Teachers in the neighborhoods around me start at 50-55 and most make 70-90k
Teachers are hugely overpaid.

I looked it up and I seem to be getting wildly varying answers. I think it probably depends on how many kids are in the school board. Some say starting around $22/hr or $40k, others are saying 100k average. I figured 100k was more like a university professor. But I guess not. I wanted to be a teacher at one time, maybe I should have after all.

That seems like a lot. If that's true then I would say they are for sure overpaid..
In Ontario there is something called the Sunshine List that lists every public employee who makes over $100k in salary. There are tens of thousands of teachers on it. Also a fair number of bus drivers.

Problem in Ontario is that new teachers are in supply teacher hell for years because a lot of the boomers are still holding on to their jobs. A lot give up before they ever get a permanent position I think.

Yeah that's it exactly, it's certainly not that they'd have a hard time finding people to do it for a lot cheaper. 100k+ would be with working a shit ton of overtime though I think. My wife's parents were subway drivers and they own 3 houses in 2 countries.

Milwaukee county bus drivers routinely make over 100k the other half make 80ish.
Every highschool teacher teaching advanced placement classes in this town is making well over 100k

I would think a parent would want a person with that much influence over your child’s development to be well paid. Seems like the last place you’d want to be skimpy.

I think I concur. And I would add rap music that glamorizes violence and misogyny as well.
And for the record, I'm an admitted hypocrite in this regard to some degree because I have certainly enjoyed my fair share of violent movies, video games and rap music.
I was just reading an article the other day on violent biker gangs and how there has been a large spike in new members and gangs, and the theory was the show Sons of Anarchy had a lot to do with that spike. Now it certainly could just be coincidence, but...it wouldn't surprise me.

Absolutely. It instils a destructive mindset.

People should worry less about what other people make or benefits they receive. A lot of Americans seem to be less motivated by improving their own situation, and more motivated by a perceived unfair advantage other people shouldn’t be getting.

What do you think happens in a day of kindergarten? Do you think I don't have of my own influence on their development? Do you think that there is any number less than 112k that would still constitute as well paid? Did I say they shouldn't be fairly compensated for their work?

Aside from the parents, primary school teachers have more influence on a child’s development than any other adults.
Why is 112k madness? Because you’re not making $112k?

Its preferable to have a few tons of highly radioactive waste to shoot into space to spewing out gigatons of CO2 and associated combustion gases.
1 kg uranium = 10,000 barrels of oil = 7.33 thousand tons of CO2
I agree with using nuclear power, but shooting the waste into the sun? How to you get it up there? burn fuel?
