This has been an interesting discussion. My high school experience was split- half in private school and half in public. There were a lot of differences, but for me, this statement is totally true.
The whole business of extra-curricular activities being available only to the rich is absolute bullshit.
The public school had more, not less extra-curricular activities on offer.
Thanks! As I nearly never wach TV- please let me know if you see it upcoming.
The stories from that time are so interesting. And there are so many you never hear.............
I love raspberry preserves. I'll get some on the next Costco run.
Here's your feel good story for the day and a new jam for you to buy if you have a Costco nearby.

Costco carries this jam and I felt that this story needed to be shared.
The incident took place in a supermarket in New Jersey. The tweet is by Michael Perino @ProfessorPerino
“At the supermarket today, I found a small, elderly woman standing in front of a high shelf holding @BonneMamanUS preserves. She was having trouble finding the flavor she wanted because the jars were set back on the shelf.
She couldn’t read the labels. She could barely reach them. I offered to help.
After I handed her the raspberry preserves, she thanked me, paused, and then asked, “Do you know why I buy this brand?”
I laughed and replied, “Because it tastes good?”
“Yes, it tastes good.” She paused again. “I am a Holocaust survivor.”
This was not the conversation I expected on a Sunday grocery run. “During the war, the family that owns the company hid my family in Paris. So now I always buy it. And whenever I go to the store, my grandkids remind me, ‘Bubbe, don’t forget to buy the jelly.’”
I told her that that was the best reason I ever heard to buy any company’s product. And then we both smiled behind our masks and went our separate ways.”
*****************************
Someone else on Twitter looked into the story and indeed, the town that Andros Company, the makers of Bonne Maman, comes from, hid and saved Jewish families in WW2. It was called Biars sur Cere, which then had about 800 villagers.
From an article, “You have to understand what it was like then. There were posters on the walls, from the Nazis and from the collaborators, and they said that if you are found to help a Jew, a freemason, a communist, a socialist, or a pervert, you will be shot on sight.” Despite the great danger in which helping them put the villagers in, still they kept the children safe.”
A good reason to buy Bonne Maman products. And a poignant reminder that when we look out for each other it can change lives, and that there are good and selfless people in the world.
New headache for DuhSantis
BREAKING: Disney Sues DeSantis Board for Violating Constitution
The Walt Disney Company has just filed a countersuit against the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District for violation of the Florida Constitution. This 55-page filing denies the District Board’s claims and accuses the board of Breach of Contract, as well as violating the state constitution.
Disney asks the judge to declare Senate Bill 1604: Land Use and Development Regulations unconstitutional.
Disney is now countersuing CFTOD, seeking damages because the district refuses its "duty to perform" under "valid and binding" contracts. Disney requests the court rule against the district and "award other relief deemed proper."

So this is what has been causing part of the volatility. Having pwned a fair few stocks that were the object of class action suits- this is one of the flimsier one I have ever seen.

On August 16, 2023, Grizzly published a report alleging that Archer has been misrepresenting certain aspects of its business operations. Among other things, the Grizzly report alleges that Archer has been “recycling heavily edited videos of their earlier test flights to portray longer flight performance, more frequent testing, and a generally more advanced product than reality.” The Grizzly report also alleges that Archer has misrepresented the timeline to (i) begin operating its lab and manufacturing facility in San Jose, California, and (ii) secure FAA certification of its prototype aircraft.
After publication of the Grizzly report, Archer’s stock price fell 6.46% in trading on August 16, 2023, to close at $5.94 per share.

I can't imagine wanting to live in a building that tall.
I don't use any of my available margin, but that seems expensive. Do you know if it is?
Someone's buying them today too.
What a god-awful mess that is!
LOL- Go Fani
Fani Willis Seeking March 2024 Trial Date for Trump RICO Case
The Fulton County District Attorney's proposed order asks for a trial just one day before the Super Tuesday primaries
Yes- it was served. BUT it may have been an illegal search warrant in that the affidavit used to acquire it was inaccurate. As far as I know- the police refused to release the affidavit when requested. My guess is that by withdrawing it, they are hoping to avoid having to show it to the courts.
When a police officer wants to get a search warrant, they prepare a form called “Affidavit in Support of Search Warrant.”
The Affidavit must include all evidence police believe will convince a judge that there’s probable cause to believe evidence of a crime will be found in the place they want to search.
The officer must also swear under oath before the judge that the information in the Affidavit is true or accurate as far as the officer knows.
A violation of either of these basic requirements provides separate grounds for attacking a warrant.
Follow up sentence. Good!

Bernie Rhodes, the paper’s attorney tells me the forensics expert will access the items and make a forensic copy. He’ll then look to see if anything was accessed or altered.
They could be fuel for the next run.
Trading position back in place. Probably a little early, but numbers-wise it's ok. Should it drop more seriously, I will add to both core and trading positions. meanwhile, I'll just wait for the next run.
I'm good with that too.
Oh yeah- I'm good with that, although his cultists might get a little upset.....
I read it. I'd think it would be illegal to send anyone to that kind of training for any reason.
Can they use duct tape on his mouth to keep him from interrupting?
I think that makes it more likely that some of his cultists will watch the trial in GA.
Also- will Trump have to actuality attend his trials?
I wonder if any of them will watch the trial?
Probably.
Jesus?
An excellent orderly timetable of the events in GA.

Nice list. Let's keep on going .
The more support he gets- the more Donnie boy will have to get on the stage to debate him.
I hope so! It's hard to believe that Trump is still pushing this lie when he knows there was no fraud. Either he is literally mentally incapacitated or maybe it's some new delaying tactic? Makes no sense.
I wonder if those who put this "irrefutable report" together will also be indicted sometime?
Probably ought to be renamed Trumporrhea.
I'd never even heard of it!
Well- here's a new one.

I just heard a judge say that Trump has a condition called logorrhea.
Well....
Froggie went a-courtin', and he did ride, Uh-huh
If he could do it- mo reason The Toad couldn't find a way............
You're right! Not quite sure how the cross breeding would have gone on that but......
OK= that's my learning quota for the day.
Judge could ask to have a landline installed for legal purposes.
I read that earlier. Good for them! And plaster it all over everywhere.
Can't access that page. Says it doesn't exist.
