How Big Government Infrastructure Projects Go Wrong: https://www.cato.org/commentary/how-big-government-infrastructure-projects-go-wrong So I'm sure under a government run TVA-like entity operating in Texas that those gas pipes would have been insulated. <rolleyes>

Key point from the article: ERCOT's nuclear power generation? 10.9% according to this quick fact sheet: http://www.ercot.com/content/wcm/lists/144926/ERCOT_Quick_Facts_2518.pdf That is the difference, Dante. Not some New Deal government program.

Americans' Lust To 'Cancel' One Another Should Spark Soul Searching https://reason.com/2021/02/19/americans-lust-to-cancel-one-another-should-spark-soul-searching/

Then prices will go down, and individuals will look for different careers that pay what they want to earn. You must not have learned basic free market economics in government school. Sorry, I don't know what the "Star Rating system" is in this context.

And you can unequivocally prove that a 100% government owned and run system would be better? That it would have performed significantly better under the same exact set of circumstances that occurred in Texas?

https://reason.com/2021/02/19/indiana-senate-civil-forfeiture-unlawful-assembly-government-property-seizure/ No, the goal of the government here is fear and intimidation. This law needs to be overturned. I heartily urge all Hoosiers to contact their elected representatives in the Indiana legislature and argue that heinous legislation needs to be repealed.

Please answer the questions. They are very simple.

ERCOT failed. It happens.

More socialist claptrap. And those 'funding metrics' need to change. Meaning those who choose to teach those subjects which tend to translate to more in demand/higher paying jobs out in the "real world" should be better compensated. It's simple economics. And you are 100% sure this was the fault of that individual's government school history education?

Why do you hate grocery stores, Dante? Your "to hell with them" statement speaks volumes.

lol, now you are seeing the failures of government education, and the public sector teacher's unions. You desire that a government school P.E. or home economics teacher be paid the exact same amount as a highly educated math or science teacher, or vice versa. This 'race to the average' mentality is endemic in socialistic systems like government education. In a true market based educational system those math and science teachers would be paid a higher salary because their skills are more highly valued in the educational marketplace, with no public sector educational union present to ultimately drive salaries down to some mean or average.

So Dante, I guess you grow all your own food?

So you are calling the authors of the Chicago Tribune article liars? And the reason for this is?

Things just got real:

Grocery Store Owners Say That Pandemic Hazard Pay Laws Are Putting Them Out of Business https://reason.com/2021/02/19/grocery-store-owners-say-that-pandemic-hazard-pay-laws-are-putting-them-out-of-business/

School Board Mocks Parents Who Support Reopening: 'They Want Their Babysitters Back' https://reason.com/2021/02/18/oakley-union-schools-babysitters-reopening-video-meeting/ Kids need to return to school, and the consensus among experts who have studied the data from schools that have reopened is that this can be done safely, with minimal risk. Education officials should be working toward making it a reality as soon as possible, not lashing out at parents who have come rely on a service they pay for.

Biden's Coronavirus Relief Package Has Almost Nothing to Do With the Coronavirus: https://reason.com/2021/02/18/bidens-coronavirus-relief-package-has-almost-nothing-to-do-with-the-coronavirus/ It's just Biden trying to put lipstick on a pig, where coronavirus is the lipstick.

I purchased a Hot Dog "season pass" on the ISC Sports Network, supposedly it would broadcast all Hot Dog home football and basketball games. The football coverage was ok, the basketball has been hit or miss. Best game was when the Peru Tigers visited Case Arena and the play-by-play was done by one FHS student (probably in the school AV program). Let's just say his broadcast "had a lot of enthusiasm" and leave it at that...................

Wouldn't UBI for everyone accomplish the same thing?

Adding wokeness: Oregon promotes teacher program to subtract ‘racism in mathematics’ https://nypost.com/2021/02/12/adding-wokeness-oregon-promotes-teacher-program-to-subtract-racism-in-mathematics/ The complete and utter dumbing down of nation's children continues in government education. So I guess under "ethnomathematics" 2 + 2 can = 5, but only if it is a white person who first says that 2 + 2 always equals 4. Asisinine.

Cuomo gave immunity to nursing home executives after big campaign donations https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/may/26/andrew-cuomo-nursing-home-execs-immunity Combine this with Mr. Cuomo's directive of forcing nursing homes to accept covid-19 positive individuals and you have a win-win for this section of the nursing home industry. They couldn't be sued, and they made more money from the federal government from those covid-10 positive cases.
