The Lounge 0001 [From the Beginning]

ftfy…

10 minutes outside of any city and the US is all the same. Farms, rednecks, country music, and boring for the most part.

Edit:
Well… what they call country… imo country died in the late 90s early 2000s as that’s when the pop in it finally took over. Now it’s just pop sung with a southern accent.

Minnesota in a nut shell

its fairly bad here. Were so republican that schools are shutting down due to a lack of funding because our governor is cutting taxes beyond reason

2.9-5.2% tax rate on average. Most tend to fall towards the lower end

Red states are big fans of guns so it’s no surprise they’re shooting themselves in the foot

Here we have the opposite problem sort of. Schools still have lack of funding, but taxes are outrageous.

I like my guns…

That’s fine you don’t seem stupid. Only stupid people shoot themselves in the foot.

RIP. Our governor recently proposed a bill to cut taxes even further but our supreme court had to step in and stop him because schools were so underfunded. My last school you were required to donate toilet paper and kleenx

What was country is now bluegrass and folk, lol.
That modern “country” shit is red neck pop

you would be correct. The proposed bill would underfund schools by around 1.1B dollars :frowning:

I actually really like bluegrass if it’s instrumental or only sparse lyrics. Of course I listen to music more for the appreciation of musicianship than anything else so that’s probably why.

Last year Minnesota had a budget surplus our governor to gave a good chunk of it to the schools iirc

Closest I get to this is Wheeler Walker Jr.
but that’s because it’s Wheeler Walker Jr… I’d post some of his music but considering the premiere of his first album was on pornhub I don’t think that’d be appropriate… it’s hilarious music though.

Here schools aren’t really underfunded because England and all the taxes but the Education system is so fucked that most teachers end up quitting so we have a huge shortage of them now.

There is a shortage of teachers in most of the US too because not many people want to do it, many can’t do it and quit, plus the pay it shit.

a fair chunck of our budgets goes towards transportation. iirc its around 10%.

How people should think of teaching

Don’t forget about all the shootings.

Like @Main_Main said. the us is having a teacher shortage. Part of the problem is that schools want good coaches so they might brush off a good teacher in hopes of getting a good coach. atleast thats the main problem here
