The world stops without teachers working. Many people rely on them for childcare so that they can go to work. Air traffic controllers are very important. But many orders of magnitude less important for our economy than teachers.
We can discuss abolition of cops some other time, but we aren’t going to see eye to eye on this. They and firefighters are not on the critical path of daily capitalism like teachers though.
The postal service is unable to legally strike. They struck in the 70s (?) illegally and got tons of concessions and no one went to prison for it. Seems like teachers could do something similar. We wouldn’t miss cops and, unfortunately, firefighters also wouldn’t be missed (we still love them, unlike cops).
Two conservatives ran. One was actively doing a genocide and the other one just really wanted to do a genocide. One was doing border fascism and the other just really wanted to do it. Her final pitch to the electorate was with a war criminals daughter.
You can’t run as the good guy while doing those things and expect your base to show. And it didn’t. In fact, Harris was the only person to ever lose the popular vote to Trump because she didn’t appeal to her base. She appealed to non fascist republicans, which don’t exist.
