this tweet, he should shut the fuck up about vaccinations because the rest of us know he's lying.

There is no reason to ever listen to this man about vaccinations.

It's not meant to be a gotcha, it's not meant to SLAM or OWN or ANNIHILATE Rand Paul. I'm not Ben Shitpiro. Again, if he says fuck all about vaccines know, he is vaccinated and he's trying to grift.

Okay? Okay.

You're either young or not American. Rand Paul has been anti vaccination forever

"On Friday night in Iowa, Paul faced likely voters in the state's leadoff nominating caucuses for the first time since answering questions about a measles outbreak centered in California. Paul said Monday that he had heard about "many tragic cases" of children who got vaccines and ended up with "profound mental disorders."

That assertion has no basis in medical research, and Paul clearly was still upset on Friday about how his comments had been received"

This is from early 2015, before COVID btw.

I'd sorta think this is a good idea but I'm not really down for putting cellphone jammers or anything like that on school property. Freedom comes first.

The solution is to fund schools better for better education programs and more staff who would be able to handle rule infractions better. Harder to use your phone in class when 3 staff members are around engaged with the kids.

Fauci is definitely innocent. Not sure where you even find grounds to argue that.

I agree with a lot of what you say but acting like fauci is cobra commander or something and controls all these strings is nuts. I think it was something like 50,000 a year for 8 years that went towards this specific lab which fauci had the authority to apply alongside a ton of other labs.

But we aren't going to get there by smashing thousands of souls into a war likely not to end with results that are good.

Ranked voting, removing the two party dominance, term limits, openness about where funding is going and the end of this whole government hides behind choices to fight "terrorism" or whatever they sell needs to end. That won't happen with violence.

What country are you from then? You mentioned yours will likely be invaded by America in the next few years so what Cuba? Greenland?

Is your country free of violence and oppression? No. Do I as a citizen run around laughing at you and your history? No.

Greenland forced inuit women into being infertile, Cuba has a history of massacring political dissidents.

So where are you from? What are your people responsible for? Americans are hyper aware of their history and have probably the highest awareness of their racism and their atrocities than any other country on the planet.

It's just so ignorant to sit there and try to act high and mighty when the truth is government hierarchy and the people with power are always the problem regardless of what country or region or culture they're from. America's issues aren't strictly American.

I don't want a revolution. Revolutions look nice on paper and being decades or centuries away from them seem nice but revolutions cause extreme instability that open up space for corruption and allow the very people you're often trying to help fall through the cracks.

We didn't get the 40 hour work week because people fought and died for it, unfortunately. It might have brought the conversation forward but it likely delayed results as states prioritize control and stability and will increase their means of violence to do so. We got the 40 hour work week because the right people were elected.

Unfortunately the same with slavery but in an odd opposite way. The civil war ended slavery, but only because increasingly officials who were anti slavery were elected and that put pressure on southern states to engage in violence as they feared slavery would end. Which caused the government to increase their means of violence and force stability, ending slavery.

The solution is obvious, educated people make better decisions including electing better officials and they will steer society the right way. Currently the level of frustration has made people close off their opinions, disengage from electoral processes and regress back into factions prone to infighting. I fear a revolution, it will immediately land on the feet of the poor, destitute and desperate and harm them probably killing the very people a revolution is supposed to help.

I'm not preaching total non-violence here. There will be violence. But starting a full blown revolution is not the path forward in my opinion. Regardless of how people want to portray it stability is way closer than it seems, uniting together and education are the shortest paths to it.

And people who comment that harris and trump are the same are actively ruining those avenues to a solution because often they're not interested in a solution they're interested in being right and being heard and making people believe they are right.

That's just my take though.

Uh huh.

But the reeducation camps the United States government forced indigenous Americans into was definitely genocide. Same banana.

And no that is not how you get more leftists. Education is how you get more. This generation is 100% more right wing than the media wants to admit

Also it's spelled Kamala, maybe don't talk about a country you've probably never even been to so confidently.
