re: #116 wheat-dogg

Americans typically have the attitude that anyone can be a teacher, because good teachers make it look easy, and bad teachers leave the impression that any idiot can do it. I had no fckin’ idea how hard a job it was until I actually started doing it.

it also relates to the “we should run government like a business” approach

to a businessperson, things like education, health care, environmental or safety protections, infrastructure, etc., are all seen as expenses to be minimized and not as investments in a well-educated, healthy, safe and prosperous society
