How would you improve your community?

Since leaving NC (30 yrs ago) I have not had a feeling of community. People generally don’t give a shite these days and/or are so encumbered with getting by they have no more to give.

I was blessed to have a strong family bond so I never really missed it. Plus, I like people from afar for the most part.

Community as an entity includes the schools and I’m damn sure glad to be done with those. Not sure if you saw her, but there was a calm bitch angry at the school board in VA when the dad got thrown out. That would be me.

I told them off when I was in school, told them off for my son multiple times and even for others. I don’t like entitlement being swung by way, particularly by lethargic, slow minds.

I’ve worked in higher education 10 years. There is an implication people ate “lifers”, and that brings stagnation and group think. Mental and spiritual prison.

It is the exact reason free enterprise excels while government falters.

No clue how kids do it these days. I was glad to have a son.

  1. The school system is atrocious. “Lifers” is definitely a way to describe it. I ended up having to rip one of my nursing instructors a new one and she told everyone never in her 20 years of teaching had she ever had someone stand up to her in the way I did. Whatever, she deserved it. That unfortunate woman is still teaching nursing, sadly. Amazing that I even made it through that cult-like belief system. The groupthink mentality and absolute lack of accountability for any actions nowadays makes me sick.

    1. Me, too. And I worry about the future since I’m 56! What will the little ones of today see tomorrow? Whose jugs will dominate their internet?

      1. Im hitting 50 this summer and it is a sad mess we are in, living in rural hill country Texas, my neighbors are all of like mind so while its not like it was in the 80s the folks around me keep our roads clean and take the trash out quick if the man comes around…

    2. Call it the Cruel system, a vacuum for sucking creativity

      1. It’s so sad. Think of the billions spent on DEI and genitals in the schools. The billions more pushing lies, pet projects, and irrelevant messages. Money is actively being used to downgrade our society. I’ve never thought it possible until lately.

      2. It’s absolutely awful.

      3. You ain’t lyin ugh 😩
