Federal Worker RTO and Buyout Offers
Great (and I’m betting sad) thing is we’ll know the answer to this very soon. I think you’re a fuckin idiot to assume anything above board will occur with Trump and Elon at the helm backed by a nutless congress operating under threat from Elon.

Fort Worth is exploding
Damn that’s wild seeing both dezavala and daggett on closure watch, that’s essentially all of fairmount and Ryan place wiped out. Surely they would just be consolidated into one

Fort Worth is exploding
That's not going to happen to Stripling. My wife is the architect on the new building/renovation (she did Paschal before this). I have no inside info, but my wife pointed out that Stripling now has several dedicated science rooms, a band hall among other things that are completely inappropriate for an elementary school or pretty much anything besides maybe a very small high school. Even FWISD wouldn't just walk away from all the bond money being spent there. Also, that pla presented last night is pretty dependent on some new money (most likely the form of a new medium sized bond) to add classrooms, etc. to the existing schools taking on students from the closed schools (maybe they can use some of the unspent 2021 bond money?). That's even a harder sell if they are viewed as wasting the existing bond money. Good intel and I saw that on the stripling construction page, all the speciality additions. $60M price tag expected, about 50% complete per that site. After seeing what they’ve allowed downtown to turn into along with panther island boondoggle, I’ll never say never with this city. This is not to mention how bad they shit the bed on attracting corp relocations as every other part of dfw exploded with job growth (distribution centers ain’t gonna cut it) also, the library cd purchase was $600k to be spent from 2017 to 2019.

Good lord that would be so perfectly Fort Worth for them to close Stripling MS just as a massive reconstruction comes down the home stretch, paid for by the ‘21 bond package. On par with the library dropping insane cash on a music CD collection ~5 yrs ago. This city’s leadership is so incredibly dumb, gullible, or on the take. Maybe all 3.

Fort Worth is exploding
somebody earlier on here said they’d print money and I was kinda wait and see… but holy shit their soft opening has been line out the door daily along with a cop directing drive thru back up. looking at the menu, I don’t get it at all. I also lived 2 blocks from the lowest Greenville location and never saw a line (and never went myself). Generally busy/populated but not packed.

DOGE: America Fucking Around
Why don’t the free market folk who are also so damned concerned with govt spending and handouts look into dialing back the 700bn+ in oil/gas subsidies

Texas -- a failed state
If you don’t already listen, Texas Take podcast is a solid listen for Texas politics. Braddock is a bit blow hard-y, but the info and historical context is solid. this week dove into voucher bullshit. Damn good intel.

Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
That screech tweet cracks me up, especially the “less chillin at the mall”… talk about exposing yourself as being out of touch with the utes. Not to mention how many parents today bemoan the lack of ‘real’ socialization in general.

The destruction of America's public education system
the parents in red states with special ed kids, talking even “lite” issues like a touch of dyslexia, who voted maga are gonna be blown away by what abolishing the education dept will do to their kids’ education and development. When edu dept goes bye bye the states will have full control of their own shit show.

Abbott being Abbott
On that first paragraph I could really get into the weeds on the feedback loop regarding slashing tax rates and the overinflating of commercial values. As well as the insanity of rates being set based on the certified roll before litigation is wrapped on values.

Abbott being Abbott
As part of the ptax relief, he wants 10billion to go toward it after both house and senate marked 1bn. Wants an extra 0 among friends. Additionally he wants any tax rate hikes requiring a vote to be approved by a 2/3rd super majority instead of simple 50% plus 1. Bc I guess the ppls vote matters, but only if it’s overwhelming
