    Pre-K isn’t necessary.

    College should not be free. Trade schools should be free. If college were free, we would have to limit it to the best, which means the poor would be excluded. It needs to be affordable. Right now, it is not affordable for most people. It doesn’t make sense for a garbage man to for someone else’s gender studies degree.

    Crime dropped because it wasn’t being reported. It wasn’t because there wasn’t a crime. There just wasn’t anyone to arrest them. As you can see, with out current crime rates, it is not a sustainable model. If they are not arrested, then they repeat their crimes. If you look at San Francisco, businesses are leaving because of the crime, which hurts the city and community. It’s why poor areas don’t have grocery stores. The theft causes the business to leave. If you want to solve the food desert problem, you have to solve the crime problem.

    I have talked to people who lived during communism and I have visited a communist country. It isn’t a life style i would embrace. I like having a decent home, food in my stomach and being able to make my own decisions. I have never seen such poverty in my life until I went to Cuba and talk to my Polish friends, growing up starving wasn’t the life I would want. There is a reason millions fled communism. It just doesn’t work.

    I have learned how to make the world better. Be accountable to yourself, work hard, and respect others. I have done very well doing those things. I don’t want ‘free’ things from the government. I want the government to stay out of my life as much as possible and to live my life the way I want. I do support a single payer system as I think it enables more freedom but otherwise I don’t need a nanny state.

      “Fuck them kids” - You

      Consistent with other studies that find preschool has a huge effect on kids, Walters, Gray-Lobe and Pathak find that the kids lucky enough to get accepted into preschools in Boston saw meaningful changes to their lives. These kids were less likely to get suspended from school, less likely to skip class, and less likely to get in trouble and be placed in a juvenile detention facility. They were more likely to take the SATs and prepare for college. The most eye-popping effects the researchers find are on high school graduation and college enrollment rates. The kids who got accepted into preschool ended up having a high-school graduation rate of 70% — six percentage points higher than the kids who were denied preschool, who saw a graduation rate of only 64%. And 54% of the preschoolers ended up going to college after they graduated — eight percentage points higher than their counterparts who didn’t go to preschool. These effects were bigger for boys than for girls. And they’re all the more remarkable because the researchers only looked at the effects of a single year of preschool, as opposed to two years of preschool. Moreover, in many cases, the classes were only half a day.

      There it is folks. Mask off in three replies.

      “I will read anything suggested.”

      “I have talked to people who lived during communism and I have visited a communist country.”

      Your only interest is yourself and your capital. You only want to protect yourself and, by doing so, you actively harm others. I hope your pile of gold is worth it.

      I only have one further question: have your children cut off communications with you or is that something you have to look forward to?
