Civics and economics are two subjects that aren’t treated with the rigor they should be in American high schools. Both subjects are usually taught by coaches as a placeholder to give them a faculty job so they can be on the coaching staff.
I’m reading this and thinking “this can’t be real”. How did we end up here? I really don’t get it.
Once I got in touch with someone they were helpful and professional. They’re just so understaffed you can’t speak to someone. The first three times I tried to call tye system message was basically “There is no more room in the queue. Please try again later. You will be disconnected now.” And I was.
It’s dysfunctional now. I’ve been dealing with a problem with my 2018 return because of mistake by my preparer. I tried multiple times over a two year period to reach someone on the phone with no success. On my last attempt I got to a person after 1 hour 45 minutes on hold. I sent the requested documents in November 2024 and still haven’t received so much as an acknowledgement in the mail.
I live in Louisiana. You can’t educate about vaccines here. Most people do not believe anything officials say about vaccines.
Thanks for the link.
Historically the US economy generally performs better under Democratic administrations than Republican ones. I’ve read several articles and studies that show this. I’m on mobile and don’t have the time to find them However polls show that Americans consistently have the opinion that Republican admins are better on economics. And this despite no matter how much evidence os presented.
People that understand economics said that People who labor under the delusion that Republican administrations are better for the economy thought otherwise.
I know I’ve seen this on several websites today. What was everyone expecting? The only think I can think of is the old trope that Republican administrations are better for the economy. I have coworkers who were basically expecting miracles once Trump got into office. Things are probably gonna be bad.
I threw my back out at 27 bending over to tie my shoe. It’s a magical age.
No. The answer is no. Yesterday Kristi Noem was in New Orleans and said, unironically, “We are a nation of laws”
He’s a terrible person.
I’m in Louisiana and Cassidy is toast. He’s not going to be reelected because of the impeachment vote. I was hoping he’d actually not cave but he’s towing the line for no reason. The whole thing is over in 4 years we’ll probably be a lawless wasteland with rampant corruption and disease.
Best of luck
Doesn’t Ecuador use the U.S. Dollar? It’ll be interesting if the tariffs last any length of time.
Behind the Bastards did a great series on Lee. It’s definitely worth a listen.
I found an article that wasn’t paywalled. Pulled a pistol on police during a traffic stop and failed to lower his weapon when instructed. What an idiot.
I’m exhausted from all of this and it’s not even January. How have we reached a point where Nazism is back in vogue?
I agree he’s an asshole. I hate how he gives credibility to people that don’t deserve it.
Those of us in our mid-50s aren’t exactly happy either right now.
