I did Teen Court when I was in high school since it counted for my community service requirements. I was only ever a juror but most cases were just some kid getting caught with weed or alcohol so we would hear the arguments or w/e from the attorneys but 99% of the time we just sentenced them to community service and a drug class, and then spent the rest of our "deliberation" time eating snacks and hanging out. I did it all 4 years I was in high school and they gave me like a thousand bucks scholarship for my first year at college which was cool.

Yeowch!!! My Balls!!! posted:Teen Jury sounds like an extremely lovely gag TV show from the late 80s Cousin of mine grew up in Sarasota and did that teen jury thing, her mom was telling me about it and I couldn't believe it was real. It's actually pretty lenient because most of the time teens are like oh just shoplifting or petty vandalism? Who the hell cares that's normal and no one we know gets punished for it

Having read the NJR SAT thing I actually don't have as visceral a hatred reaction as I did to Pete Buttigieg he doesn't strike me as the sociopathic social-climber everything-is-for-the-college-resume kind of nerd, he just seems like the kind of nerd who is Mommy and Daddy's Special Boy and wants everyone else to like him as much as Mommy and Daddy do, but has no idea how to get there because they were simply too supportive to ever teach him social skills

the revelation that Current Affairs is funded by his parents just solidifies my opinion, that newspaper is a mark of how much mommy and daddy love him and the mean ol' journalists actually writing all the content wanted to take it for themselves and he really wants people to like him but mommy and daddy GAVE him that newspaper and and and

Fundamentally, the idea of a fully democratized workplace is at odds with his perception that his newspaper was a gift from his mommy and daddy because he is their special boy, which is why when the rubber hit the road he fired everyone for trying to do the thing he's always talking about the labor theory of value states that a newspaper is nothing but the sum of the articles the journalists write, but, the birthday card he got from his parents states that it is his birthright for being such a bright and sweet and wonderful boy, and the contradiction broke his brain so he just loving destroyed the whole thing

I refuse to read up hard on this Current Affairs thing because I only care so much, but if you want editorial control (which, being a control freak, I empathize) and your staff want to unionize/co-op/whatever... why don't you just leave instead of fire everyone? Or agree to the co-op but also start your own personal thing somewhere else. It feels like there's a lot of ways for NJR to have his cake and eat it too and he just didn't.

Imagine if, like, members of Radiohead came up to Thom Yorke and said, "We want to write more songs," and instead of being like, "Okay, that's cool, but I'm also gonna do more solo stuff to balance it out," he just dissolved Radiohead. And hired new bandmates. Seems real unnecessary.
