If your elected leaders (especially the "left" leaders who are championing the nationalist anti-Trump crusade) wanted to save the education system, all they have to do is raise taxes on the Trump-lovin' billionaires. I guess the patriotism ends right where wealthy class interests begin.

To be fair, we could also track most publications by the existentialists I’m interested in by month of publication (and in a few cases that may mean something).
