is anyone else struggling to reconcile with the fact
that there's a significant portion of Americans
who are just insane
Between 2022 and 2023
the National Literacy Institute reported that 54% of US adults
have a literacy below sixth grade
meaning that they have a tough time reading and spelling words like flammable
institution sympathetic psychology
and also that **45** million Americans
or about one in seven
have a reading level below fifth grade and are functionally illiterate
and that 21% of them are illiterate
that's your reasoning not that they're insane
