Jeff Bezos is the next billionaire at the plate on July 20. Hope he doesn't strike out. He's going to be landing in a rocket. R I S K Y

yup, you hit it on the head.
what's more fun, fixing public education or.....building a $1.5 billion NFL stadium?
Ha! Any idea how much money is spend each year on public education at the local, state snd federal levels?
As the famous comedian Ron White likes to say —-.
But to what end?
You seem to have missed my quote on another thread.Carl Sagan was prescient back in 1995, when he wrote this:
“I have a foreboding of an America in my children’s or grandchildren’s time — when the United States is a service and information economy;
when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries;
when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues;
when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority;
when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness.
The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30-second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition,
but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance.”
