Not that the deficit is something to be scared of, since the fed. govt can never be unable to pay its debts; but it does matter whether you give money to the rich or invest it in making the society stronger.
We could do this, too, if we actually cared.
“In Finland, the # of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” thebetter.news/housing-first…
Good graphic. But a person who makes less than what they need to live on (eg $41k depending on location) shouldn't have to pay any taxes at all. livingwage.mit.edu/

Most of what is taught in HS isn't useful to most students.
Not surprising: college profs outside the STEM fields rate linear functions, exponential functions, and stats as more widely useful and important than trig or calc.

We ditched our gas stove for an induction stove and it's MUCH BETTER FOR COOKING on top of having the advantage of not poisoning us or contributing to global warming.

Breathtaking summary of the extensive grift by Ivanka and Jared.

Billionaires spent almost $1B on the midterms.
That isn’t "support the candidates you believe in" kind of money. It’s “buy a Congress to pass even more tax cuts for the rich” kind of money.
To save our democracy, we need to tax the ultra-rich NOW. fortune.com/2022/12/09/billi…

Me too! #CLR .@LSAlliance_chi
#lessonstudy has brought me tough teaching problems to solve and a community of friends to work together on them. This is hard work, but it’s joyful, and I’m so grateful for all y’all.
Japanese elementary teachers are hired by the district and are expected to switch schools every ~5 years. Principals switch ~3 years. Helps ensure equity! #LSIP2022
Japanese elementary teachers typically change grade levels frequently, eventually teaching every grade 1-6. They may loop one year with their students, but not more than 1. #LSIP2022
