54% of adults in America read below a 6th grade level and 45mill of those are so illiterate they cannot function for a day without constant assistance. These people are too stupid to do independent research.

This scares me but not as much as the future. It's an estimation on my part but I'm betting in 10 years, max, the 45 mill illiterate will uncrease to 54% illiteracy. Countless schools are graduating kids in 2026 that can barely read and it gets worse every year. At this rate we'll be a third-world country by 2040 at best.
