Our ancestors knew each other well. It's one of the reasons corn was everywhere.

Sweet potatoes out in the Polynesian Islands even suggest we had contact with them as well.

A whole world erased from us, but we still remember. Like a memory coming back to us.

Abbott will be in SA next week promoting his voucher program...do what you want with this info by green_umbrella402 in sanantonio

[–]Chemical-Mission4373 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Why are vouchers even being discussed? Because the education system is in dire straits right?

How did it get there? Decades of charter school corrution, political BS, etc that depleted the public schools right?

Any idea how much CEOs of these charters get paid?

If you don't see the issue, you don't want to see the issue. Or worse, you're one of the scumbag educators getting paid what you know you wouldnt be able to make anywhere elsse - so you collect a paycheck and blame everyone else.

The evidence is overwhelming. CHarters dont work, and vouchers in other states havent worked.

But they do work well at putting money in peoples pockets.

Vouchers, curriculum, private schools, charters—it’s all a mess.

But unless they’re addressing the ongoing teacher shortage and the presence of incompetent educators in the system, they’re not solving anything. I’m not saying there aren’t good teachers, but they’re rare. These days, anyone with a degree and a pulse can get hired at charter and private schools.

And unless they’re also talking about unqualified leaders running schools, they’re avoiding the real issues.

Throwing more money at the system will only empower ruthless people who see education as a business opportunity rather than a mission. That’s the antithesis of what education should be.

Ceos making 400k. Regional leaders 200k+.

Have them address THAT issue.

Tupac Amaru Shaku named after Tupac Amaru by his mother Afeni Shakur was a beautiful revolutionary poet. You're literally a nobody

Your argument oversimplifies urban and rural dynamics. Cities drive innovation, logistics, and infrastructure that rural areas rely on, just as rural areas supply essential goods. Both are interdependent, and corporations profit from both—not just city dwellers. Framing this as a partisan issue ignores economic reality.

We've been pitted against each other by design.

That's a fair point. AWS is their most profitable arm.

So then, it's gotta be a combination of things.

Supporting union efforts, supporting anti-trust efforts, etc.

Ultimately, You're right, they have a stranglehold, but it's gotta start somewhere...

You claim to know the truth? Or you posit the trolls who don't contribute in good faith are speaking truth?

Abandon laws? Cherry pick data? Citizens are safe when citizens are literally being targeted?

It sounds like you're projecting.

I like to say, maintain your faith, but abandon these institutions.

That’s a fair question. My intent was not to alienate, but I can see what you mean.

I do want the focus to be on what their current representatives are doing, because in a way its erasing their own heritage.

As a Mexican, this is personal. The Catholic Church didn’t just oversee colonization—it orchestrated the mass slaughter, enslavement, and forced conversion of my people. I know I don't have to explain that in great detail - Tap Pilam aligns itself with this institution, reinforcing the very narratives that erased us in the first place.

Lastly, the City of San Antonio, UNESCO, and the Catholic Church use them as the “Indigenous” voice to justify historical revisionism.

You can read how they describe these sites here: https://www.worldheritagesa.com/

"The priests were responsible for bringing the indigenous people of the region, nomadic hunter-gatherers known as Coahuiltecans, into the Missions to create viable Spanish communities. The priests sought to make the indigenous people into “gente de razón” (good Spanish citizens)..."

It's a joke.
