I’m 49 (yeah gently caress off) and have a son the age of the students in Florida who died. I’m not American but I hope that kids around the world see this activism as a signal that they both matter, and have power. My son and I discussed this purposefully because it’s obvious the adults can’t be trusted to steer the bus anymore.

To continue this a little, I don't think the X-ers and the Xennials really had a chance to get out from under the Boomer's shadow. We're a bit of a lost generation because of it. But we can lend our weight to the Millennials coming of age now. They've got our support when it comes to social change in a way that we didn't have the support of our parents. That support gives them a solid rock to make their stand on.

The sixties are looking more and more relevant to me every day.

We could, but we probably can just shout nothing matters into their face a bunch and tell them that republicans always win no matter what and that caring about stuff is lame

I had to take my grandfather for cognitive tests back in 2009. Even in Canada they ask you who the US president is. He responded, lightning quick, "the black guy." The nurse just rolled her eyes and went "close enough," and marked it a pass.

Alabama Sheriff Legally Took $750,000 Meant To Feed Inmates, Bought Beach House

quote:

A sheriff in Alabama took home as personal profit more than $750,000 that was budgeted to feed jail inmates — and then purchased a $740,000 beach house, a reporter at The Birmingham News found.

And it's perfectly legal in Alabama, according to state law and local officials.

"Everyone's entitled to their point of view, but that's seriously a weird one."

quote:

Before he made headlines for profiting off the law, Entrekin was better known for being indebted by it.

When Entrekin's predecessor died while still in office, all the money in the food provision account went to his estate — as state law dictated, a county official told NPR. Entrekin had to borrow $150,000 to keep the inmates fed. He was paying down that debt for years, The Gadsden Times reported.

In 2009, while he was still in debt from paying for inmates' food, Entrekin told the Times that he personally thought the law needed to be changed. But he noted that it might cost more money for taxpayers if the county commission had to manage jail kitchens through an open bid process.

David Akins, the chief administrative officer of the Etowah County Commission, agrees with that assessment. He says the commission is not eager to take on that duty, as some other local governments have done.

"The sheriff can feed inmates cheaper than the county can," he said.

The law is a holdover from the great depression, which should basically tell you what you need to know about why it is hosed up. Not that it excuses it still being the law in *checks calendar* loving 2018? Are you kidding me?!

My brother was in that situation recently and it's scary as gently caress.

It occurs to me that if my father or any of his brothers were concussed enough to not remember who's in the oval office, the exchange would go something like this:

"Wait, who's the president?"
"Donald Trump."
"Get out!"
"I mean, you voted for him."
"What? Why the hell would I -"
"The fetuses."
"Oh. Right."

Aw man. I definitely would've made some "fake news" to keep my mom happy in her final days though I can't imagine her needing such a scenario. Then again, she wasn't too happy about Trump being elected near the end so...
