<a href="https://thisishell.com/interviews/1780-jennifer-berkshire" author="Chuck Mertz" source="This is Hell!">Breaking the Public Schools / Jennifer Berkshire</a> is an excellent interview about public-school funding with the very articulate---and clearly a trained podcaster---Jennifer Berkshire. <img attachment="jennifer_berkshire.jpg" align="right" caption="Jennifer Berkshire">She was a bit hesitant to go all-out revolutionary in some cases, preferring the more mealy-mouthed liberal-style formulations like (possibly paraphrasing here), <bq>It's interesting that Republican representatives who otherwise oppose government expenditures are so generous with the public wallet when it comes to their wealthier constituents. That seems, at first gloss, a tad hypocritical.</bq> C'mon! It's <i>fu@&king crooked.</i> They are <i>utterly without principles</i>, grubbing for money and power with not a single other overriding concern. Just. Say. It. <i>We have to start saying it.</i> We can't just keep watching them as they <i>rob our f@&king houses</i>, muttering "they really shouldn't be doing that. Registered-letter time." No. <i>It's torch and pitchfork time.</i> <hr> On a lighter note, the <i>Question from Hell</i> was <iq>why can't we have nice things?</iq>. At about <b>19:00</b> minutes left, they read the answer <iq>because we're a nation built on genocide and slavery,</iq> to which Chuck replied, <iq>Ah, I see. They've got the same bumper sticker I've got.</iq> This is a good line on its face...but it's made funnier when you know that Chuck is legally blind.
