Uh, forum goose steppers, recognize the FACTS :

That is a LIE. It is a STUPID lie. Critical Race Theory, according to its creator Derrick Bell "CALL EVERYTHING RACIST UNTIL YOU CONTROL IT." Governor DeSantis believes that our textbooks TODAY are all that are needed to educate the new young skulls full of mush on race, as generations BEFORE them. CRT is RACIST, and teaching it is no different than teaching EUGENICS, a junk science from YOUR left wing side of the aisle that led to the HOLOCAUST.

The son of a bitcccch called off the last election where Trump won. I wouldn't put anything past that Nazi.

We definitely need Trump to unite the country and get us past the Democrat voter fraud thing. The LEFT WING GESTAPO know this, which is why the FUHRER prosecutor in New York is trying to indict Trump for a crime that hasn't been committed. The goose steppers KNOW that he will win in a legitimate election, (just like he did in the last one.)

You are a fcking !DIOT. You don't have the brains to debate, so out comes that tired old "troll" word. I guess it means a person who won an argument against a goose stepper like you. I gave you a history lesson and I guess you reacted the same way you did in the blue state public school third grade history classes before you dropped out. Today's liberals ARE welfare statists. And they engage in street riots but Democrats ignore them.

These libs are truly delusional.

You are a fcking LIAR. She was not fired. And you have NO FCKING ROOM TO TALK especially when there are blue states where teachers are not permitted to give the uneducated brats any grade below a C.

You're STUPIDITY is prima facie evidence that blue state schools SUCK. Florida third graders are smarter than you, Tinker Bell.

I still don't understand why school choice advocates somehow believe that Charter Schools are somehow superior to rank and file public schools. In Florida counties, most charter schools are in the public school system. They follow the same rules. They just have special emphasis. In my county, one Charter School is K-12, and it is mostly based on arts and entertainment. One Charter School is designed for middle and high schoolers as a last chance to graduate. One Charter School is dedicated solely to the handicapped, (everything from simple autism to full blown Downs syndrome. One specialty Charter School is solely dedicated to Pre K, and may be one of the most professional institutions of its kind. I've subbed at all of them.

By LAW, women and men have equal rights. They are entitled to equal pay for the same work. They are both guaranteed EQUAL access to voting, to careers, to military service, etc.

Ear training and reading music are both skills. They both have to be developed. This doesn't suggest any involvement or lack of involvement by God. It's a fact. Music is a discipline that has to be practice and learned.

Uh, BAT GUANO FOR BRAINS, how does "color of one's skin" somehow leave race out of the equation? Oh, by the way, blacks weren't called African Americans back in the Democrat Party Jim Crow days. They were called NEGROES. Or they were called "Colored People." (not much different from the left wing phrase "People of color.") There are Caucasians, Negroes and Mongolians. Those are the races. That element has ALWAYS been taught in public schools since Reconstruction. Rosa Parks was ARRESTED because the local Jim Crow law said people of her skin color had to give up a bus seat to a Caucasian upon demand. I'm pretty sure her skin color was not plaid. She wasn't Scottish. I'm pretty sure that Florida school children (who are smarter than any blue state school children) understand that Rosa Parks was not a Caucasian. As usual, this issue is bullshit.

Your blue state schools ban BIBLES.

Choice? Uh, NO. If those animals were not offered food and a roof over their heads as compensation for work, it would be considered slavery. Involuntary work requirements exist in law all over the place. Some prison sentences come with the phrase "at hard labor." It was left wing Bill KKKlinton who signed into law work requirements for lazy welfare bums. If you are suggesting the homeless wouldn't volunteer to live in a home versus the streets, (and this is not totally false, since you pointed out that not all homeless are playing with a full deck) then it's easy for the law to take its course. A facility exists, so the loiterers are KICKED OUT of the store fronts by the local cops. They can live out in the wilderness or they can choose to live on the farm. I know this is useless speculation, because NO state would allow local businesses this fair solution. So far, we know of ONE state that SUPPORTS homelessness.

Don't move here if you don't like it. Too many people are moving here already. STay in your uneducated shithole blue state.

Oh, by the way boys and girls. Here is an actual link to this story. Nobody was fired. (Geez! These goose steppers never let up.) https://www.newsweek.com/florida-principal-forced-resign-showing-students-michelangelo-statue-1789976 A school principal in Tallahassee, Florida, was forced to resign because, she said, a Renaissance art lesson included a section on Michelangelo's sculpture of the Bible's David, which one parent described as pornographic. Hope Carrasquilla, who had been the principal at Tallahassee Classical School, stepped down Monday during an emergency board meeting, the Tallahassee Democrat reported. She was appointed to the position less than a year ago. The school board's chair, Barney Bishop, told Carrasquilla that she could either quit or be fired but gave no reason for the ultimatum. She told the newspaper that she believes it was because of the art lesson, saying, "It saddens me that my time here had to end this way." For those who aren't quite that observant, the relevant idea here is "she could either quit or be fired but gave no reason for the ultimatum. She told the newspaper that she believes it was because of the art lesson." So we don't really know if she was asked to resign because of that exhibit. Of course, the goose steppers here probably didn't know about this either: But three parents complained that their children felt uncomfortable with the lesson, which included a section on David, a marble statue of a nude male that represents youthful beauty as well as the Italian city of Florence. It is considered one of Michelangelo's masterpieces as well as one of the Renaissance's greatest sculptures. Gee! The goose steppers here are ready to wage a cyber war if children are uncomfortable with their fcking PRONOUNS but somehow seeing a statue of a NAKED MAN doesn't seem to be a problem. Florida education? We elected THIS: A blue state elected this: You goose steppers have NO room to talk.

Is there a reliable link, or are you just high on meth again?

To bring your small, uneducated mind up to speed (and people wonder why older folk get so impatient with stupid people of all ages) the term "liberal" used to mean laissez faire free market capitalism. (Find someone with an education to 'splain the French phrase "Laissez Faire" to you.) It was ANYTHING but left wing. The definition began changing in 1962 as a result of the Port Huron Statement. Suddenly, liberal began to mean COMMUNIST, Facist, Nazi, welfare state, food stamps, street riots, etc. And allegedly "liberal" politicians back then (Lyndon Johnson, Hubert Humphrey etc) would have been considered far right wingers today. Hell, Bill KKKlinton would be considered far right wing because he proposed 'WORKFARE." https://teachingamericanhistory.org/document/port-huron-statement/\ In June 1962, a group of mostly white, middle-class college students met in Port Huron, Michigan, to draft a manifesto for the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS). SDS called for the creation of a “New Left,” that is, a new kind of liberalism. As a Cold War document, the Port Huron Statement is significant for several reasons. First, it sharply challenged the nation’s basic, bipartisan foreign policy: that every price must be paid, every effort made, to stop the global spread of communism. Second, the SDS became a vocal, well-organized opponent of the war in Vietnam (See Johnson, H.J. Res 1145, Johnson, Ball, the SNCC, and Nixon). Third, by criticizing America’s faith in technology, affluence, and materialism, the statement provided a foundation for the counterculture of the 1960s and beyond. As far as LEGALLY ELECTED PRESIDENT TRUMP'S record, the facts speak for themselves. Before the OBAMA VIRUS came in and reduced the economy to the level of Democrat presidents, THIS was Trump's real record. (He didn't inherit ANYTHING from Obama except for a tanking economy and a volatile middle east.) https://thehill.com/opinion/finance/535048-donald-trump-had-an-economic-record-that-will-be-remembered/ Trump reduced taxes, unleashed the economy, renewed domestic energy production, and overhauled trade deals to place the country first. Just like when Ronald Reagan became president, almost all of the liberal commentators and academics predicted that the policy of Trump would not work, and that they would harm the economy and stock market. The Washington Post famously claimed before the 2016 election that “Trump could destroy the world economy.” Did that turn out to be true? Let us examine the success in the first three years of his administration before the coronavirus flattened the economy. The unemployment rate fell less than 4 percent, which was near the lowest in half a century. The inflation rate fell to 1 percent, which was even below the target level set from the Federal Reserve. This has kept the interest rates on mortgages and many other loans down to the lowest level in modern times. The portion who fell below the poverty line declined to the lowest level ever recorded in 2019. The wealth of households, including their stocks, savings, and real estate, rose to the highest level in history. The Census Bureau saw the median income rise to above $65,000, up by more than $5,000 in three years and double the gains from the last decade. Almost all of these benefits were most pronounced for minorities, notably Blacks and Hispanics. Liberals counter this record by saying that Trump is now the first president in modern times to lose jobs in four years. This was clearly a result of the pandemic and, unless the left blames Trump for the coronavirus, the critical issue is how well the economy rebounds. According to most forecasts of the Federal Reserve and Wall Street, the unemployment rate was estimated to be 8 percent to 10 percent. But it has fallen to less than 7 percent from 13 percent in just six months. The growth rate hit a record of more than 30 percent in the third quarter of last year, and it could reach over 8 percent in the fourth quarter. It is no wonder that by the end of the term for Trump, a majority of voters said they were better off versus four years ago, even with the coronavirus. Contrary to the economic crisis that Joe Biden says he has inherited, most analysts believe the engine of growth will roar back to life this year. That is because of the vaccines that could save hundreds of thousands of lives at home and millions more across the world with our Operation Warp Speed, another success under Trump. That is not a terrible record at all That is a better record than ANY Democrat ever to hold that office. Most of America knows that, which is why it took VOTER FRAUD to overturn Trump's landslide reelection. Those are facts and

Oh, by the way. This thread is supposed to be about a RACIST statement in California about white people polluting the air of colored people. (Uh, duimba$$es. the term, "people of color" might as well be "colored people." ) Somehow, a self proclaimed Ivy League College Economics professor has managed to morph this into a discussion about rent controls, when it began as a discussion about air pollution and !diots seeing something racist in it. And you wonder why everybody says liberals are such knuckleheads.

EARTH TO CRETINS. a. Area 1 has a group of buildings defined as "rental housing." They are in the business of making money by charging RENT for living quarters. They are PAID for this. They are not REQUIRED by law to do this. b. Because the rental market is competitive, the landlords will not deliberately raise their rents above the free market, otherwise they lose tenants to the competitors. So they only raise rents to cover the higher costs of maintaining the properties. c. If you put a cap on what the landlords in Area 1 can charge, after a while the rental properties wind up costing them money. So they SELL the building and move to Area 2, where the locals still have brains. The properties in Area 1 are bought by new landlords and either start out with HIGHER rents or are converted to other uses or just bulldozed. Every reliable economist in this field says the same thing. Don't go looking to THE VIEW for any alternative facts. Those beeches on that Nazi panel can't even SPELL "economics."

Explain how this plays out in Boise, Reno, Spokane, and las vegas where there are no rent controls? If you give me a bunch of subjective opinions... I am going to be done with you. In other words, if I commit the egregious sin of DISAGREEING with you, you're going to throw a tantrum and take your ball home, huh? I might as well get started. https://www.brookings.edu/research/what-does-economic-evidence-tell-us-about-the-effects-of-rent-control/ New research examining how rent control affects tenants and housing markets offers insight into how rent control affects markets. While rent control appears to help current tenants in the short run, in the long run it decreases affordability, fuels gentrification, and creates negative spillovers on the surrounding neighborhood. https://www.vox.com/22789296/housing-crisis-rent-relief-control-supply The logic is simple: If you set a price ceiling below what the market price would be, you will reduce the incentive for people to supply that good. If you’re a hatmaker and the government says you’re not allowed to charge more than $5 for hats you’ve been able to sell for $10, you’ll probably stop making as many. Of course, here we’re not talking about hats, we’re talking about housing. If fewer hats are produced, that’s not great, but if fewer homes are produced, that’s catastrophic. We’re facing a national housing shortage of 3.8 million homes, and it’s the leading contributor to the spiraling cost of housing and modern homelessness. It also could induce landlords to reduce their investment or upkeep of properties if they see their profits being slashed. Gee! That's an ECONOMICS argument. I guess you never took the classes, much less teach them, if you didn't know that. A REAL economics student would be aware of the existence of the greatest economist of all time: Ludwig Von Mises. https://mises.org/library/unintended-consequences-rent-control At the height of the debate over whether capitalism or socialism was the most productive way to run a society, Ludwig von Mises argued that government intervention begets further government intervention. When rents are held below their market-clearing value, people take rental units off the market or convert existing units into condominiums, luxury housing, or offices. Something like "key money" might also emerge, whereby the rent is held artificially low, but the landlord demands a massive payment to rent the apartment's key. Other enterprising landlords have attempted to get around the restriction by providing "furnished" apartments, for which the tenant pays the controlled rent but must also pay a marked-up price to rent the apartment's furniture. Government officials and landlords find themselves in an endless cat-and-mouse game of regulate-and-evade that has created its own legal infrastructure in the form of the New York City Housing Court. The court has fifty judges and handles over three hundred thousand cases annually. Rent control also destroys landlords' incentives to maintain the housing stock. With rent control in place, people are lined up for housing, and therefore, the landlord can discriminate on the basis of who will take the most meager accommodations. Eliminating a landlord's ability to enjoy the return from investing in higher-quality housing means eliminating the landlord's incentive to invest in basic upkeep. https://iea.org.uk/rent-controls-the-revenge-of-econ-101/ There has also been an increase in the number of properties that are up for sale, rather than rent, because while rents have been capped, sales prices have not. So whether you compare the rent-capped part of Berlin’s rental property market to its counterpart in other cities, to its cap-exempt counterpart in Berlin itself, or to the owner-occupier sector – the result is always the same. The rent cap clearly is having a negative impact on supply, and this is happening astonishingly quickly: even I was not expecting to see any impact in this year, or the next. If you want to call these FACTS "subjective opinions" then you clearly do not know the meaning of that word. Funny. I never met a college professor who didn't know the meaning of the word "subjective." I gave you OBJECTIVE sources. ("Objective" defined as not influenced by personal opinions.) Feel free to throw a tantrum and announce to the rest of the !diots that you're putting me on temporary "ignore." And I welcome you to the next debate where you will lose. You children are all the same.

As usual, when you lose an argument, out come the insults. I actually took the college classes on both micro and macro, so you have given away the fact that you never did take either one. (Do you REALLY think you're the FIRST liberal who tried to manufacture unearned credibility by claiming to be a college economics professor?)

The "urban versus suburbs" concept does NOT negate the TRUTHS about what it takes not to grow up poor. I never mentioned how I grew up, (I could have been poor or I could have been Richie Rich). And if you consult any knowledgeable libertarian (Yeah, I know. The phrase is a redundancy) you might discover that a lot of urban rent issues come from rent controls, which have the exact opposite effect. Bottom line, urban inner city types usually are from single parent families and it will take a lot more effort on their part to escape the poverty cycle, mostly because their PARENTS didn't follow those three rules.

It took a person of your particular outlook on life to point out to me that a teacher discussing a period with a child also wants to have sex with them Actually, YOUR side of the aisle is the pro pedophelia group. And one can find such stories in media all over the place. Bottom line ANY teacher who decides to have a "Private" discussion with ANY minor, without any parental involvement, is a criminal and should not be allowed to teach.

Apparently you don't know the meaning of the word IF. Try scrolling back and find that IF word. MacroEconomics is the study of economics as it applies to a country or continent. MicroEconomics is the study of how companies treat each other and how such systems interact. Neither subject is, in of itself, a political science endeavor. Those of us from the Conservative and free market Libertarian side of the aisle refer to all Economics as the ONLY real science of human behavior. The ONLY book a psychology major needs to read: https://mises.org/library/human-action-0
