He's wise enough to avoid all social media. His friends are baggers at the grocery store and his children.

Sent this to my dad.

Sounds like a great way to be refused service. You're going to take people anyway? Why should they share deliciousness with you?

This is similar to the beginning of Inglorious Basterds. The milk scene.

How about castrates and defenestrated?

I reviewed a bunch of sources from a quick (and not extensive) search, and it looks like it may vary by district, but I'm seeing sources (across different years) with averages as high as 13% and as low as 8%. I don't know where I was getting my number, but I thought it was more like 43%. Even 13% is shite. 8% is abysmal. So sad.

I'm not arguing that state and local levels don't have any impact. There's no doubt that they do, but imagine if federal funding was double or triple what it is now. The outcomes could be so much better, even in places like MS where the government is actively working against its people.

Edit: I also agree with where you seemed to be heading, which is that there should be some national minimums both or education content and how funding is spent.

No wonder they're insecure with you calling them idiots all the time.

Funding does impact what, how, and by whom kids are taught. A large portion of education funding is federal.

 

I've seen others recently, but the two I saw today are a Capital One commercial and a Progressive commercial.

In the first, the Capital One guy is talking to a couple of people. He is asked what he does for fun, and he does not know what to say. Then, they cut to him getting ready to sleep at the bank.

Another is the Progressive commercial where Flo talks with another woman about vacations. The other woman doesn't seem to know what a vacation is. Flo begins describing what one is. In the end, she says she doesn't really know, gives up, and says she's never been on one either.

I was thinking about them while driving and came to the title thought.
