The UN Inspectors have concluded their investigation on US Poverty

quote:

Just who are the poor? Alston says that many of them are children and women. And they are all races. "The face of poverty in America is not only black or Hispanic but also white, Asian and many other colors."

that is what they found out, really makes you :thunk:

they also found out this

As a result, he says, many people believe that "money spent on welfare is money down the drain. Money devoted to the rich is a sound investment."

He spoke to politicians and political appointees who were "completely sold on the narrative of such scammers sitting on comfortable sofas, watching color TVs, while surfing on their smartphones, all paid for by welfare."

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

Oklahoma wrote clauses into their state constitution that make it functionally impossible to raise taxes and now the entirety of their public infrastructure is going completely to poo poo. I feel bad for people living there but on the other hand the schadenfreude is delicious. :getin:

Oklahoma was founded as a state by all the white people who were greedy and desperate enough to steal all the land we felt was too lovely for white settlement when we originally made it Indian Territory. The first Land Rush also started in 1889, so all the white settlers were coming in loaded with all the reactionary post-Reconstruction sentiments you can imagine.

quote:

(Meredith) – A teacher accidentally fired a pistol inside a California classroom while lecturing about public safety and injured three students, according to police.

Dennis Alexander was pointing the gun at the ceiling when he inadvertently fired it Tuesday at Seaside High School, said Abdul Pridgen, the city's police chief.

Bullet fragments ricocheted off the ceiling and hit a 17-year-old student in the neck, Pridgen said. Shortly after the incident, class resumed as usual.

The teen’s father, Fermin Gonzales, said he rushed his son to the hospital after the 17-year-old returned from school with blood on his shirt and a neck injury.

“He’s shaken up, but he’s going to be OK,” Gonzales told KSBW. “I’m just pretty upset that no one told us anything and we had to call the police ourselves to report it.”

Two other students were also injured by debris, but police said all of their injuries are minor.

Alexander also serves as a reserve officer for Sand City police and is a Seaside city councilman.

The police department and school district placed Alexander on administrative leave while investigating whether he was legally allowed to have a gun on campus.

"I think a lot of questions on parents' minds are, why a teacher would be pointing a loaded firearm at the ceiling in front of students," Superintendent PK Diffenbaugh told KSBW. "Clearly in this incident protocols were not followed."

Guns and other weapons are prohibited on school grounds, though there are exceptions involving law enforcement.

Yes, but while I know it's fun to pile on, let me tell you firsthand about my experiences with the Oklahoma Democratic Party. I went to a very large county party meeting where the leadership tried to find 'moderate Republicans' to support in the upcoming budget battle. There was no talk of running candidates or anything like that. Many elections are unopposed. It's a joke.

The OK Dems have since been taken over by a 24-year-old.

The state was initially very, very socialist.
