This is what an ordinary German factory worker can get at his employer provided cafeteria for 8 Euros: Breaded veal, veggies, french fries and mashed potatoes, a dessert and a soft drink. Anywhere in the USA, this same exact meal will cost you 30, maybe 40 with tip. So no, don't listen to conservatives, they are paid to gaslight you to protect Trump and the GOP. The American economy is structured to maximize shareholder profits at the expense of everything and everyone. That is not how economies work in normal first or second world countries, where there is much more balance between capital and labor.

my best friend used to play a lot of chess, somewhere over a 2000 elo, hundreds of hours studying. when i asked him about it he said “complete waste of time. entirely for the ego, no tangible benefits whatsoever”

Can anyone explain to me how a scrawny little female is going to come anywhere near replicating this?

Look, pro-homeschooling people are piling on this guy but he's not wrong at all. I know of families who are straight-up failing to teach their children beyond a 2nd-grade education. Like 16-year-old kids who don't know what the Capital of the US is, have never heard of Toronto, and could not perform a basic algebra problem. While it's true that there are many excellent homeschooling families whose instruction far exceeds that of any public school, the fact is that the American system of "school your kids however you want" does also yield a lot of severely stunted kids who get stuck playing "catch-up" for the rest of their lives. My wife was homeschooled, we might homeschool, I'm not averse to the practice per se, but it's a fact that there's a whole world of multi-generational homeschoolers who are not and will not rise above a 2nd or 3rd grade education level by their own volition. Should the state intervene in these cases? I dunno, the answer to the question is not as "easy" as many make it out to be. The idea of barely getting through 'Mary Had a Little Lamb' at the age of 16 should be appalling, and it IS happening in some American homeschooler families.
