What parents, teachers and school choice groups think of Education Department cuts
https://www.npr.org/2025/03/12/nx-s1-5326109/trump-education-department-school-layoffs-parents-teachers-reaction?utm_source=flipboard&utm_medium=activitypub
Posted into U.S. News @u-s-news-npr
I would like to see some of this coverage discuss the scam that "school choice" really is. School choice is not about giving every parent a choice in where they send their kids it's about giving federal tax dollars to rich people to fund their exclusive private schools.
If you give a poor or rural parent a $5,000 school choice voucher their kid still ends up in public school because they either don't have choices or cannot cover the remaining tuition that the voucher doesn't cover. If you give $5K to a wealthy urban/suburban family they just got a tax break, our money went to some religious school, and the whole rich family gets a vacation to Florida with the money they saved.
I'd rather see my money invested in an universal public system that teaches all kids, welcomes all kids, and serves all kids.

Please stop hosting your events in Texas (yes, even Austin).

I'd not even seen the sled in the forest before, a visitor pointed it out. Slightly overgrown!
After using that (unsuccessfully) on the concrete beams, I used the rest of the twilight to pull these rollers out of the forest, too. Seemed like a good idea to do this before the meadow starts sprouting again.
They have holes for filling with water ballast. Heck knows where the plugs for them are though. Probably disintegrated.

“ It’s simply assumed, by most sides of the political spectrum, that the growth of ‘real’ GDP is what constitutes economic progress.
We think this is a mistake. When socialists and the Left use ‘real’ GDP as a measure of progress, or even as a quantity of empirical analysis, they are implicitly buying into the very capitalist paradigm that they otherwise reject. Let us explain.”
Evergreen and worth the read.

Why We Should Abandon Real GDP As A Measure of Economic Activity – Economics from the Top Down
For all that it purports to say, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) fails to explain anything relevant about the world.Blair Fix (Economics from the Top Down)
“ According to some of the dominant interpretations of neoclassical theory, the price of a commodity reveals the utility (i.e. pleasure) that a consumer derives from it. ”
So on the price goes up, a product’s utility goes up *by definition*.
But with inflation, all prices are going up, suggesting that everything is always becoming better. @pluralistic
