that, and let the publishing industry sink to such a level that people like JD Vance can publish an entire book of embellishments about how terrible life was in the same area he now actively represses.

Like, Middletown fucking sucks, I'm from near there, and it fucking sucked then too. But it sucks because it had it's shit wrecked by the decline of American manufacturing. The entirety of the Dayton area did, but Middletown did get it particularly bad. The whole area got hit really bad by the sackler opioid crisis too. But yeah, I assume he probably did lie about it, and he's definitely making life there worse.

That's what No Child Left Behind was about. To make the American population truly stupid and easy to control.

My sister who “finished” high school in 2014 because of no child left behind is the biggest fucking moron you could imagine. Huge trump supporter, engaged to a fucking loser drunk who’s the same.

Vance should go dank and turn on his boss tho. That will get him the respect from the internet he craves!
