Hegseth wants more homeschooling in military families. Of course he is unaware that 6 out of 10 military spouses work outside the home. Maybe instead of focusing on home school he should demand an increase in military pay. Tens of thousands of military families are food insecure,
Fix that!

The Failed Promise of Electric Cars
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_DJ1UKjk-o&ab_channel=MorePerfectUnion
Federal funding for electric vehicle manufacturing was supposed to create thousands of good-paying, union jobs. But workers at Ultium Cells, which makes electric batteries for GM, reveal a different story. They make just $16.50/hour. One worker told us he's afraid he'll come home in a body bag.
Ultium received $2.5 billion from the government for their electric battery project.
One Ultium worker told us, "They need to stop giving taxpayer dollars to companies that essentially treat their workers like gum on the bottom of a boot.”

“It's only money.’
‘Yes, but it’s only my money, not only your money,’ Nanny pointed out.
‘We witches have always held everything in common, you know that,’ said Granny.
‘Well, yes,’said Nanny, and once again cut to the heart of the sociopolitical debate. ‘It’s easy to hold everything in common when no one’s got anything.' “
