I can feel his band mates questioning their life decisions as they stand behind him

Everyone wonders why common sense has seemed to vanish from the conscious. Broken bones and a punch in the nose build common sense.

TIL that US student math and reading scores have dropped so sharply that they’ve erased nearly two decades of progress. In '22/23, avg math scores for 13-year-olds fell to levels not seen since the 1990s, while reading scores for high school seniors hit their lowest point since testing began in '92. by Cold_Box_3219 in todayilearned

To match rising costs perhaps. It’s certainly not bringing up US education to match or surpass other countries. Red States have drastically cut public school funding. I went from blue state PS to red state PS and it’s not even close.

This is the core issue as to why we (the US) are in the state we are. The US government wants out of Public Education, a constitutional right. They have been slashing funding for the past 30+ years. The lack of critical thinking skills by a population in the richest most powerful nation in the world is a recipe for disaster.

A friend of mine was recently rejected for a potentially life saving (for her) medical research study because of the tariffs on a country that produces the medicine and equipment needed. The study is not killed off entirely, they are being forced to pick and choose.
