I like the idea of Secret Service enrichment activities being exactly like dog enrichment. They just release a bunch of Government mooks into a room with some of those doggie treats puzzles, but I stead of beggin strips, it’s full of domestic terrorists addresses.

It was right in the first paragraph of the article.

“…deploying corps members to work in wind and solar production as well as environmental conservation projects.”

So yes, it (should be) more than just trail work.

This is incredible news! While 20,000 is fewer jobs than I would have liked, it’s still 20,000 more people that are fighting to save our planet than we had before. Plus all those jobs will provide income to all those people and families, and they’ll be able to recirculate those funds to their local economies. I bet this program will generate more income than it’s cost over the long run, and that’s not even counting all the monetary savings that a more stable (or at least slower changing) climate will bring.

Then why say anything?

A new Indiana law that requires parents to be notified of students’ name changes, including nicknames, has caused confusion and annoyance among some parents, while others are angry about the risk it places on transgender students.

(Emphasis mine)

Pretty sure that’s the point…

There’s a reason it’s called “the northern most southern state”.

That may be true, but what the article was really trying to point out was how increases in these college areas (and therefore college aged voters) is starting to make a big difference. The example they gave was that, at least in the most recent election, the area around Madison used to cancel out the red suburbs around Milwaukee, but now Madison is so strongly liberal that they out weigh those suburbs and therefore tip the scales in favor of Dems. If this trend continues, and if the Dems can replicate it in other swing states (big “if”), then it could change the way politics are played in America.

Well she is the prime demographic for phone scams… so yeah, probably.

Can’t the government see that if they allow people to get life saving drugs for slightly less money, then the pharmaceutical CEOs will only be able to buy a 53-foot yacht before the next regatta? They’ll be laughing stocks! (/s just in case)

But seriously, fuck all corporate greed, but especially fuck corporations that keep people sick.
