    Wow...utterly shocking. Those questions would be insultingly easy for a ten year old (in my day). They probably know how many made-up genders there are, but can't tell you how many minutes are in an hour, weeks in a year, or dimes in a dollar, which even I, a non-American, knew at aged ten.

    Problem is they don't need to know that so they simply don't/can't remember.
    Younger kids aren’t stupider than older generations. They are just overwhelmed with much more information at their fingertips than older generations could even dream of as a kid. No capacity left for unattractive info like simple math and basic geography.
    I just hope they will survive, learn to have empathy and love.

    100 years ago many kids didn't know how to write their name. They worked in a field and didn't care much for education.
    Different times, different challenges.

    Is every mind connected to form a peer to peer network that creates the illusion of a shared reality, making the appearance of material reality a simulation created through shared beliefs?

    The UK government is desperate, to the point of blatant lying, to balance the books but won't consider that it's spending on stupid stuff ( like scamdemics, migrant accommodation and wars ) is the right way to do it.

    Nothing more or less than I expected. The speaker wonders why the state is doing this. A lot of people I know, including those who are not knowledgeable in alternative views, think they are doing it deliberately to crash the economy. I can't say for sure but I think it is only going to get worse as we approach 2030.

    Agreed, the uglification end of this disturbs me more than almost anything else, and that's saying something today. Somehow these unelected figureheads keep pushing this ungliness and death through. They have a way of placing their gatekeepers in key positions, I mean how do you pull off JFK and 911 and then classify it "for reasons of national security" (always a red flag) and seal it for the next 70 years so the culprits never face justice. It really is a big club, a secret handshake, a deal with the devil. Thanks for the updates.

    🚨🇬🇧 TESCO SCRUBS ‘CHRISTMAS’ OFF THE BOXES

    Shoppers are furious after spotting Tesco quietly rebranding Christmas Trees as “Evergreen Trees” – all to avoid “offending” someone.

    But who exactly is offended by Christmas in Britain?

    🔴 Christmas erased from packaging
    🔴 Corporate cowardice dressed up as “inclusivity”
    🔴 Another British tradition watered down to appease the perpetually outraged
    🔴 Yet every other culture gets full respect, naming, and celebration

    Britain is a Christian country with Christian traditions.

    Honest to God, you just can't make this stuff up. Who better to advise on women than a biological man?

    Massachusetts Governor Appoints ‘Trans’ Man To Women’s Commission



    Governor Maura Healey has appointed a biologically male transgender activist to the Massachusetts Commission on the Status of Women, a state-run body presenting itself as a voice for women and girls.

    The move has drawn withering criticism from faith-based groups that say the state is moving further away from recognizing biological reality.

    Healey selected Giselle Byrd, a biological male who identifies as a woman, to serve as a commissioner. Byrd also works as executive director of the Theater Offensive in Boston, and has held roles in LGBTQ advocacy organizations. The commission announced the appointment in August alongside another Healey appointee.

    Commission Chairwoman Mary-dith Tuitt praised the new commissioners.

    “These leaders bring a fresh perspective to the work of the MCSW with a diverse range of personal and professional experience,” she said in a release, adding their involvement “will only enhance the commission’s ability to focus on our mission and agenda to impact change for all women and girls across the Commonwealth.”

    The Massachusetts Family Institute, a family values public policy group, said the appointment shows how far state institutions have drifted from a basic understanding of womanhood.

    “Maura Healey APPOINTS biological MAN to State Commissioner of prominent state-funded ‘women’s rights’ organization!” the group wrote in a Facebook post.

    It argued this result “is the logical conclusion of feminism in Massachusetts society.”
