My mom said if the first few waves had killed kids then maybe we’d have beaten it by now. Thing is that it did, and it continues to kill kids.
Speaking as a teacher, it wasn’t a surprise seeing our school board spent that first summer reviewing recommendations. Only to send kids back in the fall without any substantial changes. No real protections other than a chronically divorced SRO who’d only be at our building on Wednesdays and who had an office for some reason. That and about 100 books we had to remove from the library.
I don’t think things would much different if it killed the billionaire class’s children. You think Pharaoh gave a shit about Moses killing his kid?
Uh, yeah?
Bad phrasing. Do you think Pharaoh gave a shit about his kid after Moses explicitly told him he would die in a tenth plague?
The Pharoah didn't believe in Moses' power until he killed his firstborn son. After his son died, he cared!
That sounds an awful lot like not giving a shit about your kid.
