 @b07f245d It kind of feels like they surveyed 1,000 corporations.  Though the constant attacks on public education have certainly helped beat a lot of critical thinking out of the population as well. So many people are busy just trying to survive in the US right now I think many do just take what they are told by the loudest politicians as being true. 

My neighbor in Oklahoma watched a video on YouTube and now suspects that the government set Maui on fire with some sort of Regan era Star Wars defense space laser.  I don’t know how to even begin to get him to think critically about the BS the GOP is feeding him. 
 @2365d419 @b07f245d My husband also heard this from a customer of his. Something about Oprah and Gates as well. Wut?
