The share of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents who believe that President Joe Biden’s 2020 election win was not legitimate has ticked back up, according to a new CNN poll fielded throughout July. All told, 69% of Republicans and Republican-leaners say Biden’s win was not legitimate, up from 63% earlier this year and through last fall, even as there is no evidence of election fraud that would have altered the outcome of the contest.

    All that money goes to shareholders in the private businesses which are used as contractors in the public school system. Just as with healthcare where Americans pay up to three times as much per capita compared to countries with universal healthcare, it all goes into the pockets of middlemen as profit.

    In other comparable countries this doesn’t happen because they aren’t relying on private contractors, instead they have more money actually going to education than the US.

      What private contractors are taking up the school funding? If that’s true, sounds like a fundamental problem with our education system, that throwing more money at the problem won’t solve.
