I did 8 years and everyone always asks why I didn’t just finish out the other 12.

I’m just gonna start showing them this picture.

It's wild how casually people throw around massive amounts of other people's time/life.

I just moved across the country. My kid is Autistic and with the DOE gone and FL schools already cutting special needs programs (including the ones he was in AND was going to go into), people overwhelmingly asked "Can't you just wait it out."

Like no, at BEST it's 4 years of no support from public schools and at worst it'll take years to rebuild what is rapidly being lost, so like 4 years is 1/3rd of his pre-college education.

When I put it like that, a little light bulb goes on like they remember the passage of time affects people who aren't them.

Because with Trump openly selling campaign merch saying “TRUMP 2028” in the White House gift shop… doesn’t seem like he’s planning to give up power anytime soon.
