There's an enormous disconnect between what parents think public schools do and what the system actually supports. People believe schools exist to educate kids. They don't. They do this by employing people who will vote as a bloc to ensure their continued employment and, thus, the system's growth. read more
alifornia settled on a design that no other state had implemented: a regionalized approach that divided the massive state into four sectors. Between 2019 and 2025, California paid four technology companies over $450 million to build out its Next Generation 911 system, a more advanced emergency communication tool that would provide dispatchers with enhanced location services and other ways for the public to communicate with first responders operators. But when the time came to turn that system on, it didn't work. read more

Which is why Trump wanted to get rid of the Obama era rules.
Since 2011, fuel-economy targets scale with a vehicle's "footprint" (wheelbase track width). Big vehicles get lenient targets; small vehicles face demanding ones. A microcar that gets 40 MPG might be judged against a target of 50-60 MPG, while a full-size truck doing 20 MPG can satisfy a 22 MPG requirement.. The small car is clearly more efficient, yet it fails the rule that the truck passes.

Over their lifetimes, these larger vehicles would generate between three and ten 1,000-megawatt coal-fired power plants' worth of excess carbon emissions. A 1,000-megawatt plant could provide power for more than half a million people.
