The USA remains one of the worst educated countries – unless you are rich and can afford one of the top schools. The general population is ignorant of science and maths and has a low literacy rate. Ranked 31st in the world way behind the UK and other European countries.
Despite being the world’s top economy there is no money for education because the Billionaires take a huge proportion (increased their wealth by 60% while ordinary people struggle) and a huge chunk goes on WAR!!
Since the war began on February 28, U.S. forces have launched more than 7,800 airstrikes targeting Iran’s navy, missile stockpiles and defence infrastructure
Missile Type
Approx. Cost
Source
ICBM (Sentinel program)
$141 billion (program cost)
Standard Missile‑2 (SM‑2)
~$2 million each
Cruise missiles
Between $1.8 million and $2 million,
S‑500 system
$2.5 billion
So next time you see those missiles going off in Iran – each one is a school!
The world is being run by the most despicable. All they care about is money. They think all people are expendable idiots they can manipulate and fool in order to make themselves richer and richer.
It seems that 47.8 per cent of Americans approve of Mr Trump releasing fascist murderers who storm government buildings and misogynistic rapists who traffic sex workers, the destruction of national parks, giving trillions to billionaires, the sacking of scientists, removal of all environmental monitoring and pollution safeguards, the avoidance of democratic process by using executive orders and the reward for Russia in its invasion of Ukraine, bombing of hospitals and schools, kidnapping of children and torture and slaughter of civilians. They prefer conspiracy theories and lies rather than science and truth. They like tariffs on friends, trade wars and betrayals. They prefer oil and outdated polluting industries to 21st century renewables (losing sight of the future and heading for the past). They are OK with dumping allies, bullying friends and supporting communist dictators.
I don’t know about Make America Great Again – it’s more like Make Trump Insanely Rich and make America incredibly Selfish and Greedy.
America seems to be turning into an untrustworthy totalitarian regime without any moral scruples. Money talks. People are there to exploit. Everything is propaganda, lies and fake news. The rich get richer and the poor go to the wall.
Morality?? There isn’t any! They are OK with a criminal rapist as a President; a man who routinely lies and sides with despotic enemies like Putin and Yung Un.
Ignorance?? It abounds. Defund schools, control the media, shut down science and no longer monitor anything. What they don’t know can be lied about. If it means a few billion more into the Trump and Musk coffers who cares about the cost?
That you have witnessed all the thousand and one other manifestations of corruption and low moral character and outright animalistic rudeness and contempt for you, the working American voter, and you still show up grinning and wearing your MAGA hats and threatening to beat up anybody who says otherwise.

What you don’t get, Trump supporters, is that our succumbing to frustration and shaking our heads, thinking of you as stupid, may very well be wrong and unhelpful, but it’s also…hear me…charitable.
Because if you’re NOT stupid, we must turn to other explanations, and most of them are less flattering.

Some things that come out of the writings of that misogynistic Stone-Age Arab culture still make sense. It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter heaven.
Well I don’t believe in heaven but I do believe that the likes of Musk deserve to be vilified forever. Their greed and profiteering create the mess we all live in. The man has no conscience!
Their is no such thing as morality on the right wing of politics. The right represents selfishness and unadulterated greed. Compassion and empathy are swear words. Fairness is weakness. It’s survival of the fittest and stamp the poor into the ground. They exist to be exploited.
The right are a bunch of elitist profiteers put in place by gullible wannnabes.
I want a fairer, more compassionate world. I want compassion and protection of the weak.
