I grew four and then they took away my child benefit. They need to make their mind up.

You nailed it there. I don't want to be left on the world with people like that so I plan to run towards the asteroid.

I think quite a lot of people with opinions like that don't get out enough.

Weā€™re particularly interested in hearing the views and experiences of children & young people around curriculum and assessment. If you have a school council or pupil leadership team, coordinating a response to the call for evidence could be a really meaningful activity. www.gov.uk/government/n...

For the record, Project 2025, the blueprint for the incoming Trump administration, would privatize the National Weather Service, disband oceanic research (too climate "alarmist") and dismantle NOAA, which is the primary source of hurricane info. static.project2025.org/2025_Mandate...

The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) should be dismantled and many of its functions eliminated, sent to other agencies, privatized, or placed under the control of states and territories.

NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION
Break Up NOAA. The single biggest Department of Commerce agency outside of decennial census years is the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which houses the National Weather Service, National Marine Fisheries Service, and other components. NOAA garners $6.5 billion of the department's $12 billion annual operational budget and accounts for more than half of the department's personnel in non-decadal Census years (2021 figures).
NOAA consists of six main offices:
ā€¢ The National Weather Service (NWS);
- 674 -
Department of Commerce
ā€¢ The National Ocean Service (NOS); |
ā€¢ The Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR); |
ā€¢ The National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information Service (NESDIS);
ā€¢ The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS); and
ā€¢ The Office of Marine and Aviation Operations and NOAA Corps.
Together, these form a colossal operation that has become one of the main drivers of the climate ch
The NWS provides data the private companies use and should focus on its data-gathering services. Because private companies rely on these data, the NWS should fully commercialize its forecasting operations.

The indirect benefits of free lunches

Screenshot of a tweet taken from yet another social network but summarize that it is a note to summarize a quote of a quote here a paper from the National Bureau of economic research showing a result that free lunch programs reduce the amount that parents spend at grocery stores which makes grocery stores cut their prices because demand is down and so everyone in the area gets lower grocery prices
