I work with CPS as a vendor (as little as possible). Complete shit-show. Make you jump through ridiculous, ever-changing hoops to do business, never pay bills in a timely manner, etc.
Enrollment has tanked over the last 15 years, but staff is up, nonstop.
Aside from making far more than most of the kids parents, 3x the national average (30% va 10%) of these ‘all for the children’ teachers send their own kids to private schools.
CPS is the Chicago Way.
I couldn’t agree more. I found bitcoin in August of 2020, and almost 5 years later, the change in the trajectory of my life is astonishing. Better health, wealthier, happier, better family life, better spiritual life. I’ll ‘retire’ (read: do the work I want to do), at least 10-15 years earlier.
The only draw back I’ve experienced, is things are forever changed with my normie friends. We’re still friends, but I find myself spending a lot of effort not saying what I’m thinking.
I did the orange-pilling attempt. 3/4 ignored or dismissed it. A few said, ‘I gotta do that’, but never will because they have no focus. One or two are stacking.
I’ve said my piece.
Starmer is that guy in your group who lives in absolute fear of getting ditched or left out, lol.
Calls or texts when he pulls up at the bar to ask, ‘you guys in there?’ because he is too timid to walk in alone. 😂
Poor UK
Is America the only place where we name everything ‘Indo-Pak’ and get along?
Where were they together - University, some WEF sleepover, Wednesday Addams look-a-like contest…????
Yes. Family first is exactly what is needed. Would take care of most.
None of this should be handled by government.
Up until around the late 19th century, it was charity - largely through churches - that took care of those who could not support themselves, for all the various reasons universal to fallen mankind.
And, no, I’m not suggesting we shift funding from XYZ program to churches and not-for-profits. (And I applaud VP Vance for calling our own bishops out of running this game for the last 50+ years).
We - each, individually - need to put our money where our mouths and hearts are.
Saint of the Day
April 25.— ST. MARK, Evangelist. St. Mark was converted to the Faith by the Prince of the Apostles, whom he afterwards accompanied to Rome, acting there as his secretary or interpreter. When St. Peter was writing his first epistle to the churches of Asia, he affectionately joins with his own salutation that of his faithful companion, whom he calls "My son Mark.” The Roman people entreated St. Mark to put in writing for them the substance of St. Peter's frequent discourses on Our Lord's life. This the Evangelist did under the eye and with the express sanction of the apostle, and every page of his brief but graphic gospel so bore the impress of St. Peter's character, that the Fathers used to name it "Peter's Gospel" St. Mark was now sent to Egypt to found the Church of Alexandria. Here his disciples became the wonder of the world for their piety and asceticism, so that St. Jerome speaks of St. Mark as the father of the anchorites, who at a later time thronged the Egyptian deserts. Here, too, he set up the first Christian school, the fruitful mother of many illustrious doctors and bishops. After governing his see for many years, St. Mark was one day seized by the heathen, dragged by ropes over stones, and thrown into prison. On the morrow the torture was repeated, and having been consoled by a vision of angels and the voice of Jesus, St. Mark went to his reward. It is to St. Mark that we owe the many slight touches which often give such vivid coloring to the Gospel scenes, and help us to picture to ourselves the very gestures and looks of our blessed Lord. It is he alone who notes that in the temptation Jesus was “with the beasts;" that He slept in the boat "on a pillow;" that He "embraced" the little children. He alone preserves for us the commanding words “Peace, be still!" by which the storm was quelled; or even the very sounds of His voice, the "Ephpheta" and "Talitha cumi," by which the dumb were made to speak and the dead to rise. So, too, the "looking round about with anger," and the "sighing deeply," long treasured in the memory of the penitent apostle, who was himself converted by his Savior's look, are here recorded by his faithful interpreter.

Thank you!! That tied in the bits I knew to what I didn’t.
Pray cooler heads prevail
Dumb this down for a Yank, please.
Congratulations and all the best to nostr:nprofile1qqsvf646uxlreajhhsv9tms9u6w7nuzeedaqty38z69cpwyhv89ufcqprfmhxue69uhkummnw3ezummjv9hxwetsd9kxctnyv4mqzyrhwden5te0dehhxarj9emkjmn9geggjz
Good still can come from the Prairie State!
Imagine a world where people do things like this, so frequently, that it is remarked upon as little as the rising and setting of the sun.
Completely! The original reaction to them is emblematic of whats wrong with people.
It is striking when I get together with my friends, to see how insanely high their time preferences are. Impatience, Imprudence, and impulsive.
And I know I used to be just like that.

I miss my life being that simple
This needs to be heard in the midwest 😂
I work with (American) schools. While I trust *some* of the private ones to teach it, absolutely not in the government schools. Sooner they go away the better.
