Since the Iowa caucus I can't get this image out of my head

This is how I see the Bernie supporters, they way they all systematically all jump on the same thread...


It's like they are sitting around coordinating their next post.

Sorry, but it just makes me think of a room of people sitting in a room focusing one one thing.

US Map compares education levels with other countries state by state - The Sad State of Education

What Happens When Each State Is Renamed According to Its Education Level



Americans like to think they are #1 in everything, but when it comes to education, the U.S. quickly loses boasting rights. Math and science are particularly rough: U.S. ranks 28th in the world for those subjects. Although we may be a developed nation, when education is broken down by state, we aren't all that different from countries that are more economically challenged.

HomeSnacks.com used information from the U.S. high school graduation rates from the U.S. Census and compared them against the education index of each country from the United Nations Development Program.

The result? A map of the U.S. with each state renamed as the country that resembles their level of education.

Boeing CEO pitches F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jet to India

NEW DELHI:

US aircraft maker Boeing Co is in a “conversation” on manufacturing its F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jet in India, Chief Executive Officer Dennis Muilenburg was quoted on Wednesday as saying on his first visit to the country.


“We see the Super Hornet as an opportunity … to tie directly into the ‘Make in India’ strategy,” Muilenburg told the Hindustan Times in an interview whose authenticity was confirmed by the company. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Make in India’ drive is designed to expand India’s industrial base.

Boeing was willing to back the project with billions of dollars in investment to India meet its operational needs, according to Muilenburg’s comments in the interview.

I tried to find this on a US media site, but nothing. No mention of this in our media. We are now outsourcing the Military Industrial Complex.

At one time, you could trust what was posted on DU to be solid

If it wasn't it would get ripped to shreds in a matter of minutes.

Even in the decisive campaigns on 2008 and 2012 and other times, it was fairly well trustworthy information posted on DU. The last several months it has become a big propaganda machine and you can't trust most of what is posted. The integrity is gone.

I post this here because anywhere else the parties that have polluted this discussion board would attack it as they do.

Rant off!
