They already made him a king and there's still 5 other Con justices so...

 

No worries yet, Illieni. You're still way ahead of Mississippi, dawg.

We are so ********ed....

Nate Cohn says if the Supreme Court slashes the Voting Rights Act further in a case they’ll hear next month, Republicans could gerrymander eight more safe seats in the South.

 

If there is a war here its going to be fought with drones and the side with manufacturing capability and the one that doesn't believe that science is a tool of the Devil will be at an advantage.

 

Our Blue State ICs will be so conflicted

The rhetoric on the Right against CommieLibFascists has been so toxic for decades (hate radio/TV, intertubes) that they're just itching for a reason to kick it off

 

Even in red states the important infrastructure is in blue areas. People in red areas aren't going to do so well without access to refined products.

Little known fact. The US is now the world's largest exporter of refined products.

 

In what planet Mississippi will have a better education system that Illinois? Their education system is a discrimatory one, aimed to keep the black population as second class citizens...

 

it was a study about improvement, Mississippi has implemented some educational reforms that showed their students have improved more then many other states (top 3 and 5 if I remember correctly)

Obviously they have more room to improve since they start from a lower level, and the study controlled by demographics, so black students in Mississippi did better than black students in other wealthier states.

According to the first news story above, the superintendent that helped Mississippi improve is now in the Maryland school system, and Maryland is implementing some of the same reforms, maybe we will see improvements in their school system also, and as soccernutter posted above, we will have to see if Mississippi can maintain this improvements.

The second article is about Illinois looking at Mississippi and implementing at least one of their literacy programs in 2023.

 

The weird idea that some red-state residents have where New Yorkers would starve if it wasn't for Iowa or wherever is asinine. Singapore does fine without an agricultural hinterland, for example.

But, the US is wealthy in large part because of how well the rural, suburban and urban economies are integrated. No reasonable adult would want to disrupt that.

 

But I keep seeing bumper stickers that say "No Farms, No Food", as if money doesn't exist.

 

I know that if I had to defend myself against an entire school's students at close range, a bullpup would be a better option.

 

Buy more ammo.

 

Maybe not for you.

 

How are people in the UK fighting back?

 

Against what?

 

Baked beans for breakfast. That's horrific.

 

I think it goes well with the rest of the traditional British breakfast.

 

This isn’t the unpopular opinions thread, bro.
