A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Cheers.
I wasn't joking when I wrote this:
What, like your education system is so bad you can't even spell the names of your presidents? 😂
Yeah. https://www.educationnext.org/remembering-nation-risk-reflections-politics-policy/
Abolish the Department of Education. School choice vouchers. Standardized testing. All these memes started with Reagan. Not Regan, his Secretary of Treasury, but a lot of people confused Ronald Reagan and Donald Regan, even at the time.
Nah, that was just a spelling mistake from a non-american, I have never heard of Donald Regan (and don't know if that is a joke or not)
No sweat, friend. I was just using the opportunity to extend the "It's all Reagan's fault" train. And Donald Regan was a real guy appointed by Ronald Reagan. They didn't have the diversity of names we do now, so a lot of them repeated, rhymed, or required a middle initial to differentiate. Like all the George Bushes - GWB, GPB, GHWB...
Cheers for the info.
I am not american...
It is possible to know the history of another country but get something wrong occasionally.
Correcting spelling mistakes is the lowest rung of internet comments...
It's a joke on the mess that Reagan made of the education system, chill out
