24 years ago the terrible No Child Left Behind Act was enacted. It along with the rise of anti-intellectualism are a major reason our world looks the way it does today. The dumbing down of our education system has left many struggling to communicate effectively and have poor media literacy as a direct result.
It wasn't alone. There have been a thousand tiny cuts, but NCLB was a pretty deep one.

:Blobhaj_Table: Where would we be without the lobbyists!?
"When the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) arrived at the Internal Revenue Service earlier this year, leaders of the group reassured workers that the agency’s free tax filing tool, Direct File, would be spared from cuts. But only a few days after meeting with tax software lobbyists, the beloved tool was placed on the chopping block, multiple sources familiar tell WIRED."

"The inspector general for the U.S. Agency for International Development was fired on Tuesday – one day after his office issued a critical report warning that nearly $500 million in food was about to go bad due to President Donald Trump’s freeze on the agency."
Disgusting. Every headline out of the trump admin is a disgusting backward embarrassment #usdecline

Another major step on the road to #usdecline . Stopping science, research, and progress to pay for obscenely wealthy people's tax cuts.
Oh wow and eggs prices are still up.

The richest man in the world literally bought the most powerful government in the world (soon NOT to be the most powerful) for $288 million. Yeah capitalism is working out great.

One of those stories (of so many in the last couple weeks) that we probably won't know how bad this was until years from now. They're building a corrupt government.
"The trump administration has fired about 17 independent inspectors general at government agencies, a sweeping action to remove oversight of his new administration"

Pete Hegseth Is Confirmed as Defense Secretary By Slim Margin. Disgusting, terrifying.

Here we go, a totally dysfunctional broken government, by design. Oh and scientific health research funding from the NIH is also on hold.
"In an unprecedented move, research-grant reviews have been suspended indefinitely at the world’s largest public funder of biomedical research."
