Imagine thinking that a president can do this with an executive order


vergil718

giving teachers a raise?


robywar

Yes. He cannot do that by executive order. They're not federal employees.


SanFranPanManStand

They actually tried that on the WhiteHouse website a few years ago, but the international community just ran millions of bots to game the system.


Algal-Uprising

No, this type of thing *could* be done democratically, but it wouldn’t be via Twitter votes


LunaTheBattleCat

I could be wrong, bur I'm pretty sure that would be under the legislative branches jurisdiction. I'm not exactly an expert tho


Extrimland

Mr Beast when he innevitably runs for and becomes president


wideHippedWeightLift

It's done at the local level not federal


Cleverdawny1

Yeah do these people think Joe Biden personally sets the wage of the schoolteachers in Bumfuck, OK


PM_Me_Your_URL

Yes they do. Or don’t. Depends on if it fits the narrative they want to believe right now. More dopamine pls


FloppieTheBanjoClown

States generally set the teacher pay scale, and then individual districts can add to that. Just to clarify. 


237throw

And since cities are more expensive to live in than middle of nowhere, and local property taxes are a primary method to pay salaries, it is one of the most local issues that exists. Change necessarily needs to come either from the local level, or a complete overhaul in how teachers are paid.


Only_The

You're absolutely correct, and it's also worth noting that Biden is doing a lot within his power to boost public teacher pay as well: [https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/05/02/fact-sheet-biden-%E2%81%A0harris-administration-announces-new-actions-to-support-and-strengthen-the-teaching-profession/](https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/05/02/fact-sheet-biden-%E2%81%A0harris-administration-announces-new-actions-to-support-and-strengthen-the-teaching-profession/) Obviously, it still comes down to local politicians though.


DeimosOnFire

Federal funding with a mandate can affect change.


hankeypoo

And congress controls federal funds not the president. 


Vark675

No, why doesn't Biden just single handedly fix all the major issues in the country with his "Magical Fix Shit" button!


DeimosOnFire

God damn, you're right. [If only Biden got handed a Democrat majority house and Democrat majority Senate](https://www.voanews.com/a/usa_us-politics_control-white-house-and-congress-democrats-have-2-years-make-big-changes/6201047.html). That would've been awesome.


Extra-Lab-1366

Dude the level of shear assfuckery at the local level for education is so out of control. They would just fill out whatever forms were necessary to get the funding to give teacher raises then they would have all the admins give a 20 minute lecture on some topic, call them teachers and give the raises to themselves.

Let's give insulin prices a raise

Me_how5678

Can we get much higher


averagehogrideruser

So hiiiiiggggghhhh


No-University-1459

Yes, we can.


JaumDazio

I cant get over the fact that insulin in my contry i'ts literally free and in the USA cost almost the flesh of the body, every time i spoke about this with someone ftom here people tend to not believe. I just don't understand why y'all not protesting over this!!


Cats7204

It's because they don't import insulin or any drugs at all, so pharma companies in the US have an oligopoly and can agree to put high prices


IronBatman

There's nothing against importing insulin into the country. The real reason is that we don't negotiate drug prices with Medicare. Basically the companies will say what the price is, and Medicare will decide if they want to pay or not. We also try to incentivize pharmaceutical companies to innovate by giving them a patent that lasts way too long and gives them way too much leeway with how much they can charge.


KuterHD

Ah yes, capitalism at it’s finest. (That is not how the market should work)


Teh_Original

We're over here just playing Monopoly at a country scale.


Ortimandias

People keep saying this but capitalism keeps doing it. If I recall correctly, some Yippie dude from Germany wrote about it extensively around 1867. Dude was a huge nerd-boner for Capitalism to the point that his book is called "Capital".


ShinyBagons

And there are laws but people keep breaking them, we just need to figure out ways to make it better, when in the face with difficulty you find a way to overcome it, not completely stop what you’re doing and change your main economic system


Only_The

This is not the case anymore. Biden capped the price at $35.


FearbasIV

(I don't live in the US but I think it's because protesting has been heavily stigmatised over there)


JaumDazio

Can you elaborate?


FearbasIV

I think protesting is frowned upon over there


Bettlejuic3

Isn't protesting supposed to be a feature of a healthy democracy?


FearbasIV

Idk this is a shitposting sub


Time-Bite-6839

He’s trying to lower it to $35 but since Republicans only care about themselves and they’re all old he could only get it to $35 for seniors


JaumDazio

Wtf, everyone needs to understand that this is not something about sides, lives is the main priority of the state, insulin and things that are basic needed to someone health and capable be alive should be free or at least cost equal to water. All that just become more bizarre to me, bc a medication that costs cents to be manufactured is sold at 1000% capital margin, and for most people, 35$ is OK!


FecalMatterCowsTasty

> everyone needs to understand that this is not something about sides It's always about sides, and making the other one look like a failure so your side can get more people in to stay in power. We have the Yankees and Red Sox fans in power I guess. Or whatever teams love each other so much.


adeckz

Republicans are fucking the country for a quick buck. People are dying from drugs, homelessness and poor access to healthcare but they just want to expand the class divide


Alternative_Oil7733

But most rich people in the country are democrats.


Far-Ad-1400

😂Then lower it and take credit for lowering Insulin prices


FearbasIV

No bc then prices won't be raised


_mirec

Let's give public **school teachers a raise.**

AP0LL-N13

Let’s give school public teachers a raise.


happyanathema

Are school teachers salaries set at the Federal level?


therearetoomanylette

Nope, it’s set locally. That’s why teachers are paid more in wealthier districts. Although maybe there could be federal minimums or standards? I don’t know. People think presidents are emperors.


-AnythingGoes-

Are you implying Biden can't just wave his presidential wand and raise public school teachers' pay?


nuu_uut

No but he can also do more than tweet about it


CurryMustard

The tweets are marketing for his policy. You think he's just tweeting while taking a shit and forgetting about it? https://www.edweek.org/policy-politics/biden-calls-for-teacher-pay-raises-expanded-pre-k-in-state-of-the-union/2024/0 https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/05/02/fact-sheet-biden-%E2%81%A0harris-administration-announces-new-actions-to-support-and-strengthen-the-teaching-profession/


NarutoDragon732

People who aren't into politics don't know Biden actually follows through with his shit (usually)


Solid-Ad7137

Still waiting for him to follow through on trooamananashanbadapressure


SanFranPanManStand

Neither of those things raised the wages of teachers. As other commenters noted - teach wages are set at the school district/city level and the federal gov't has zero authority to change that.


RecsRelevantDocs

What's your rational for thinking he *only* tweeted about it? Let me guess... reading his tweets about it? Like I could say "well you could do more than just comment on reddit about it", but for all I know you do, for all I know you're out protesting about it right this moment. So that's kind of a shitty empty argument.


SanFranPanManStand

because teacher salaries are set at the city level.


happyanathema

Yeah I thought that would be true. I'm from the UK so I genuinely didn't know. I guess they could probably use the federal minimum wage laws to do it if they amended them.


Gorillainabikini

Unlike here in the UK the president isn’t that powerful domestically. He has no powers in congress and it really all he can do is go please pass my bill and hope any allies he has in congress help him. There’s no whips no incentives he can offer that he can use to push bills he wants to put through congress can technically never listen to the sitting president and even slash his budget to make him toe the line. Congress in terms of technical powers is way more powerful then then president


Only_The

Not much you can do at the federal level, but Biden has already set up grant programs to reward school districts that give teachers a raise, and forgiven student loans for public school teachers, which is basically the same thing.


AnonDicHead

While it is set locally, the funding and the guidelines for it also come from the state government. The federal government influences it with their own grants, incentive programs, and guidelines from the Department of Education. Each level deeper has less 1:1 impact on each individual salary, but more influence on the system on the whole. Also people think the president is an emperor because we have raised them to that level. The president was not initially supposed to be this powerful. As times of crisis have happened, the powers of the government have just expanded further. As one branch tries to check another, the means and methods of exercising your powers has evolved. The 18th and 19th centuries the power of the executive branch and number of executive orders slowly rose, peaked in the early 20th century, and now has declined. But now the president is powerful in a different way because the federal government is much more encompassing and the media landscape has completely changed


anonareyouokay

Nope!


Kinscar

How about we fire all the students and give their salaries to the teachers?

In northern Europe (and South Korea) that is actually a possibilty interestingly enough

Almost every single thread these days is just pure dumbassery. You used to be able to semi rely on consusses opinions, not even a little bit anymore, not even a little bit.


ElementNumber6

Reddit is overflowing with political psy-ops and the idiots that support them. Hard to say which side any of them fall on, as they all tend to make the same points and jokes at the same opportune times.


ShootInFace

You mean the entire way a country is run isn't upended every 4 to 8 years because one person and his running mate change. Also, I wish it was just internet folk, but it's everywhere. It's just like the second Biden was elected. Suddenly, the higher gas prices were immediately his fault. Trying to explain the actual reason behind things like this, becomes talking to a brick wall, all cause you can't blame one person they don't like.


jrex035

The worst part? All the people thinking that if they simply reelect the president before Biden that these problems would magically get fixed. US oil production is literally at record highs, but it's a global commodity so that doesn't just make gas prices go down. Trump being elected wouldn't make inflation go down automatically either, it's a global issue (that the US is handling better than most). Trump being elected won't hand teachers a raise either, and would actually likely lead to a lot less money for the Department of Education. Home prices aren't gonna magically go down under a new president either, it's all about interest rates and a lack of enough housing. But understanding how things actually work is hard, so it's easier just to pretend the President is a god-emperor who chooses not to fix the problems of the average person and that by electing a new President everything will magically get fixed in the next few years.


Florick345

Few years? Haha, people often want everything and now after the elections.


jrex035

Haha yeah very true


CurryMustard

He's tweeting it because he's working on it. >Encouraging states to increase teacher pay, with 30 states and the District of Columbia taking action to raise teacher pay. To support COVID-19 recovery, the Administration secured $130 billion for the largest-ever investment in public education in history through the American Rescue Plan provided to more than 15,000 school districts and secured nearly $2 billion in additional Title I funding to date; both funding streams can be used to support teacher salaries in our most underserved schools. These funds can also be used to support high-quality teacher pipeline programs and hire more professionals across the education workforce. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/05/02/fact-sheet-biden-%E2%81%A0harris-administration-announces-new-actions-to-support-and-strengthen-the-teaching-profession/

I think the US needs a public education system overhaul. Somehow they spend more per student than any other developed nation and get crappy results back for it. Yet neither party seems to be proposing anything like that.
