Claim: School choice ==> Koch brothers and Christian book publishers trying to starve public schools to death.

Reality: Bullying, gangs in public schools ==> parents tired of trying to get school district to intervene ==> students move to publicly funded charter schools

Did I mention that Bluesky is full of weird exteme politics and not much else?

@simsa03 That really stinks. And this part is the worst of all:

> And as the chef says that a new owner is already at hand, then I don't think it has been a sudden move but been a longer process, i.e., weeks or months. Also I told him in November that I'd have the operations in March and April, so that he could plan ahead for the shifts accordingly. And, well, he did, taking the opportunity not to pay the sick leave.

> I’m not the most tech savvy person but I CAN tell when a computer is plugged in to a working outlet. You don’t need to ask me three different ways.

> But IT folks gonna IT.

Yeah, and every IT person has dozens of stories about someone swearing that the device was plugged in and turned on. Then, when the IT person makes a visit, they plug it in and press the button. IT WORKS!

Now the user gets a sheepish grin and says "I don't understand technology" while the IT person hurriedly enters the resolution ("PEBKAC") into the ticket and closes it.

@lnxw37j1 Why? Well English is already hard to spell because we have lots of loan words, many of which are rule violators. But if we let spellchecker errors displace the rest of our language, every word will become a special case.

> I can only spell correctly due to spell checkers

Don't rely on that. Spellcheckers routinely violate the spelling rules of en_US. Learn the rules, so we can stop spellchecker errors from spreading throughout society and displacing correct spellings.

The thing about OCP is that banks and their regulators DID coordinate financial disenfranchisement against legal businesses. I hate payday lenders as much as anyone else (I've rescued a couple of family members by paying off their balances) and I'm happy for remedies against such predatory companies, as long as those remedies are legal and non-discriminatory.

But remembering that banks and their regulators did the same thing to ethnic minorities, I see any such thing as precedent to allow them to persecute anyone they desire.

For example, there's some evidence that they did the same thing against the cryptocurrency industry. [www theregreview org]

#TIL: Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, King George V of England, Tsar Nicholas of Russia were all cousins. https://www.brookings.edu/articles/the-family-relationships-that-couldnt-stop-world-war-i/ [www brookings edu] #today_I_learned

Traditionally, marriages between different nations' royal families were intended to make war impossible. However, it didn't work this time.

  The Family Relationships that Couldn't Stop World War I
  
  from Fred Dews
  
  In the latest Brookings Essay, "The Rhyme of History: Lessons of the Great War," noted historian Margaret MacMillan compares current global tensions to the period preceding the Great War. One aspect of the war upon which she remarks is the close connection among the three principal monarch of the age, Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany; King George V of England; and Tsar Nicholas II of Russia. In fact, they were all first cousins to each other.
