The House passed no meaningful legislation last session. They are on track to pass only hateful, vengeful bills this year. The Senate, hopelessly mired in posturing, isn't much better. Arizona's legislature is at odds with the Governor, so nothing gets done.... except by the State Superintendent of Schools who is going out of his way to promote charter schools.
The Secretary of Education was interviewed and spent several minutes talking about the importance of A One. A One should be in every grade, even kindergarten and first grade can benefit from A One and we will be a leader with A One. TBG and I were totally flummoxed; why was she promoting steak sauce?
The host was happy to explain that she was referring to Artificial Intelligence..... AI.
Y'know those people who use I instead of me incorrectly because they think it makes them sound smarter than they really are? I will put up with a lot but please do not mess with grammar, the English language, reading simple phrases. Just don't.
A local water project, part way through development, is stymied, its infrastructure refurbishing funds frozen by an unelected ketamine addict. United Airlines wants me to be certain that my name on my official photo id is exactly the same as the name I use on their website because TSA is really concerned about that now. There's a humanitarian disaster in Myanmar and an American presences is noticeably absent.
Canadians want nothing to do with us. Mexico's president is having some success, treating him as a recalcitrant child whose temper tantrums must be managed, but who can be calmed by a using big words and a sweet treat. The EU is getting credit for UNICEF aid packages and, once again, the USA is absent.
No one is answering the phones at the IRS or Social Security. Kids and parents are afraid to leave their homes; Homan's goons may be hovering.
Where is my money going?
Can I designate it all to supporting Ukraine?
We filed, but we didn't feel good about it at all.
Yup.
ReplyDeleteThe appointment of Linda McMahon to be Secretary of Education rendered irony officially dead.
ReplyDeleteCalifornia sends more taxes to Washington than it gets back in benefits. There is talk of not paying those federal taxes and just keeping the money right here in our own economy which is the 5th largest in the world.
