I think his point is that the results recede even as costs go up - including inflation. BTW, inflation-adjusted costs of public education has increased exponentially over the past fifty years. The myth that we defund schools regularly just doesn't add up. And still, academic performance gets worse. QO has a fair point there.

I think we spend more per capita for K-12 than any country in the world. It's a similar story with healthcare. There are structural reasons for both, plus in the wealthiest country in the world pretty much everything costs more.
The problem really isn't spending in this country. And if our spending were under control, taxes wouldn't be an issue, either. But anyone who has worked in a company knows the more money you just throw at a problem, the more inefficiencies you create. "More money" is rarely the best solution. It's the path of least resistance, and doesn't promote the necessary deep-dive reviews of how things are actually being done.

You wouldn't know it living in the county. What are the criteria for this system anyway?

I have no fucking idea anymore. There’s gotta be a better way to encourage wearing a mask than his color map.
I hope there’s no shut down. I can make 40% of my yearly income in November and December so I would like for the state to be open.
Is this true? The rise for cost for K-12 school is for admin, not for the educators, seems counterproductive

Spending on education has far outpaced inflation .....same for health care/insurance ------ because BIG government is involved.
We have been teaching virtually, but we have been physically at the school while doing it. Of course I leave today at 235, and at 245 I get an email saying we are to work from home going forward and all my stuff is in my classroom. Such poor timing on that decision
Don’t know where to put this, but Cuomo against the Jews in NY is something. Police questioning how many people in a house? Fucked up (protests still ok tho)
Police officers enter PRIVATE HOMES to find Jewish gatherings in Monsey, New York:

Cuomo is the guy who sent the elders to die in nursing homes
DeBlasio is the guy who said NYC was open for business after the virus was spreading in his city?
Cuomo is a POS, I dont understand how people like him are elected

Can you guys get the virus under control in Ohio? I'm trying to move there in 2 months.
I see cases and hospitizations are way up now.

Contrary to popular opinion, no one has, is or will control a virus. It'll go where it's going to go. Measures to help slow its spread may have a short-term effect, but they will do nothing to prevent it from going as wide and deep into the population as it will ultimately go.
What a stupid meme. “Up to” is kind of important there. As in, when it’s all said and done, 200K was worst case scenario. Now we’re well past 200K and only getting worse.

2.2 million was worst case ..........thus we have saved nearly 2 million lives. NO ONE could have done a better job, without permanently destroying the economy.

It won't get under control until people take this new wave seriously. It appears to me that most are, but still many are not.
Cleveland yesterday: Browns game......people packed into bars with no masking.
It's scary.
