    Ingraham said Walz has a “tiny brain” and slammed his handling of the chaotic aftermath of George Floyd’s murder in his state. Ingraham then said: “Sure, Tim Walz was a popular teacher but listen to him for five minutes on YouTube and you realize why so many high schoolers don’t know much about the constitution. They learn from people like Walz.”

    Ironically, Ingraham seems to not know much about the US states. Later in the show, she told two panelists: “If you know Minnesota well, and I know it well — especially Milwaukee — it’s changed.”

    “I know it well”, the sheer confidence in the middle of getting a basic geography fact wrong. Just perfect.

      We need to have people renew their Highschool diploma every 5 years like we do for drivers licenses.

        They should also have to pass a certification exam to use self-checkout. If it’s too hard for you to do it without making the customer assistance light flash, they have cashiers that will do it for you.

          Those things freak out at the smallest problem. I’ve had them call for help because a UPC wasn’t in the system, a discount barcode didn’t scan, because I used a coupon, because I brought my own bags…

        Oh God that sounds horrible. I’ve forgotten so much math. I mean algebra and calculus are probably still hanging on but past that who knows?

          The general public doesn’t really need more beyond algebra and precal normally in day to day. I would be fine with it being more general in the maths section.
