It’s because there are, like many things, 80% of us who get what the intentions were, while there is 20 percent who abuse it or mishandle it. It’s not the a majority are asses though, just the crazies get more airtime, and then it becomes an echo chamber.

Sorry the data was 50% of people in Detroit were illiterate. But yes the more north you are the more south south feels indeed lol

I had heard a stat something like 40% of people in Michigan can’t read and of those 40% it was like 70-80% were from Lansing I think. If I’m wrong, I’m very sorry. And to be fair, I think my schooling was okay, but I don’t think it was great or above Average either

If you want to know the truth, it’s because America prioritizes almost everything above education in the money department. And while I enjoy making sure that Putin can’t take over countries do to America’s astronomically large defense budget, and help from other countries, we could probably use some of that money to help education, but you can’t do that because what is cheaper/free college going to do for the military? That’s right, cut in to the people who go to the military for free/cheap education. there’s more to it but that’s the gist, is that military eats up most of the federal spending, and then what trickles down to states, counties, and cities, is done as those people see fit. Some schools, cities and counties do well, but Michigan, and the south really aren’t helping things, plus you have teachers paid poorly, who may of had a love for teaching, be stressed out all year around, and they may tell that kid who is an annoyance in class that he can have the easy book because they won’t shut up and bring a nuisance, to let them read some small chapter book or something for a report than not. I’ve seen it happen plenty when I was in high school. But it boils down to money mostly.

Recently just made 4 posts about the same thing because of a “network error” on opensignups@lemmy.ml

Literally crazy!

Didn’t know it was such a fast turnaround.

Didn’t know it was such a fast turn around for that, damn!

Why July 1st?

I’ll have to play it some time!

NBA street was good until the third one and I can’t explain it, but it just wasn’t nearly as good as the second one. NFL blitz went away from an arcadey feel to a weird gritty prison football simulator. Never played NHL hitz sadly.

Was worried… Now just smiling lol
