    I fucking hate those people so much. It’s those people and the “I don’t have kids” people that are the reason why teachers have to buy their own damn supplies that the kids actually need.

    This isn’t a charity, those teachers are working and deserve their full income (that already isn’t high enough because of the previously mentioned assholes.)

      Always worth reminding those without kids that someone else’s kid will be the doctors keeping them healthy, building their homes, working out how to power society as they fight to hold back the immense tide of global ecosystem collapse due to humanitiy’s hubris and need for constant gratification with a minimised focus on the impact decisions have on the future.

        That went south quick… What I meant to say was that we need to invest in building skills in young people. Not skimping on it like it’s an annoying sycophant begging for succour.
