@Axtremus said in 100 Students in a School Meant for 1,000: Inside Chicago’s Refusal to Deal With Its Nearly Empty Schools: Is it really bureaucracy, or the people/voters don’t want to let go? I think both. In this case the people/voters are also the bureaucracy so kind of the worst case to get progress in this situation.

A quote from a progressive white female lawyer on a Trump hating podcast yesterday, went something like "I loved Justice Jackson's dissent so much. She was just Black Girling all over that court." This was in reference to the birthright citizenship case, where Barrett's majority opinion specifically called out Jackson's dissent as removed from any legal grounding whatsoever.

Listening to his Schubert Impromptus. Sublime.

Now if we can get them to quit building in wildfire zones, they might be able to get insurance.

@jon-nyc said in 18 People Looking for a New Job: My best guess is they end up, after a lot of drama, with more or less the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta. Take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors. The bulk of these devastating cuts to SNAP and Medicaid could be avoided if they limited the 2017 tax cut extension to those making under $400k. Tax cuts for the wealthy are why we’re here.
