The 2.2 million people of Wyoming, South Dakota and North Dakota get their own 6 Senators.
The 4 million people of Los Angeles have to share 2 Senators with another 35 million Californians.
This is the “democracy crisis.”

Jack Dorsey: “In principle, I don’t believe anyone should own or run Twitter. It wants to be a public good at a protocol level, not a company. Solving for the problem of it being a company, however, Elon is the singular solution I trust ...” ow.ly/N61p50IS0bC

I love Twitter. Twitter is the closest thing we have to a global consciousness.

I loved "Billions"with Damian Lewis as the lead. Without him, the show is simply unwatchable.

@UniqueVisitor @edkohler I'm at walmart now. I haven't seen a customer with a mask yet & certainly no enforcement. Where's Ed's 2-star review for them? Also, how does he have the All Mighty power to know people are unvaccinated? Sounds like he was profiling. Those were 2 of my issues with Ed's review.
English
@BonOButtercup @edkohler Bonnie, I'm certain it's been challenging. The two issues I had with your response to Ed: 1) You said you can't require masks, that is incorrect. 2) Ed voiced his opinion given the rampant spread of Omicron, including among children. That's not bullying.
Best of luck.

@UniqueVisitor @edkohler Respect would be speaking to the owner before blasting them in a 2-star review while not doing the same to the zillions of other places visited. Clearly, this is just bullying of a small female-owned bus that is doing good for the mental health of youth during a pandemic.
English
@BonOButtercup @edkohler Private businesses are not prevented in any way from requiring customers to wear masks in their businesses. Period. It's happening in many places in the metro area right now. Maybe less anger from you and more respect for customers who are concerned about their children's health?
English
@edkohler More bullying coming from someone who is self-employed. Without a mandate, businesses can't enforce masks. We did when everyone was required to do so. But if you want to show up at 7am tomorrow & enforce the masks until 9:30pm, I'll gladly support your efforts & buy you lunch.

Folks in Australia celebrating Christmas in the sunshine and on the beach don't realize how much more convenient Christmas is in the Northeast and Midwest of the US, where we never need to worry about fridge space, because we can just put stuff on the back patio to stay frozen.

You cannot get educated by this self-propagating system in which people study to pass exams, and teach others to pass exams, but nobody knows anything.
You learn something by doing it yourself, by asking questions, by thinking, and by experimenting. 🧠
