Planning to fly?

 https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/safety-review-team-calls-urgent-action-after-us-aviation-near-miss-incidents-2023-11-15/

Most GOP legislators favor reduced funding for Federal
agencies, but most of them fly home on weekends, so they
might be willing to compromise their ideals in favor of
their personal safety!

Maybe an across-the-board salary cut for Federal employees
- a favorite GOP idea that comes back every few years -
isn't such a good idea.

I got New Math in 1960.

 https://www.jstor.org/stable/41186557

When talented teachers and talented students tackled it,
they learned a lot.   Other teachers and other students
didn't necessarily get it.

And every generation has a new New Math -

 https://www.dailynews.com/2023/07/27/california-has-adopted-a-new-plan-to-teach-math-why-are-people-so-riled-up/

The fundamental issue is that some people, due to genetics
or environment, are more comfortable than others in
thinking in abstractions, just as some people are better at
sports than others.       Some will never be good enough
for the football team, and others for the math team.
So what is the minimum competence to seek in every subject
for every student, and what's the best way to get it?

Basic arithmetic skill - not even advanced math - should be
part of the skills of every voter, so they can evaluate the
budget claims of politicians if they want.    That's not
necessarily what politicians want!

Fitting models to statistical data is an essential part of
science - physical, biological, and social.       But is
the average high school student ready to understand it?

California Reparations Report

 https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/reparations-task-force-gives-recommendations-on-how-california-can-atone-for-slavery/ar-AA1dlHxJ

After the decision on affirmative action, it's hard to see
how race-based reparations will survive an equal protection
challenge.         Biden pivoted in response, suggesting
future student selection consider economic factors rather
than racial.    Likewise a guaranteed basic income for
all seems the most direct and politically palatable way
to move toward more equal opportunity for all.

SBC seems to be abandoning congregational polity in favor
of episcopal polity, all the better to defend patriarchal
feudal minority rule.

It's getting harder to distinguish reactionary Protestants
from reactionary Catholics; once you accept the devil's
rules in order to play the devil's game of power politics,
theological differences don't matter much any more.
