I havent seen anything that indicates any monstrous proclivities beyond what's normal for military high command, i.e. callous disregard for enemy or even limited civilian life if it means saving "our boys", etc.

I could be missing some Mad Dog lore though

Dude, get Canadian citizenship. Healthcare in the US is going to get insanely expensive. As expensive as it was getting under Obamacare, that was nothing compared to what should have happened to healthcare costs.

Mattis is a career officer whose only flaws (that I'm aware of) are A. being a Marine, and B. being on the board of Theranos (which you can argue he didn't know it was a scam/thought he was doing the right thing/etc). He's probably one of the few people qualified to run the DoD while also not being batshit crazy.

Trump wants to explore the entire solar system by the end of the century while cutting out earth science research. That's a libertarian-as-hell thing that goofy people like Elon Musk want. They have this goddamn dumb idea that we can just go to Mars once Earth gets too polluted. I just wanna shake people like that and say "But you're the loving pollutant poo poo-for-brains."

DeVos, of Grand Rapids, Mich., chairs the American Federation for Children, a group that has aggressively pushed for the expansion of charter schools and voucher programs that enable students to attend private schools with taxpayer money.

The pick would be a sign that Trump plans to pursue his campaign pledge to push for sweeping school choice, including creating a $20 billion block grant to expand charter and private school options for low-income children -- almost as much as the country now spends on funding for schools serving poor kids and special education programs combined. The idea has long been championed by conservatives but has fizzled in Congress. DeVos' advocacy group helped craft his proposal.

I don't know if this good or bad. I don't know enough about the situation.

Charter schools range from 'slightly better for urban environments but probably due to the fact charter schools exclude mentally retarded children / pressure kids they don't like to drop out" to "loving terrible creationism-taught-as-fact trash that diverts public tax money to churches."


The only state I've found that has had a good experience with charter schools is Iowa. They put shitloads of regulations into them (must be controlled by local school board, 50% of teachers AND parents must decide to open charter school, no public money can be given to christian schools as per 1st amendment). There are currently 3 charter schools open across the whole of Iowa.
