Waiting for Trump to be all “When we retake what’s rightfully ours, I’ll make sure those who were wrongly imprisoned by Crooked Joe Biden are exonerated as the patriots they are!”
He’ll do it, but he’ll charge them a few mill to get a pardon, then they’ll start a pateron/GoFundMe/Kickstarter to fleece their rubes for more money, and then they’ll split the cash.
If Trump was literate, he could write a masterclass on getting fucking morons to send you money.
At least 521 U.S. towns and cities with populations of 1,000 to 200,000 disbanded policing between 1972 and 2017, according to a peer-reviewed 2022 paper by Rice University Professor of Economics Richard T. Boylan.
In the past two years, at least 12 small towns have dissolved their departments.
That works out to an average of 11 per year. I haven’t needed to think about numbers in a long time. Did I fuck that up? Cause if not, this sounds like a lot of panic over losing fewer police departments than the norm.
They already found him guilty in the 2022 defamation case. The 2019 case is for the same thing (at a different time, he did it more than once) so the judgement effectively covers both cases. He’s already been found guilty, now it’s just time to determine damages. Again.
And if he keeps repeating the same lies, they’ll keep charging him. Now it’s just a game of “will he stfu or go broke first?” My chips are on “broke”.
It’s a milder strain, but that’s no relief for the immunocompromised and elderly. It’s all over airports with people coughing, and will tear through schools now.
Women in female-dominated roles such as cleaners and caterers had complained that they were missing out on bonuses given to staff in male-dominated roles, such as refuse collectors.
In 2008 I worked in News Production for a local television station. There are two examples that come to mind to show how shallowly they train journalists.
First, there was NASA, they were doing testing of new lunar rover they planned to send back to the moon in a city a little over an hour and a half away. I brought it to the attention of our news department who quickly chided me with “isn’t that outside our coverage area?” as if we didn’t have a website that broadcasted to the whole planet, technically. Well, we only got coverage because me and another guy from Production called the NASA press corps and got an invitation for our news station. We went to the news manager and they sent someone out, but we never got any video online. For the next week, still photos from the test were the top story on WIRED’s website for over a week. We could have had that traffic, but nope. “Outside our coverage area.”
Another time was when there was a scandal with an official running for office. It was the governors race, and weeks before the vote, a new case was dropping that was showing one of the two candidates for governor getting illegal funding for his campaign. I went to the site of the prosecutor, downloaded all the relevant data, and put it on journalists desks. I got asked by the Producer “Are you sure this is true? I didn’t see anything on AP Newswire.” Jesus tittyfucking Christ I guess these people had never heard of BREAKING A FUCKING STORY before. We ended up running it after about ten different State papers ran stories about it, because apparently it’s not news unless someone else reported on it first and you just do a copy-paste job from AP Newswire.
This is disgusting. Hopefully this whole thing fails before Texas can enact the law.
As for teachers still being underpaid, that is the point. They are trying to gut public schools. All the teachers will need to make the switch to a private school, eventually, because that’s where the demand will be.
The state will continue this voucher program until the majority of people have moved their children to private schools. Public schools will be left in a state of disrepair once they loose funding for every student that makes the switch.
The private schools will gradually raise tuition so that parents are paying as much as they can afford, even with the voucher. After everyone has move thier child over, they will discontinue the voucher program.
If the parents want their child to continue in a school that does any good, they will pay out thier ears. Everyone else will end up paying a huge chunk of thier check to send their child to whatever mediocre school is within their budget, or else they will have to go back to public school, which is now a underfunded shitshow.
Don’t worry the minorities will still stay in public school. They’re already converting the libraries in Houston to detention centers for “misbehaving” kids. Next they’ll throw some bars on all the windows. Then when they graduate, they can move on to the next barred facility. Where they will provide labor for $0.30 an hour. Working just as intended.
