    How much should it have cost?

    Seems like a pretty hefty salary for a Mayor

    End the war on drugs and give parents the option where to send their kids for school? I'm in.

    But have you won the lottery yet?

    I've found myself agreeing with economist Emily Oster throughout most of the pandemic when it comes to children and covid. She interviewed the CEO of Moderna. One sided for sure, but a good read nonetheless regarding children and the vaccine. https://emilyoster.substack.com/p/interview-with-stephane-bancal-ceo

    One of two books on my son's 8th grade summer reading list at Kealing includes "Stamped: Racism, Antiracism and You. A Remix" written by notable CRT theorist, ibram kendi. I got the book on tape and plan on listening to it with him when he and I are on a road trip this summer. I'll listen to it with him. There'll be things I agree with, there'll be things I disagree with and we'll discuss them both. It's much better to debate things you disagree with openly vs trying to ban or cancel it We read To Kill A Mockingbird when I was in 8th grade which I think allows for similar conversations.

    Teacher's Unions have done fuck all the past year to get kids back in the classroom. "When you're being run out of town, get out in front and call it a parade"

    I wouldn't hold out much hope for the tape deck, or the Creedence

    Do they publish zip codes of where the new positive cases / hospital admits are coming from? If so, let's retrofit the ice cream trucks with moderna freezers and drive around.

    The sunshine-and-lollipop version of that article is "holy shit, look at how few olds are in the hospital!! The vaccines are working! Hospitalizations are way down, but we're still seeing people, even young ones, get admitted. The unhealthy ones are still having a hard time with it. But vaccines are now readily available so get yours today, even if you live a healthy lifestyle."

    Would've been interesting to see how the vote would've gone if we went hyper-local and said the districts that voted against the camping ban will be allowed to have camping in within those district boundaries.

    Usually you pay double for that kind of action, Cotton

    Lol at King Mayor results

    Nothing surprises me. This town was able to convince a large amount of voters that Uber/ Lyft drivers would rape you, and cabbies wouldn't, simply because they'd been background checked.

    Look, the TSA has always been the top theatre troupe in the country. They're just solidifying their place for the next ten years. We almost had them when we were able to bring gallon sized hand sanitizer on the planes, but they're not falling for that shit twice.

    The government will amend the mask guidelines right after they decide whether or not we still need to take our shoes off at the airport.

    No clue. It took a while to get everyone masked up and it'll take a while to unwind that same thought process I guess. I'm vaccinated, but I still wear my mask when I walk my kids up to school. I do it mostly because everyone else is doing it and they asked us to back in Nov when we went back. But we're far enough along that most Texans are thisclose to their second shot if they want it. 2-3 weeks from now, we should stop thinking that it's impolite to not wear a mask.

    A lot. They're just not as prevalent in this state.

    Has China's stats moved in the last 12 months? We all know they're full of shit, but I'd figure they'd post a couple deaths here and there so that is wasn't blatantly obvious.

    those face tats look like some of his friends punked him with clip art while he was passed out.

    HEB should drop their mask requirement, but then make everyone pass by the pharmacy before shopping and get their shot if not already vaxxed.
