Part of my frustration is the board's fixation on Trump and national political theater in lieu of being concerned about state and local policies that have much greater impacts on our daily lives.

False. My local area is doing just fine. Basic services are doing fine. Area is tastefully growing. Crime is low. Rif raft is nipped in the bud and not placed in a revolving door.

State is moving forward. Working to phase out the state income tax. Infrastructure is being maintained and improved. Education is climbing the rankings and passing many of the snobby blue states they look down their noses at us. Got a state auditor that is a fraud finding bloodhound. Pro business government. Population with access to fiber internet Is now 22% higher than the national average.

So then what is left to discuss?

That's sort of the fun of blaming all bad things someone does or that might happen to them on the "system" ain't it?

---

I didn't do this either.

edit: BUT, that's part of how systemic problems persist. There isn't one culprit. And there may not be many purposefully bad actors. The way our society is stratified, there will always be winners and losers.

Are you suggesting there is some possible alternate way to "stratify" society such that there wouldn't be?

Thanks for giving me permission to post about local issues.

It's not permission, it's advice, albeit worth the electricity cost to display the pixels on the screen.

The idea of catching more flies with honey than vinegar is obviously lost on you, which is why no one cares what you have to say, even when you bring up valid points.

It seems like most of the posts on these 40+ pages contain insults about my personal life and character that no one can possibly know or verify.

Like you don't do the same.

I'm explicitly stating that there are observable patterns in our society that tend to impact certain groups of individuals negatively

And then there is a movement that collectively, nationwide, raised enough money for a certain group that would have been enough money to pave every last mile of interstate highway in the United States with some left over. As much as 220 million alone from a single donor.

And there is not so much as a national scholarship fund that has been founded to show for it. No job programs. No youth engagement programs. No assistance programs. No diversion programs. Nothing.

The corporate pledged money to this movement alone could have ran the entire state of Mississippi, on this years budget, for 6 and a half years with zero other funding.

And they are the "disenfranchised".

And here you are, having to teach your students, for what? Where are the organizations that got these billions of dollars that is supposed to be doing that? Hmm?

I don't. How the hell would I know about your life if you didn't post it here?

You get much of it wrong, your "napkin math" skills aren't very good.

Additionally, I find it mildly entertaining that the things you attempt to blast or shame me for are very much similar to your favorite felon's background. Disadvantaged childhood, poor socioeconomic upbringing, dropout/GED, early parenthood... yet you make fun of me. Is it because I'm not a black male?

it is 48 pages, so plenty of traction. Not as much as that homeless guy gave her on the couch tho

I was never going to read 48 pages.

I have no idea what the homeless guy story is.

If you didn't respond to most of my posts by being such an a-hole,

I don't. I did one or two times a while ago.

But it's messed up that someone with your history feels emboldened to judge another woman so harshly just because other posters do.

---

Again, I don't. And have not done so in this thread.

quote:

And you bring up the homeless guy and bike thing pretty frequently for having no idea what either of those are even about.

---

Again, I do not.

The only thing she hates more than white Christian males, is another woman.

Don’t doubt me, she needs all the attention exclusively. Some women post selfies ad nauseam for attention, she post crap on PT.
