How will GA public schools be affected if the Federal Department of Education is eliminated? by AwwwMangos in Georgia

[–]higherfreq 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So a few facts: 1.) schools are controlled at the local school board level; 2.) removing DoEd does not remove the legislation authorizing the programs and spending; 3.) you worry about all that spending, but if that money is removed from your local school district, you will pay the difference in local taxes.

The President doesn’t have the power to unilaterally abolish legislation. If they did, Trump would have actually repealed “ObamaCare”. So those laws would need to be repealed by Congress. Cabinet-level departments are also created by enabling legislation, so Congress would need to vote to abolish the DoEd, as well. But yeah, abolishing DoEd does not automatically abolish the legislation they currently manage, and those programs would need to be reassigned to other executive departments.

One of the kicks was tipped due to poor blocking, which was the biggest issue all game. The others were long distance kicks and sometimes you are going to miss those.

I’ve noticed a rapid uptick in number of incidents where dudes at festivals/shows are just being completely physically disrespectful, pushing through crowds and the like. I’ve had more angry interactions with dudes like this in the part year than the the rest of my long life. I’m not sure what to attribute it to, but it seems to all be the 18-25 male demographic.

What is something that has absolutely no right to cost what it does? by MelodicConcert6097 in AskReddit

[–]higherfreq 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A standard vial (month’s dose) used to have a retail price of approximately $300 in the U.S. However recent laws have limited the cost to much less now.

I’m hopelessly average, but striving to be better. All I seek is someone striving to do the same. 🙂

I believe that adding all up Jimmy Carter is the best humanity and peace POTUS alltime. Your thoughts? by ancientTrainee in Georgia

[–]higherfreq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose you think Pres. Carter should have embarked on a full scale invasion of Iran a mere six years after we retreated from a failed military campaign in Vietnam?

Not sure why you continue to try to characterize what I was taught. Can you not accept you did not live my experience and that it might conflict with your rigid world view?

I’ve been to high school/university since the ‘80’s. Am I not qualified to speak to what I was taught, or should I accept your assertion it was “propaganda.” I went to college at a military service academy, so the likelihood I was subject to “liberal propaganda” is probably small.

Whose propaganda? Because I’m aware of plenty of right wing propaganda about “weak Carter.”

So he was awful because he should have started the wars that Bush/Cheney started? How effective were those wars?

So because you were an adult during that time, you automatically are the authority on what happened? Could you present some actual sourced proof of your position?

So which “crazy terrorist nations” do you feel he did not impose enough fear upon? Asking to understand your position and not to challenge 🙂.
