Vice President Harris just posted on Facebook about Education, and about how the Biden Administration is investing in Education for our people; I told her that 25% of the adults in Kentucky cannot read and write, while at the same time 20% of the new immigrants in Arkansas have a college degree, so we need to hire our new immigrants to teach our people how to read and write, and we need to build libraries and schools and we need to educate our people.

I had a wonderful Professor for American History who was from Haiti, we have some wonderful teachers who are immigrants who can teach our people in Kentucky, Arkansas, Tennessee, etc.

And I told her that Ben Franklin did Science Experiments for fun, and Henry David Thoreau lived by a pond and wrote Philosophy, etc.

We need to teach our people how to read and write, and we need to teach them about Athens, and about Rome, and about Euclidean Geometry, etc, and there is so much wonderful stuff to teach our people. And our immigrants can help to teach our people, 20% of our new immigrants in Arkansas have a college degree and they can be teachers.

Salute,

Tony V.

Why has Kentucky done such a poor job?

The CARS Legislation would prevent that.

No it would not because no one is being FORCED to buy an EV.

No one.   Welcome to right wing sophistry.  All EPA standards do is push manufacturers to raise their average MPG on vehicles they sell.  Something that benefits everyone who likes to fill their gas tank and have something left over.  Many of the innovations of the past few decades were driven by mileage requirements.   Benefitting all those working class people Ward professes to care about.

The Environmental Protection Agency wants to finalize its proposed vehicle emissions rule that would limit what kind of cars Americans can buy.
 The CARS Act would also amend the Clean Air Act to prohibit the agency from mandating the use of any specific technologies or limiting the availability of new motor vehicles based on the type of new motor vehicle engine in such new motor vehicles.

Can you and YankGuy show some sign of knowing what this idiotic Biden Administration is doing to destroy democracy.

Having lost the culture war, the war on Christmas, the abortion issue, the economic arguments, their credibility, the trust of the American people, their fucking minds, Red is in addition admitting that they have lost on border security and immigration with this desperate pivot to an anti EV crusade.

It bodes well for the future if we keep kicking fascists where ever the pasty bastards show up.

Keep marching

I do not understand why we have not educated our people better. And I loved school, I loved my teachers, and I loved the beautiful women, and I enjoy learning and growing. We need for the young men to appreciate getting an education, you cannot just get by as a coal miner anymore, and also an education is great. They can drink wine and they can discuss Euclidean Geometry, etc. And Poetry, and Theatre, etc. And film, and music, etc.

Bambu, watch the movie "Summer Lovers" with Daryl Hannah, we can build that same housing in Battle Mountain, Nevada, and we could have swimming pools and tennis courts, and libraries, and movie theatres, etc, etc, etc. We can have a Commune in Battle Mountain that can be like Greece out in the middle of Nevada on the Cowboy Highway.

Education is fun. Science is fun. Space exploration is fun, high speed trains are fun, electric cars are fun. Jet planes are fun. Philosophy is fun. Etc. They can study everything in Kentucky, and in Arkansas, and in Battle Mountain, Nevada.

Also, Playboy Magazine needs to bring in some great young geniuses from National Lampoon at Harvard and they need to save Playboy, and Universal can buy Playboy and they can bring back the Playboy Channel, and one new series for the Playboy Channel can be the Slocum Westerns by Jake Logan, Hef loved the Slocum Westerns, they are Westerns with hot beautiful women, so the Slocum Westerns can be made at Universal and the series can be shown on the new Playboy Channel that can be made at Universal Studios here in Hollywood, California.

Salute,

Tony V.

"Euclidean geometry"?
Yikes.
That sounds like one step down from "rocket science".

I was flying at school, until I was 12, ...until I hit high school.
In the first three years HS was OK, there was an exam "Intermediate Certificate" end of the third year. And 15, I passed (about 70% in every subject).
You were given a Certficate.
Then, you could legally leave school...which the future mrs bambu did, in a very rural area. Moved to the big city to attend "Business college"...shorthand/typing/ basic bookwork-accounting/receptionist/telephonist.
Like Dolly and the gals in the movie '9 to 5'.

Most of the boys in my all-boys high school were 13 going on 7 when they hit high school, and 18 going on 10 when they left.
'Mommy's boys'...no idea much about girls, no idea much about the rest of the world, certainly not much idea about life beyond school, or the workforce.
You did what your parents told you, "seen but not heard" most of the time.

Boys whose parents were wealthy enough to send them to private schools received a much better education, were absolutely better prepared for life, and did better in the workforce and "business" than those who attended public govt schools.
 
There should be basic HS education so every student graduates after 3 or 4 years, ("high school failure" is no recipe for prospective workforce success), then another 2 years for those wishing to be educated to a higher standard,  and/or attend university.
A Masters in Russian Literature has limited employment potential, seems to me.

You seem to be a degenerate idiot with a closed and tiny mind incapable of grasping most of what is going on around him. Now that you tell your story, it seems like a very natural progression as to how you have fallen and let yourself get so far behind. Best of luck to you and absolutely no nukes
