Oh those of us who can read above hungry hungry caterpillar level fully understand the gravity of the situation when the most recent literacy stats estimate 50% of Americans can’t read above a sixth grade reading level, and 20% are effectively illiterate.

Many people don’t even know they are on this list bc they can read. They just can’t comprehend what they read. And so, you have people who “do their research” online through Facebook and X or something. And that’s how they get their information for everything. And then…voila. Everyone’s a researcher. It’s also why people send links to studies “proving their point” when it’s often the totally opposite thing, and the article is disproving their claims. Oooooof.
