It's quite disturbing how many people are supportive of others losing their human rights if they are on the wrong side of some ideological divide. Some self described libertarians are very fascistic in reality. Like Trashcan Dani.

Teachers don’t want to strike. They want to teach. But the UCP has pushed them to the brink by refusing to invest in classrooms, ignoring basic needs, and treating bargaining like a political game. Supporting public education means supporting the people who make it possible. #BetterisPossible

Announcing you're going to build 90 new schools isn't a flex. It's an admission of failure. It's writing-off a generation lost to overcrowded classrooms that you can never get back. You failed those kids and their future.
