In 2022, 31-year-old Maggie Perkins quit her eight-year teaching job and got a job at Costco. She doesn’t regret the decision, and she’s never been happier. Here’s a look at a day in the life working at Costco.
Whataboutism at it’s finest. Your nation spends hundred of billions of dollars in military spending and you get to look at 300M~ sent to a nation that is fighting tooth and nails to defend itself against an aggressor.
Do you think that 300M~ could really make a difference if used to do a salary reform toward teachers? In 2018 US teachers were 3,652,000. Those 300M~ would add 89$ a year to each teacher salary. This instead of helping people who are fighting and dying under the fire of missiles to keep their freedom (isn’t it a value dear to you fellow Americans?) beign taken away from an authoritarian state.
I invite you to reflect more deeply before making these populist comments. People are dying and are appealing to the values you marketed for years. They are literally imploring the help of the west, because they know what being oppressed feels like.
If you want to help teachers, go vote for people who promote a better welfare and social system that can benefit people doing a public service. You can help your people and make the world a better place at the same time my dude
You took a totally unrelated argument to justify an internal policy problem. Just open the dictionary and look at the definition before commenting, maybe you’ll understand who’s acting like a parrot here: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/whataboutism
Dude that’s not how that works. The US is giving physical items for the most part that equals that cost and we already have wasted the budget on them to help pay for rich people that stay rush by making weapons.
Also it’s practically a loan that should Ukraine win the US will use them to be their next golden civilization and make the capitalists every red cent back of.
But yeah should we spend less on military upfront and put it back into internal issues like teacher salary. Fuck yeah. But also we need way more taxes for that to really amount to much. It’s 2 prong of not enough and shitty spending habits. Hip hip hooray but I would never think we should regret trying to help people being killed
OK Zelensky, we will give you $325M more. It’s no like your conflict at 5000miles away touches us directly.

I swear… “whataboutism” is the new “conspiracy theory” or “bigot”. Can’t you just fucking think by yourself, parrot?!
I feel a bit sorry you have written so much text, I didn’t pass the word and therefore didn’t read your argument.
