I know about balanced literacy and such but wasn't fully aware of some of the political aspects apparently. It's actually kind of odd given many of those leading the charge on the "science of reading" are liberal leaning or at least come from more liberal institutions (though definitely not...

I know this isn't your main point but what do you mean by this?

Yup plus they all just come across as "adults" in a room full of children. I think no matter which party or even platform the next president runs on/comes from they need to be a low drama president. I think most Americans are exhausted or will be by the end of this term.

Unfortunately I think I agree. Still think the Dems should run one of Beshear Buttigieg Shapiro Whitmer It just would be nice to have a low drama presidency

This is a quote from the article you sighted. There obviously is a trend but i think calling Miami and Austin the future financial capitals or even assuming a trend will continue for 20 years is a big assumption. It's all possible but I wouldn't say its close to inevitable.

Not directed at you at all, but these numbers and these arguments are way more complicated than people like to think. Age of population, federal contracts and other factors can strongly impact these numbers. Virginia is a good example because they have a ton of defense money flowing into the...

Not sure that fully fixes the issue but it would at least be a start. You'd still need shareholders to actually care and to be informed.

I don't think Iran is a good example. That is a very specific situation that includes a lot of outside influence from the UK and US.

Their QB is highly overrated IMO

Certainly agree for early childhood education. I think it may be more complicated past that though. Background knowledge is really important for being able to read at higher levels. There is a lot of backing for the idea that we need "knowledge rich" curriculums. Basically, you need to know...

Not in education but I understand most of this. This is all a quick hit. There is a lot more detail that can go into all of this. - Literacy-Based Promotion Act - Basically they are testing kids and making sure they can read and aren't just pushing them through to 4th grade if they can't read...

Yeah, I did not know about this guy but his history is very concerning to me. At least from what I've read so far. At the very least he seems to lack some judgment skills

The sentence in the article about the assassination attempt. Idk much about her. But if this interaction is all it takes for someone to be deserving of being in an insane asylum I think you would find half the population in an insane asylum.

Maybe a hot take but Reps in particular annoy me. Idk much about her, I'll admit, but I often find that the dumbest takes/quotes from politicians on capital hill often come from the House.

We can agree to disagree on the purpose of that sentence if you'd like. But the intent to me is clear, it is to make her comments seem like something they aren't. Also, Idk if in my original post I said tie and edited it or something but I said "attach" not "tie".
