Seems to me Israel should quit shelling, open up the escape routes with a heavy police and military presence to identify known Hamas members and sympathizers trying to exit, and arrest them. Give it a few days, then go in and clear the place out. Unfortunately, that's a really nasty, bloody way to root out terrorists. But you're never going to win hearts and minds when the world can look at the news and see dead Palestinian kids. Even when they know Hamas is ultimately responsible for the bloodshed.

Who is building all those private schools? Who decides the curriculum? How many private schools are available to poor inner city kids, or poor rural kids?

Paid for by taxpayers?

If people are vocally supporting HAMAS then fock them. They suck. If they're doing it peacefully, they have the right to do so, though. Like we have the right to call them out for it. I suspect a lot of people, myself included, do NOT support Hamas, but also don't support indiscriminate butchery of people that had nothing to do with the attacks, especially Palestinian children.

That's not what I'm talking about. I'm trying to engage you politely, which is probably a mistake, so prove you can do the same without the name calling. The discussion is that some posters here feel as if schools should be run by corporations, not the government. My question is, if you wanna keep public education free for students, how does that work? What's the profit incentive for a company to do this?

I'm too busy to play your games. Show me a link if you're talking about something specific. Otherwise fock off.

Because it's been shown for centuries that when money is involved, ethics are quickly forgotten. I'll ask again- where is the profit in education if the student's aren't paying tuition?

Nice. Give him all three. Not that he'd GAF. This is just about self promotion with that slicked-up pedo. He and Trump are perfect teammates.

MAGAmooks think memes are legitimate sources of information and use them to support their own feeble beliefs.

You'll pardon me for being apprehensive over classes like Ethics- brought to you by Bain Capital, Social Studies sponsored by Smith & Wesson, or horticulture from ConAgra.

If he's a good employee, give him the benefit of the doubt. Trusting your staff goes a long way as a manager. If you treat everyone this way, you'll have better results. You can also expect to get burned by a few that DGAF, but that's the cost of doing business.

What's the profit incentive for privatized education? I get you're one of the "less government, let the market take care of the problem more efficiently" guys, but I would file this under something in which the profit-driven nature of corporations would work against the best interests of the students. Unless you have an idea to share.

Your non-answer speaks volumes.

Great post. 100% agree. I'm sure you'll disagree, but I'd throw at least a basic level of healthcare into that mix. Basically IMO the government is there to support things in which corporate profit margin is at odds with the public good. Healthcare, infrastructure, cops, clean air and water, preservation, and national defense. The bureaucracy required to do so should be kept lean.

Thanks. From you, the absolute reigning queen of intellectual ineptitude, an opinion on only that subject carries weight. Roughly the same weight as a di<kless dancing dwarf.

She'll be testifying against him for sure.

Goddammit you're right about Brie Larson. I want to love her cuz she's sexy and I like Marvel movies, but yeah. Bad actress. I won't argue over the other 2, but I don't get my manly jollies looking at either like I do Ms. Larson.

Yikes. FA....FO.

Dammit! I should've been able to piece that joke together.

See above. You wanna take a shot at explaining the epic ineptitude?

Funny. Pretty sure I've never referred to myself as moderate, only independent. I lean left, obviously. But I've never voted straight ticket other than 2020. Can you illuminate us all as to what the Republican Party is actually DOING about anything? They love to talk shlt about everything to the left of Ronald Reagan, who'd never survive a Republican primary today, but what do they GET DONE legislatively? Tax cuts for the wealthy. Nothing else.

Not sure I'd go that far. Tlaib and Omar are awful, and I'd never vote for either. Unless their opponent was Trump. I do not agree with their positions, especially regarding Palestine/Israel. But at least they're honest about their convictions. The only convictions Trump has are the ones he'll be seeing handed down by future juries.

Sad but true. Last two Republican presidents have been abysmal failures in so many ways. Republican Party would have been dead and buried by 2006 if it wasn't for Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, and their respective clones. This party is so stupid and ineffectual that they make Dems look like world class leaders in comparison. Think for a minute how completely fukked up that is.

She has agreed to testify against other defendants if called. Part of her plea deal.

There's people posting in this thread that STILL believe her. Can you imagine?
