The 'merican way is to spend the first 18 years falling behind the rest of the world. The next four (for those who go to college) catching up. And anything beyond that pulling ahead. Makes for a highly stratified society in terms of skills, knowledge, productivity and income.
Called that one
What's most sad is the excitement liberals get when there is a new shooting they can politicize. Reminds me of when they were actively cheering on red state COVID deaths a couple years ago
you just answered why right wingers adore people like Trump and Elon.
They think Trump and Elon are intellectual individuals who "stick it to the establishment" and represent the small guy. They have money to do what your average joe can't. So they use it as an example to piggyback on them.
"AMERICA IS THE RICHEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, SO THAT MEANS OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM IS INHERENTLY BETTER THAN OTHER COUNTRIES".
I've never seen people piggyback and bandwagon on rich millionaires/billionaires that could care less about them, than right wing adoration for Trump, Elon, Rogan, etc.
Someone get this man a chop country medal!!!!
He called it everyone!!!!
He rightfully predicted that I think a possible sensible solution is seeing how others stop things could be a way to stop things
Amazing work from the absolute worst person that posts on this message board
We're totally excited to see mass shootings happen.
Just like we organize abortion parties to celebrate when our friends have abortions.
You got us.
Do you ever get embarrassed how much you think about Donald Trump?
This idea that “we never do anything” is so disingenuous.
In the past 10 years, New York passed a gun manufacturer liability law, a red flag law, the SAFE act - all loaded with provisions that gun control activists have clamored for for years. None of which prevented a white supremacist nutjob from shooting 13 people in Buffalo this month, using legally obtained weapons.
Scatterplot by state gun deaths rates vs gun ownership

That bottom outlier must either be Vermont, Wyoming, New Hampshire, or Idaho.
I know we are not supposed to care about gun violence in Chicago, but if strict gun laws were effective you'd think there wouldnt be nearly 250 killed in Chicago ytd
The outlier is Vermont.
All right, I'll spill the beans.
Based on the wiki data we had 1.1 mass shootings per year at schools in the 1990s. The good old days before rap music, social media, video games, smart phones, chaos on the southern border and favorable portrayal of trans people corrupted our yute.
Since then we have had 16 in 22 years (hope someone will double check my work).
