    "Critical thinking doesn't mean, oh, you got to think hard. It's important. It's a damn skill and it's something that you must apply. Again, distinct stuff. It's research. It's actually you doing the thinking. You're doing everything and then some more than, and you're using the AI's and the computers as a tool, not your actual you're acting as if it's way smarter and it's giving you factual information."

    "Don't like them. But this right here is appalling because if someone is homeless and they don't have anywhere to go and if they want to sit down, I mean, their body needs to rest and on a bench and fall asleep during the daytime because you make them get up during the night so you can't be here, then they do that. Right. So when they were allowed to put the encampments up, what she said was okay, right. And they had an area for it."

    "They're alcoholics, they're drug addicts. That's not the case. The case is that their children cannot go to school. The schools are being closed down. It's not even a choice. They cannot go to school, which means at least one of the parents can't work. Or they have to have a latchkey kid at the age of five that eats peanut butter sandwiches every day for lunch, or it's this big mess. So we know what isn't working."

    "It's amazing to think how this started, but where we're at right now is not a good spot. And I certainly hope that these are just isolated instances and we're not seeing a bigger trend that is going to start snowballing. However, it's in the back of my mind and I am very, very concerned about it. And I am concerned about election day and what might happen on election day. I think it could get ugly for the next 60 days here."

    "Schools are closing across the US due to violence. I work in a school on the east coast in New England, and no, they have not been closing due to violence. They've been out of control over the last couple of years because God forbid if administration disciplines them. The school that I have been instructing at last year, the majority of the bathrooms were vandalized, worth, I believe, $50,000 worth of damage where they had to lock every bathroom, including staff."
