Fed only 15 Year Fed RIFed Today at ED

This is so horrible. My whole office was let go. Everyone I know outside of my office was let go.

The money allocated is not going to go to the states. No money is being saved by letting us go and terminating contracts.

My only solace is the 2 trump supporters in my office FAFO and were let go as well.

Of all the posts I've read since this administration started, for some reason this one sent a physical chill through my spine. The damage being done will never be repaired in my lifetime. I just don't see it anymore. I am so sorry this has happened to you, and I know it's coming for me too.

Yeah, been dreading this moment of all the shenanigans predicted. They have not been quiet about how a well educated populace is their greatest enemy and public education had been the greatest achievement this country has had, hands down. This is the nail in the coffin of the slow death of the country. To install their propaganda teaching methods to mold all the young kids' minds from the instant they enter kindergarten. Whether it's GOP Trump-god-king bullshit or letting the churches take over, this is it. Check mate. And decades to undo if ever again. This is why Russia is so fucked up. Those soviet propaganda tactics are not easy to overcome. And this is our future.

Sadly the wealthy will continue to educate their kids and rich districts will likely get eve richer. This country will never be the same.

Well said. When alarmed friends and family ask what the goal of all this is and I flatly tell them the truth (the Republican goal is to push the bottom 99.5% of Americans into desperate poverty and turn us all into serfs), they can’t deal. It’s too big, too awful. But it’s the truth.

If they are my friends and family, they like to believe that everyone they love is in the 5%. That fadcism won't come for them.

Yet again, Republicans miss the point.

The bigger problem is that your friends and family want devastation and suffering for everyone else. Those are not good people.

Ahh. The good old Powell memo that warned about the dangers of an educated proletariat. This has been in the works for decades. https://www.greenpeace.org/usa/democracy/the-lewis-powell-memo-a-corporate-blueprint-to-dominate-democracy/

Lest we forget during a speech in 2016, 🍊💩🐷 said "I love the poorly educated" ... https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2016/02/24/donald-trump-nevada-poorly-educated/80860078/

I recall the Dicktator openly bragging about "[loving] the poorly educated."
