the last straw of a true idiot

if you are younger than 25, you have a chance to save yourself from a life of misery

play nice now bois

by seeking medical attention right now

thanks xorgy for proving my point

good night

there are also districts (ex: detroit) where highschool students cannot even pass middle school level tests (6th grade)

any at all

0% of the students in some schools of detroit had even a 6th grade competency... scary shit

@Misomania Yeah, what the public in Detroit have enabled bureaucrats to do to children is absolutely heartbreaking.

and the sadder thing is that those members of the public will probably, at best, blame the bureaucrats; at worst they will blame america for not buying their shitty cars.

where is that infographic of hiroshima vs detriot 1945 and today?

'cause that's just sad

😰

seriously, some of the people the people of Detroit have elected

@xorgy 5th grade math is what? adding and subtracing with a little multiplication and division?

are scum of the lowest order

and everyone who supported them should be spanked publicly in every major american city, on video

and forced to write an essay

I've seen these people and can confirm that they cannot function. Cashier had to use a calculator to figure out the change when the bill for my order was 4.95 and I gave them 5.20

the scum themselves should be given a medal, frankly

it is impressive to be able to cost that much, while doing that little

honestly, the problem is that the industry is dead, in part because local (and federal) laws made it uncompetitive

but the bureaucracy never wants to shrink, even when it must

Half the world wants to buy cars right now, and America is not pulling a Japan and being the one to make it happen.

has anyone ever had a bill that came out as 4.15, given the cashier 5.15 and had them not be able to figure out the change because apparently they cannot count to 1? I have

indeed

they should at least post a "we hire special needs" sign on the front

so you know to be patient.

in all seriousness though

I'm out of sympathy

I have family out there

idiocracy was not meant to be a roadmap to the future......

people like my mother are the problem with Detroit

the people are the problem

they moan and they whine

and when people reward them for moaning and whining, they do it more

until they'll moan and whine about literally anything, except what those people do

which they will assure you is morally impeccable

You can not save a city with a neighbourhood of frighteningly middle-class art installations on vacant lots, but that's literally the best they bother to do.
