Dismantling of #DoE

That is all correct but just scratching the surface. This is no partisan fight anymore. This is an all-out assault on #democracy.
Destroying education for the masses again is the aim:

In the fall of 1972, when campaigning for a second term in office, 🇺🇸 U.S. President Richard Nixon announced that the rate of increase of inflation was decreasing, which has been noted as "the first time a sitting president used the third derivative to advance his case for reelection."

This means that the "jerk (3rd derivative)" of the price level is negative.

Equivalently, the "jerk" of purchasing power is positive.

In other words, the "acceleration" of inflation is negative.

\[I(t)=\alpha^2\dfrac{\mathrm dP(t)}{\mathrm dt}=-\beta^2\dfrac{\mathrm d\Pi(t)}{\mathrm dt}>0\]

\[\dfrac{\mathrm dI(t)}{\mathrm dt}=\alpha^2\dfrac{\mathrm d^2P(t)}{\mathrm dt^2}=-\beta^2\dfrac{\mathrm d^2\Pi(t)}{\mathrm dt^2}>0\]
\[\dfrac{\mathrm d^2I(t)}{\mathrm dt^2}=\alpha^2\dfrac{\mathrm d^3P(t)}{\mathrm dt^3}=-\beta^2\dfrac{\mathrm d^3\Pi(t)}{\mathrm dt^3}<0\]

where, \(I(t)\), \(P(t)\), and \(\Pi(t)\) are inflation (rate), price level (function), and purchasing power of money (or simply value of money) at time \(t\) respectively. And \(\alpha^2\) and \(\beta^2\) are positive real constants.

Celebrating with Philippe Halsmann's Jump series: The Men

“In a jump, the subject, in a sudden burst of energy, overcomes gravity. He cannot simultaneously control his expressions, his facial and his limb muscles. The mask falls. The real self becomes visible. One has only to snap it with the camera,”
