As lots of people are liking a post I wrote that has the word "advice" in it, I need to issue my periodic reminder that my advice may in fact be terrible. I know very little, in general.

If you are a staffer you have a moral obligation to brief your boss on this meme before they make you write a bill like this
JUST IN: First-time homebuyers could get as much as $50,000 for a down payment on a house, under a draft bill to be introduced by Senator Jeff Merkley and cosponsored by Senator Ron Wyden, per Axios

1/ CPS enrollment continues to decline, while spending rises - obviously this is not sustainable and there's a reason why CPS carried a junk credit rating...

First: Enrollment history
CPS enrollment has been on the decline for more than two decades. This year's drop of 11,500 students, one of the largest one-year drops in more than a decade, amid the federal immigrant deportation campaign. chicago.suntimes.com/educati…

One element of the story of billionaires buying political influence always bothered me: The Kochs didn't always win. Neither did Soros.

Philly, Denver, Detroit, Seattle, Minneapolis…
Every overbuilt school district in the nation understands that if you have facilities for X number of students while there are only 0.75X enrolled (and likely 0.50X in 10 years) then you need to close empty schools.

Goodness please let this be the extent of the injury
#Bills WR DJ Moore, who was off to a fast start in Buffalo, is believed to have suffered an AC joint sprain, sources say. While it’s not a serious injury, @AdamSchefter reports his status is up in the air for next week.
