That makes so much more sense than pure time off.

If I ever emigrated, it would be to Nederland. Weather be damned, the Dutch are top-tier.

Barrister here. Our courts go on recess for about as long as schools go on holiday. Alas, for us, the knock on effect is dire:

  • Court logs are jammed and hearing dates are pushed absurdly far in the future. (Application becomes opposed = see you in a year from now; trial becomes defended = see you in five years, at best.)
  • We're also all sole practitioners (members of the various Bar councils) so, no work no fees.

June-July and December-January are devastating. If I had kids I'm sure I'd appreciate these forced breaks, but I don't, so I can't.

Teachers, however, deserve it waaay more than us, that's for sure. If I won €1 billion I'd give 99% to teachers. It's an inexcusable tragedy that you're paid so little for an incredibly tough job with significant social importance.

I tip my cap to teachers. You're fucking hero(in)es.

My point was that their proud wearing of MAGA caps, in my view, renders them deplorable even if their child's killing spree was not in any way their fault. (Which, come on, it almost certainly is.)

Fuck them in spite of him.

If you're MAGA, you endorse Jan 6 and support a convicted felon to lead the world.

Fuck MAGA.

Fuck these two—in spite of their alleged murderer son.
