Illiteracy has become such a serious problem in our country that 130 million adults are now unable to read a simple story to their children

21% of adults in the US are illiterate in 2022

54% of adults have a literacy below 6th grade level

45 million are functionally illiterate and read below a 5th grade level

44% of the American adults do not read a book in a year

The Top 3 states for highest child literacy rates were Massachusetts, Maryland, and New Hampshire, in that order (highest to lowest).

The Bottom 3 states for child literacy rates were Louisiana, Mississippi, and New Mexico, (highest to lowest).

Any American here that could tell me if it's legit. It's shockingly low.

"Volkswagen's management wants to close at least three plants, cut tens of thousands of jobs, and also slash pay by 10% for remaining staff, according to a statement from staff representatives."

Volkswagen Passenger Cars CEO Thomas Schäfer said: "We have to get to the root of the problems: we are not productive enough at our German sites and our factory costs are currently 25 to 50 percent above target. This means that some of our German plants are twice as expensive as our competitors."

He stressed that operations "cannot continue as before".

Algeria and mauritania sign military cooperation protocol. Interesting to note that at the same time morocco bombed mauritanian civilians in the liberated territories of western Sahara and just recently unveiled a drone developed with the help of the entity. Morocco took the habit since normalization to bomb civilians from other nations in western Sahara as a response.

I hope to god that the Chineses will not make the same mistake that the russians and iranians did and entertain negotiations and peace talks with the west in condition of them backing off.

It's cathartic that this time the zionists can't just mass a large number of tanks without being attacked like they did in front of gaza.

Just had my a talk with somebody who seemed distraught about what was going in Lebanon asking me about what was hezbollah doing and if all thoses loses that the zionits are claiming are true. She is a really smart woman but it made me realise that most people aren't like the people here on this site who are well versed in how the empire function and the situation on the ground. It Shows the effectiveness of the total information blackout of the entity as well. I just showed her video of hezbollah tunnels and talked quickly about the logistical network of the resistance.

People shouldn't be to surprised by the sadism and violence of the zionist entity. They represent what the western imperialism always stood for. They just don't bother to hide it now because of fanatism and it's the last western colonial project in the world that the west will be able to implement if they fail in Palestine. The depraved behavior of their soldiers is typical of colonial imperialism as well.

The only reason to check on American internal politics is to see how rotten and dysfunctional the empire is getting.
