If we fall back into another C-19 variant infection wave I wouldn’t be surprised in school districts and their .gov jurisdictions call out for more task forces to address whatever learning loss is all about.

Yeah, coverages of education trends get all manner of attention while skirting around real issues. The same is true with the latest disaster at Michigan’s Oxford H.S. Tons of thoughts & prayers, oh, what went wrong(?), ramp up the finger pointing and blame games! But obviously it’s us doing it to ourselves with insane laws like conceal and carry and the ubiquity of gun WMD!

Simply dig into this wiki page for nation state data on gun availability and gun violence and death. The data is so obvious regarding gun laws and gun violence. It’s not complicated it’s obvious. Wiki gun death by nation state, plus plenty of links to see more data on this subject worldwide on this wiki page. Notice that the United Kingdom, that has stricter gun laws, has a markedly lower rate of death and suicide by gun, and culturally they are very similar to Americans, for over 400 years, with the exception of possibly needing an interpreter for accents regarding the spoken word.

After mass shootings the media will report how gun sales are increasing. Fear & Guns, fear & guns, that’s the marketing pitch, but it’s really the exploitive politicians leveraging this fear and magnifying the effect passing legislation like conceal & carry, positively insane! Apparently this manufactured fear shows up in the electorate’s voting habits.

There will be miles of media link baiting this latest tragedy in a Michigan H.S. Where is the motion to stop rampant legal/illegal gun WMD sales?

There is a reason to go on strike to stop this institutional insanity, yet the electorate just shrugs. (!)
