They then sought to drive independent operators out of business. Even GTE (now Verizon) felt the pressure, even though they were a miniature version of AT&T. @Moon @djsumdog @se7en -

I've worked in Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri for months at a time and never found any of them as a whole to be horrible. What's special about IA? -

When I was 22-23, they were more than half my diet. -

Critical thinking has never been a goal of K-12 education, only of post-secondary. No employer wants to hire an 18 year old that argues about the tasks they're assigned. They want obedience without thinking. And preparing bodies for factories was one of the foundational intentions of compulsory schooling.@cy @dude @sim
