My local taxes say y'all got shit tons of money. The schools just do an absolute shit job blowing it on other things besides walls and salaries for the teachers.

Well, it's also kind of shitty teacher pay is based on taxpayer contribution! I get it, publicly funded locally vs federally for ICE, also idk how bad ICE pay was before Trump.
Not to mention the unmentioned difference between number of teachers and number of ICE goons making that salary.
I’m all for teachers making more money. I think pay should be based on need and workload. Teachers rank high in both.
But the argument above is not great argument. It uses something I hate, something I agree with, and makes a false equivalency argument out of both. As inclined as I am to agree, the argument could be a lot better
Idk I kinda get it:
Federal salary employee that teaches young people to be intelligent members of a future society they'll grow up to create:
Peasant pay, overloaded classrooms, stripped authority over class disruptors. 😭🍎📚
Federal salary employee that yanks families apart and throws kids in the back of vans to get shipped to concentration camps, and sometimes just shoots people because they were having a bad day and didn't feel the customer service spirit:
SIX DIGITS AND A SIGNING BONUS BAYBEEEE💰💰💵🤑 (AIR_HORN.WAV x 5)
Our taxes fund both and they choose how to spend it.
It shows where the government's priorities are, and it's quite telling how they feel about We the People and our children.
I shouldn’t have to fucking care what they think about me and my children. God fucking damn it.
Absolutely.
We the people are endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights, among these: Being left TF alone.
But they really can't seem to handle just letting people be, can they? They've always gotta be manipulating and incarcerating and exploiting and killing others to feel like they're worth anything.
What are you trying to say? Public school teacher's salaries are funded federally. Also, the cost of the Iran War alone could help pay teachers more. Instead trump's goon squad is cutting education and making it more christian.
The truth is that it depends on whether the teacher is working for a private or a public school. If he or she belongs to a public school, the money he receives comes from the government, related and concerned government agencies, and the taxes of the people of the United States. Same goes for all the maintenance crew, cafeteria servants, guards, and all the staff of the school. On the other hand, teachers who work for a private school get their salary from the school itself. The money being paid to them comes from the students

JOIN THEM — please work to take them down from the inside, Mr. Snowden.
that's how people disappear in the desert.
no thanks.
Well… you gotta be stealthy and subtle about it. Just use the N word a lot. You’ll be fine.
Only if you're not the one taking them to the desert
The wealthy aristocracy that controls both parties needs a paramilitary police force in the streets to quell the inevitable uprisings that will occur once enough Americans realize that the aristocracy has dispensed with economic populism and constitutional order
Downvote for advertising ICE?
They don't want use to be prosperous, they wants us to be compliant and accepting of the station they will give to us. To unquestioningly toil in dangerous environments similar to cyberpunk themes. Until we break this two party system and their billionaire hold on us we'll never advance as a race.

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.
