Wait, the bottom ones are PreK-12 students.

How are they planning to reduce the number of children?

Is this why they hired RFK?

a dumb population is easier to control than an educated one. They don't plan on reducing the number of children, no they need more to produce for the wealthy. What they need are dumb kids that will grow into dumb adults. uneducated adults are more likely to have A LOT of kids. So you strip education, you strip healthcare, you make abortions illegal across the board, thus you force the population to keep pumping out new workers. many will die, the strong idiots will survive.

They're turning the country into cattle.

Nah see we gonna use AI to train the kids instead of teachers. Also gotta make sure the AI uses the correct training data, like how the world is 6000 years old and the gays are a sin.

Number of children, being educated. Surely we could do that.

Surely this would help with the decaying birthrates.

Deeply unserious managers of empire continue to self-cannibalize their own productivity in an effort to go even more all-in on financial capital, all while the global south is doing its best to pivot towards more favorable relations with countries like China. When the US Empire runs out of countries to exploit, and financial capital ceases to be profitable, it will have no developed industrial base nor a strong scientifically trained worker base to pull itself back up. The US is cooked, this is just speedrunning the demise of the empire in a faster and harder fashion.

The good news is that the worse this gets, the more favorable the conditions for organizing become, and the more vulnerable to revolution the state becomes. We can legitimately take advantage of this, and gain mastery over capital, rather than the inverse. We can re-industrialize, become socialist, and begin the long and difficult but necessary path towards legitimate progress. It won't be easy, but it will be doable.

That's how the 3. Reich started.

I've figured this out. If MAGA gets rid of all the smart people, they won't seem as dumb anymore!

This reminds me of a particularly hilarious scene from The Death of Stalin where they have all the country's best doctors lined up to save Stalin after his heart attack, but they are all bumbling idiots and Stalins men get angry about how incompetent they are until someone reminds them that Stalin literally killed all the best and most capable doctors in the soviet union out of paranoia.

And so, Stalin dies.

Here's to hoping for a similar result.

Europe is infinitely welcoming of these people, they'll always have a place here.

Canada has also been increasingly welcoming American expat academics and medical professionals.

We need to up our game on many many fronts. We need more investment and harder turn toward deomcratic socialism to fully reap what is being sown.
