Teacher unions right now. Why would I cite, you’re a researcher.

You don't understand research then, because a researcher wont listen for a second without citations.

Just stated one. Chicago teacher union. Las Vegas teacher union. Third one I’ve heard of recently too. All blatant corruption to get more $$ for public sector unions without doing any work. Must offend you I’m bringing this up, perhaps it’s what you do. If you’re such a valiant researcher why are you not in a company with more funding and incentive to produce results? Hmmm?

None of what you just said is a citation. You made a bunch of claims without showing where you got it from.

Clearly your teachers failed you. If they were part of a union that union seriously needs to be reevaluated.

This is literally being stated in the news. If the news isn’t a citation, lmfao wtf is it for. This is why you “trigger” me, you’re pompous

"the news" is not a citation.

Give me a specific article, with a specific author, and a specific claim.

Your teachers failed you at basically every level if you don't understand this.

I’m just being lazy. I’ve listened to them on podcasts from conservatives

Podcasts can be a good source to look up the information from, but unless that person is an expert in that specific area they are not to be trusted on their word alone. I can't count the number of times I've heard "this is gonna happen in 5 years!" off a pretty non-significant science paper that just happened to catch headlines. Similarly, lots of papers get retracted.

For instance, did you know that the landmark paper that claimed to show that as the national debt rises the economies growth slows was retracted? It had an excel sheet error that, when corrected, showed no correlation. Regardless, we have politicians and pundits still referencing this a decade or so after its own authors admitted to the mistake.

So anyway, my point is that one source is never to be taken as even plausible in isolation. You got to look at the preponderance of evidence across the whole field, and something that's been well substantiated is that public investment in science, welfare, healthcare, infrastructure, and education reap dividends in the long term. Unfortunately we stopped investing nearly as much and so we have missed out on those gains.

The people need to unite together to take out these peons at the top.

Thor is right tho just sayin
