In Germany, teaching the Holocaust is mandatory.

It includes visits to concentration camp, museums, etc. They don't shy away from their own ugly history. Yet the kids aren't damaged; they're strengthened, matured, humbled. The U.S. needs to do same with slavery.

Not that complicated.

A strong next generation is precisely what Republicans don't want to see in the young

They want murderously insane child soldiers like Kyle Rittenhouse, not inspirational & smart children like Amanda Gorman

They want a next generation as simply consumers, not citizens

They want underpaid serf labor hopelessly mired in apathy & despair

They want addicts, to violence, to rage

They want the next generation saddled with debt; student loans & mortgages

They want a Nazi do-over

@Npars01 totally agree esp. the serf part. These jobs at Amazon or Walmart or any of these big box retailers try to get as close to actual slavery as they can get. Why work at Target if it isn’t a wage you can live on ?

@annietime

Retailers like Target and Walmart, instead of obeying the "rules of the free market" and raising wages to attract workers in a "labor shortage", they switched to self-checkout automation.

Republican billionaire donors will do absolutely anything to avoid paying a livable wage

Including adopting expensive yet faulty technology where frustrated consumers give up trying to scan items, and abandon their shopping to go where a retailer values the time of their customers more.

@Npars01 @annietime I love it when shoppers abandon huge carts of non-perishable items mid-checkout. It makes me laugh.

@ablackcatstail @annietime

Self-checkout is advertised as "time-saving". It isn't.
