There was another article about teachers today. It feels as though much of the problems in the U.S are self inflicted - how can a country that is home to best innovation on the planet, that attracts best brains from all over the world, that has insane amount of wealth, abundance of raw materials etc, get so wrong about basic things like teachers' pay, near zero protection for employees and so on? It is mind boggling - these problems just shouldn't exist in a country like U.S and still they do :(
- mmirate3 8y agoBecause, for most of these problems ... from the point-of-view of anyone with enough resources to solve them, they are non-problems and/or not severe enough for the solution to be worth the cost. While that remains true, there will never be any rational reason to solve them.

- thatoneuser 8y agoI think those things we’re “wrong” about are a very key component to our wealth and innovation. We have a system that funnels talent and labor up through the chain to create more and more profit for the top. I mean think about our visa program - it’s literally designed to scrape the top % of talent from everywhere else in the world, while underpaying is pretty much guaranteed. I really don’t see these problems getting anything but worse as time goes on.
