Laura apparently wants her supporters to end up like Charlie Kirk.

These arguments always remind me of this quote from The West Wing: "Education is the silver bullet. Education is everything. We don't need little changes. We need gigantic revolutionary changes. Competition for the best teachers should be fierce. They should be getting six-figure salaries. Schools should be incredibly expensive for government and absolutely free of charge for its citizens, just like national defense. That's my position."

I should just spend the next 3-years watching that on repeat instead of the news.

How do you think I made it thru the first term.

Try The Newsroom too if you haven’t yet seen it. Another Sorkin gem.

I remember Newsroom, and it was alright. Kind of mad they didn’t get to do a little more with it. Personally, I’ll probably watch Sports Night again, too.

I did that 2016-2020. Unfortunately, it hasn’t aged very well.
