Hey @fairplayforkids I thought you might want to see how @McGrawHillK12 is teaching 5th graders the "Wonders" of screen addiction. Unbelievable propaganda.

@katierichard_ This is taken from my front stoop! We had a hell of an afternoon.

@_KennyUong_ Yeah thanks for the reminder, I’ll email them again.

@ericgurna Oh that’s why there was no bench there!!

@mikemcdermott76 Got it, thanks

@ericgurna Also, RI still reports more tests than most states. Only 6 have reported more tests per capita over the last 7 days, according to Johns Hopkins.

FWIW: The 6 states with the lowest COVID test positivity in the country over the last 7 days are the 6 New England states.

Again—Billionaire philanthropy is PR. Stop falling for it. Yes, $50M is a lot of money, but had Musk simply paid his taxes at the actual 37% rate, he would’ve paid $5.18B in taxes—which is 104X his donation. Taxation of Billionaires > Philanthropy from Billionaires
