Comments on: It’s a teacher’s dream https://www.isegoria.net/2020/10/its-a-teachers-dream/ From the ancient Greek for equality in freedom of speech; an eclectic mix of thoughts, large and small Wed, 29 Apr 2026 21:58:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.6.1 By: Jim https://www.isegoria.net/2020/10/its-a-teachers-dream/comment-page-1/#comment-3273091 Jim Thu, 08 Oct 2020 23:19:19 +0000 https://www.isegoria.net/?p=47147#comment-3273091 “The free market will prevail.”

What is a “free market”, why will it “prevail”, does it mean anything or are you trying to bamboozle me with a synonym for “international bankers”, does it involve me being richer than God and you working for peanuts in my pencil factory industrial educational facility, and if it doesn’t then why should I support it?

Many teachers still fall under the umbrella of medical benefits and retirement packages.

A contracted teacher gets an hourly salary.

Second most offensively, are they really calling them pods? What the fuck.

Third most offensively, how was Alex Jones right about everything?

Fourth most offensively, http://paulgraham.com/submarine.html.

Fifth most offensively, what the fuck, how was Alex Jones right about everything?

My youngest child was 20 when I moved to the county I am in now, and out of 2900$ property tax 2000 is earmarked as schools. I do not benefit from this, and someone with children in lockdown isn’t either.

I know the local pols will never consider allowing that revenue stream to reflect the fact that school has essentially been dismissed since February, and virtual education is as meaningful as a fortune telling session with miss cleo.

It would be far cheaper and moral to privately pay for Fire protection, Security, Teachers and similar services rather than through confiscatory taxation.

Unfortunately those that pay for such services privately must still pay the confiscatory taxes.
