@mik said in Chicago Teachers: The article below that about the circuit court clerk is interesting as well. A window on how not to transition. It's Crook County, man!

My personal impression is: beware... For more than 25 years China has silently been expanding its economical and military power at the expense of the US. Europe should be watching very carefully what it will get from or loose to China. It's better to have a deal than no deal (cfr. Brexit), but the outcome is still an enigma to me. And it wasn't a big topic in the news. Covid and Brexit seemed more important.

I didn’t realize we were rolling out shitty vaccines in addition to the Pfizer and modern vaccines.

@aqua-letifer said in 10 things you probably don't know but should: @89th said in 10 things you probably don't know but should: #4 is concerning How so? Just the growing reliance by the poor on the government. Who knows, maybe it’s always been this way. To be clear, I’m not saying there shouldn’t be a safety net of some sort, or that there shouldn't be essential services for our fellow citizens who are the most vulnerable... It just would be nice to shift away from “the government will send me a check or pay my bills” mentality among far too many who truly can otherwise help it.

@george-k IIRC, once it's scanned into EPIC, it's searchable. I think.

@axtremus said in 1-60: Loser! False! He won 1 of them which means Biden’s really really big landslide win is now just a really big landslide win.

@axtremus said in Trump, The Illuminator: Trump has illuminated that the Republicans have no problem with budget deficits or executive overreach or double taxation, and “character” really does not matter to many who claim to be “Conservatives.” As dependable as the morning sun, you are.

@axtremus said in 2020 Bingo: @george-k said in 2020 Bingo: Fucking aqua get all fancy-schmancy with his coloring making us look like a bunch of amateurs. @Aqua-Letifer’s color scheme leaves much ambiguity. You cannot discerner whether it’s the black squares or the blue squares that indicate what he has done. The traditional Bingo circling has no such problem. Everyone saw the original before they saw mine, jackass, you're once again the only one confused.

@jon-nyc said in Hey Jon!: Nice you guys had that in common!

I think that's wise.

@mik said in The Zoom Lesson: I do think teachers and other school employees in the building should be 1A in vaccinations. Schooling is one of the most pressing issues. I think so, too. Teachers, the elderly, healthcare workers. I don't know how I'd break that down further but they'd be my 1A choices. Another problem is that idiots cite shit like this to bolster their "no remote learning under any circumstances" narrative. If you're in a district that's decided that the schools stay remote, well then, sorry, unless you're willing to really dig in with homeschooling, remote learning is better than nothing. Many parents are in a shit situation, but complaining about remote learning on Facebook is the least effective thing they could possibly do.

Mark, that was rad. Really excellent job.
