"We are actively dealing with problems remote learning caused. A whole generation of kids is further behind than they were tracking to be behaviorally, mathematically, and in reading scores."
Gee I wonder what would do that, is it three+ years of unmitigated exposure to a virus that causes brain damage? No, the problem is they stayed home, which makes you developmentally challenged, as we all know. Oh, you don't want to get COVID? Then stay home.
We can blame the lockdowns on everything, but not how you think
The lockdowns were a perfect opportunity for the ruling class to consolidate power and begin the process of transitioning to a different economy completely
I hear people today talk about their friends in China (they work for Fortune 500 companies and do indeed have friends in China) who were forced to take a test everyday while being on lockdown (like that’s a bad thing) and it only makes me more of a Maoist.
I lived in Shanghai for the lockdown. We were really inside for 3 months, not allowed to leave our apartment complex except for a daily test at the local school. To get out of the lockdown you would have had to jump over a 10 foot gate and people did to buy cigarettes on the black market. About two months in I found a man online that was delivering some expat foods (the government declared foreign foods nonessential) to expats. I bought a baguette. That man was arrested.
based, I hate baguettes
