I didn’t read the link, but that sounds as Trumpian as not paying your debts.

They know. These pols don’t truly believe in trickle down economics either, they just sell it for personal profit

You’d think a businessman would know this, but then again he has gone bankrupt a few times.

America’s trading partners “need to pay more because they’re using socialist price controls, market access controls, to get unfair pricing,” said Mr. Azar

I will not yield. Not one second. Not one second.

LOL, here’s what the WSJ thought of Trump’s drug plan:

It’s not a mischaracterization. You said it yourself: they want their kids, who already have every advantage, to continue to hoard privilege and deny upward mobility to those who have no advantages. They want to increase the gap between have (white) and have-not (non-white), simply based on arbitrary circumstance of…

Those kids have parents spending thousands on tutors and the like, their kids will be fine. The argument you’re making didn’t work in Little Rock (seriously, they said the exact same thing, check the comments here), and they won’t work now.

A galaxy of stars for this comment.

This is a separate tangent that rarely gets talked about. We already know that standardized tests have an inherit bias to them and now you have those who can afford to supplementing study efforts.

Yep. They want to “help” without actually having to change anything or upset their comfort levels in any way. It’s the “overcome, just...over there” mentality.

I kinda hope this gets cross posted to jez to watch the heads explode.

I clicked on the tweet and one of the responses was a white women who talked about how these white parents go and pay thousands of dollars for tutoring to pass the tests. And then not only that pay psychologists for fake diagnoses or so they can get into gifted programs or be able to take tests with no time limits.   

The behavior of the parents is why I laugh when folks try to tell me a public school education is equal regardless of if you live in the city or the suburbs.

The are a direct line from the Little Rock parents.

I’m with you on the first paragraph. I would go one step further and say that holding gun owners accountable for what happens with their unsecured weapons should be strengthened and enforced.

Another 50 dead kids, or so, and the NRA is looking at another banner year! Seriously, I’m having a hard time even recognizing the ‘other side’ as human anymore... which is beyond fucked up.
