imagine sitting around watching that whole john galt speech on tv

it makes me think of the qanon types who expect everyone to be glued to their tvs watching show trials and executions day and night because boomers can't imagine not watching tv

My brother who just had a kid, his wife is a teacher at the elementary school where I went

poo poo school, no resources, horribly impoverished community

She's mid-career and makes $38K a year

seems very depressing

it's worse than you think

edit I posted this in Covid thread but:

One of our teachers just nuked his own career in an email to the entire faculty accusing the principal of stealing money from employees (!) pandemic sick days I guess were the root of the issue

Anyone who reads Ayn Rand books has the mentality of a high schooler.

Yes I read two of her books right out of high school when I worked third shift. Thankfully I learned my lesson and transitioned to Philip K Dick and The Teachings of Don Juan by Carlos Castaneda.

the number of teacher absences this week is absurd.

they asked me to come in even though my wife is positive and I am, allegedly, not.

I will not be shocked if we go to distance learning simply because of the number of absences.

(I told them I cannot in good conscience go in.)

One of the schools in NYC had to do that. Our new mayor is not happy, but what the gently caress were they supposed to do?

My "vacation" is a euphemism for war tourism in Ukraine for some "bloody work" to escape my boring techie job and family.

Ask me about my warcrimes.

Reminds me of when I was in the military and all the enlisted types on food stamps and that's with the tax free exchange to shop at. "But you get free healthcare and a pension" right lololol. You're straight hosed until you can hit E-5 and pull BAH and even then shits odd.

being a teacher seems like one of those careers, you know, you go to school for 4 years and you plan on being a teacher in one school for your whole life, its a big personal investment in both your own education and your overall lifestyle, and a critical job for society to function. all so you can earn poverty wages and struggle your entire life. america sucks man

and then to top it off many seek additional levels of education for, at best, modest increases in income.

like going from 4-year to doctorate only gets you from like $38k to $68k for the low low cost of thousands and thousands of dollars in additional debt and stress.

it’s a crime how we treat these people
