You're being too high-minded. This is about absent parents and a school board that has already given up on students before they even enroll. This is not a "systemic" national issue...its an issue for inner city schools where

Gun stores cannot keep inventory on their shelves. In 2020 America gained five million new gun owners. Restrictions have done nothing to curb demand. History tells us gun demand is proportional to threats of new restrictions...so oddly en

does anyone really believe anything pseudoanonymously contributed on the web anymore? I don't. For all you know, the person you are "debating" on disqus is a bot. Or a sockpuppet. Or someone real who is only taking a contrary

Kicking the can. The scheduled landing is already beyond Biden's first term, so this seems to amount to the administration telling NASA it is free to spend its allowance however it wants. Finally squashing this will be someone else&#x2

The entire peacetime power of industrialized governments is their fiat currency. Without it, these governments don't even exist. No alternatives to fiat can be tolerated in the long term. An easy solution would be to just ban crypto fr

If you remove stimulus and money printing, real GDP probably shrank last year. These numbers are as faked as the employment stats at this point...but the idea that the world's largest economy is shrinking would be a massive shock to di

A plan that calls for a massive increase in low-income housing but has no idea who will build it. Low income housing isn't profitable for developers, which is why in thirty years of the too-expensive Bay Area, hardly any has been built

The not-homeless, not-drug-addict rest-of-society is already well on its way with its response...gated communities. No homeless, no open drug use...all protected by private property laws and private security. Get ready for more of them. It

Doubt it...Tesla has made OTA updates a new baseline/table-stakes for the industry, I would expect everyone to follow suit eventually. Have to wonder if this "partnership" will also result in Waymo tech ending up in Ford vehi
