A Voucher program that would allow the money to instead to go to a private or homeschool community would be a huge step in the right direction. The schools should be fighting to be the best in the area that people want to send their kids to.
Maybe youre right? I wont say I am 100% correct. If we keep getting worse at the current rate then yes, people will adapt and we will keep slipping down this slope. We even got worse under trump (vaccines and gun laws for example). The only way I see people starting a revolution is if it gets bad and keeps getting worse without relief.
I don't think it matters who runs for president when elections are rigged. Local votes are the only things that matter as far as voting is concerned. We just need this whole thing to burn to the ground as quickly as possible so that we can start building something decent again. Fuck Trump, Fuck Desantis, Fuck Biden. Biden will make things miserable for people and burn it down the quickest so vote for him.
As a Christian, I would also forgive my son of this, or pretty much anything else. We've all fucked up. I've been forgiven so I should forgive.
However, forgiving someone doesn't mean that I'm going to allow that person to harm myself and my family. You still have to take who they are as a person into your decision making process.
Do whatever you can to help him out of the brainwashing. Armchair quarterback moment, but this needed to be handled way earlier in life.
I was on that career path in college. My advice if you love science and math is to learn sql and go a dba certification route. Or if youre willing to work from the ground up, start at a hospital working a helpdesk and get promoted from within. Most hospitals are generous with religious exemptions. Find a hospitsl system that uses epic as their hospital emr. Get some epic certifications and after a couple of years, become a consultant. Dont work for epic, just get the certs by working for a hospital system that has it and get promoted to the point where you get a relevent cert.
Of all my friends, I don't know of a single one that regularly consumes media coming out of Hollywood. We consume plenty of older media and support indie games and films. There is rarely a good film that comes out, I would say a one every other year, that I'll watch. (A quiet place being the latest movie, but I have low hopes for it's sequel)
"People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything.
Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true.
People's heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true.
People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool."
You're so right about it being possible but really difficult.
I personally did it complete with million dollar hospital bills and at times it was almost impossible. This was a decade ago, I would wager it's even harder today.
I wish we would encourage / incentivize mom's that wanted to stay at home instead of divorce.
Hopefully God brings them to know him, and He definitely can.
And such were some of you.
