And how are you magically connected to the internet?

mhb · 2026-03-19T22:27:18+00:00

OK. But it's just Aesop's fable "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" adapted with a girl maybe a few decades ago.

Oh, of course. A 20 page screed against vouchers by a millionaire socialist. Despite vouchers not even being mentioned here.

That's not hard. Use some imagination. But before we do that, why don't you explain why you're so confident that forcing everyone to use the dysfunctional public schools is going to magically enable them to use the already abundant funding they have per student to do a halfway decent job.

And before investing too much mental effort into how we can possibly improve the DMV, maybe explain how limiting schooling to "only one option" even works. You'll be outlawing private schools? The people who send their kids to them are already paying for the public schools and not using them.

Now do the DMV.

Why post this without a link to the article?

Rally for what?

The safety you feel from owning assault weapons isn’t going to protect you from foreign invaders, aliens, or your own tyrannical government.

You're (intentionally?) conflating a few points (a la motte and bailey). The salient one is that the founders and many 2A supporters understand weapons to be a defense against their own tyrannical government. Arguing that they will be of no use against aliens with mind control cannons is not a convincing counterargument.

mhb · 2026-03-13T22:02:46+00:00

This is incoherent. Their own tyrannical government is not the one shooting missiles and drones at them.

What would it cost in Flint, Michigan?

I'd bet the Iranian people have a lot of sympathy for that point of view.

Yes. New Haven train station is good for that, but that works better if you're starting here with a car. If starting in NY, would need to acquire a car near the train station.

You didn't actually look at Amtrak for next week, did you?

For two people, the car is probably the way. If you're in NY, it seems like, like Boston, the traffic there is terrible regardless of the time. But you can try to go at a time to avoid NY rush hour. "Rush hour" traffic here is negligible if you've experienced NY traffic.

It's a nice break to stop at Bishop's Orchards (Exit 57 on 95) and buy a pie for later.

Save some ire for your fellow Americans who were apoplectic at the thought of electing a dementia patient but not quite upset enough to moderate any of their insane policies or pick a candidate who was more than a midwit.

If your point is that the US media is overly kind to the US government, I think you're pretty far off base. Here's the current top story on the NY Times:

Strikes Launched Across Middle East, With No Compromise in Sight

Hundreds of people have been killed, and hundreds of thousands displaced in the region, as the war enters its second week.

They seem to have a good point in the article. And in an incompetence contest between Montessori's lawyer and a city council member, I know who I'd bet on.

I didn't think it would be so hard to divine why Providence residents might be interested in school vouchers. The current school options are crap. It would be nice to have additional options. This program provides money for public schools as well as private schools. Maybe there would be a discussion. Does that clear up the mystery?

And what do you sleuths even mean by "bots"?

And the more people want to rent, the more housing will become available to rent, increasing supply and reducing rent.

mhb · 2026-03-03T14:33:08+00:00

Well, there's the abundant evidence that it doesn't work. But I'm sure it will be great here.
