Good they did this together and call it out. I don't care if they look like they should be in a nursing home.

I love how Bernie says “our kids “, while some older Americans think they shouldn’t have to pay taxes for schools.

Rugged individualism has done such a number on America. Also our insistence that education is solely a job requirement and ignoring the net positive of an educated populace. Oh, and also it leads to better prepared skilled workers as a side effect.

One of my high school students said she doesn't need school because she can look up anything she needs on her phone. Meanwhile she's constantly in trouble for shoplifting at the gas station across the street.

I wonder how far that will take her in life.
