The pandemic was a boom for them because it created another “lost generation” and pushed so many educators to hit the breaking point and quit.
The Founding Fathers are rolling in their graves knowing the press is so entwined with the state. The press is supposed to be the check on the state, and somewhere along the line we lost sight of that.
The founding fathers are also rolling in their graves, because women and people of color, hell, even men without property can vote (for now). Quit putting these slave owners on a pedestal.
