New report shows education scores are plummeting across the country

The Education Scorecard found

- Reading scores are down in 83% of school districts in the US in the past 10 years

- Math scores dropped in 70% of districts

- Declines hit all demographics, both rich and poor districts

- Grade 8 reading scores on the Nation’s Report Card are now at their lowest point since 1990

- This is all happening despite record breaking spending

I think I found the real problem

In US K-12 public education, roughly 75%-85% of total funding goes towards paying salaries and benefits for administration

So we aren’t really spending on education because 85% of the money is being stolen to inflated salaries and benefits

The price of energy has exploded due to the Iran War. Not only has shipping volume sunk, but energy infrastructure across the Gulf has been destroyed.

Estimates place reconstruction of the infrastructure at over a year to reach pre-war production levels.

Risk appetite in South Korea is exploding:

Margin loans outstanding on Korean stocks are up to a record $24.3 billion.

Since the start of 2025, margin debt has surged +140% and is up +32% since the beginning of this year alone.

To put this into perspective, the value of leveraged bets on Korean stocks was ~$5.0 billion in 2020.

This also likely understates the real scale, given that many loans taken out to buy stocks are labeled under other categories.

Meanwhile, domestic investors have poured ~$25.3 billion into South Korean shares year-to-date.

Retail investors in South Korea are aggressively rushing into stocks.

Hundreds of people show up for the funeral of a World War II veteran with no family in Massachusetts.

WWII Veteran John Bernard Arnold III, a 98-year-old living in East Bridgewater, was only 6 when his mother died. His father passed away when Arnold was in his 20s.

Arnold never married and never had kids.

The veteran planned his own funeral about 10 years ago, wanting people to know about his deep faith and his love for the United States.

By the time of his death, Arnold had no remaining blood family, but started a "new family" with his friends at the Garrison Veterans Home.

"He walked into the room and he lit up the room. No matter what you are going through, he always knew how to bring a smile, make you laugh," said caretaker, Hailey Munroe.

When information about his funeral was posted online, hundreds of people in the community decided to show up and honor his life.

"Nobody should have to go alone, I don’t care who you are," one attendee said.

Rest in peace, John.
