Voucher programs are meant to destroy public schools, that's their goal. They don't improve education, or access, or save money. The right wing, and religious fanatics, don't want a common education based in reality.

    So if we do an embargo on Israel, who is the CIA going to sell cocaine to in order to finance selling them weapons?

    For bonus points, ask this of your favorite AI and see who owns them.

    WASHINGTON, Feb 3 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday ordering the creation of a sovereign wealth fund within the next year, saying it could potentially buy the short video app TikTok. Trump offered little in the way of detail and it was unclear how such a wealth fund would work. Typically such funds rely on a country's budget surplus to make investments, but the U.S. operates at a deficit. Its creation also would likely require approval from Congress.

    Circular saw advice (lemmy.world)
     

    About to be in the market for a new circular saw, just looking for the typical 7.25 blade saw. One thing that has constantly bothered me though is the depth adjustment. Every saw I've ever had used a flip lever on a nut in the back, and that's always been the point of failure. They slip, break, seize or otherwise fail first before anything else on the saw. And it's literally the only setting on a saw that i ever touch beyond changing blades.

    So what brand has a reliable depth adjustment?

     

    Saw a post mentioning an old Scottish gentleman that had saved a bottle of whiskey to drink the day Margaret Thatcher died. And I'm quite sure he enjoyed the drink.

    So my question to the community, what's the best drink for the day any major politician finally kicks the bucket? Should it be your own favorite spirit, or something to denote the character, and vitriol, of the deceased? Something sweet to enjoy the day, or harsh to remember the bitterness of their character?

    I'm trying to plan a shelf for my dining room. Each bottle labeled for who they're waiting for.
