Returning the control to the States.


Tp4 is of the opinion, that this is neither a good nor bad thing. Generally the economic/political elites prefer having more peasants. The cleaving of the socio-economic classes was already happening starkly BEFORE any of these policy changes.  The funding was already drawn at "your side of the track", there was no equality to be had under the "Current" system as is. Rich kids got better schools, poor kids got something that looks and tastes like education.


The problem Tp4 has with their "lack of a plan" really, is that,  we must step back to ask the question, have we really generate more peasants by not educating.  We've mostly IMPORTED more peasants.  Home grown peasant birth rate is not that high, and their overall productivity is excessively low compared to imported, and because they're established and they speak english, they are the most avid users of welfare, far and above immigrants..


Long term, future, countries will probably FIGHT to import more Mexicans, because our replacement rate is quite unhealthy.

Look at Japan,  they are SUPER RACIST,  absolutely HATES immigrants,  but guess what, push Came to Shove,  they're carting over boat loads of Filipinos because their local labor is entirely unsustainable. Very Hysterically, the MOST Racist conclaves in Japan, the Small Towns, kids leave, no replacement labor whatsoever, local business each hires 2-5 Filipinos.

"States rights" is just a red herring. At the time of the Founding it took at least a week (and usually much more)  to get a message from one end of the country to the other. In that situation, a state was about the largest geographic entity that could be reasonably governed.

Today, the world is tiny - I can pick up a small rectangle in one hand and have a real-time conversation with someone in Tasmania. And the US military claims that it can deliver a legit fighting force with boots on the ground anywhere in the world in under 24 hours.

In modern America, the phrase "states' rights" is merely a diversionary tactic to obfuscate (or, to low-information voters, rationalize) the wholesale destruction of the Federal government.
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

It is abundantly clear that Trump and his administration is conducting a war against intelligence and higher education. I think Trump and Musk share a similar ideology that they are both "self-made" so higher education is not needed for people "smart enough" to make it big via capitalism. In addition to creating a new generation of dumbed down and uninformed sheep they can easily control with their fake news. It is open season on the educated and intellectual.
