Despises racism, social injustice, right wing populism, ‘neoliberal trickledown’ & inequality. The world has enough money, but greed is stopping us from solving global/national/local issues. ‘Woke’ is a good thing.

If the USA is going to become a meritocracy then I assume the top jobs will be going disproportionately to Asians, women and black women, because they all outperform their comparative peers
Somehow, I’m not sure this is the ‘meritocratic’ intention of the white Conservative billionaires though?

#Teachers get paid for 5 days work a week, but work for 6+ days every week.
They either need to be paid like it’s 6+ days of work, or only work like it’s 5 days pay, because the current format is unsustainable.

“Trump is anti establishment”
“he’ll take on the corporations”
NO
He IS the establishment
AND will transfer even more power to corporations (as long as they back him).
This will accelerate American plutocracy
A corporate take over is the inevitable neoliberal outcome that was predicted by many

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

Add this to the hundreds of other reasons why there’s a recruitment and retention crisis in education.
The cognitive overload of information on to staff is unnecessary.

Western, billionaire owned, social media algorithms have been used to suppress information and to spread selective disinformation.
There’s a reason why the US want TikTok to be owned by an American billionaire.
Are we now just an oligarchy?

So many “British patriots” who campaigned for our “sovereignty”, are now very keen to see us taken over by Trump, Musk and the rest of the American oligarchy. You couldn’t make it up

AI is NOT going to solve the recruitment and retention crisis in #education
That’s just tinkering around the edges with a bit of tech.
What teachers need are smaller classes and fewer contact hours.

America is run by the rich, for the rich.
They own the assets, they buy politicians, they determine policy, they are above the law.
By definition, that makes it an #Oligarchy

Socialists don’t want “free stuff”.
They just want a fair wage for their work and for the wealth that they produce.
They don’t want that wealth to be hoarded in the pockets of a few people.

Too many people have swallowed the belief that what is good for the wealthy is actually good for them as well.
This is one, of many, of the awful legacies of Thatcher and Reagan.

The school bully always gets ‘fan boys’ fawning all over them, despite them being inherently bad people…
…which is the same situation we have with billionaires/tech bros/CEOs etc
Powerful people (especially men), no matter how evil they are, will always attract a cult like following.
