Is “pay them more” on that brainstorming list?

No kidding. I'd love to leave the tech industry to teach the next generation in the midst of the AI revolution - I'd think I have lots to offer in that department.

However, doing so would be a one-way ticket to poverty land no matter the district.

Let’s not pretend this crisis isn’t exactly the goal.

We want just educated enough to read simple directions and maybe handle some basic math. No critical thinking. No questioning our revisionist history. Keep em dumb and docile.
