I respect you Christine,and your work. But it’s hollow to point at “awful human rights abuses” in a Twitter post while the abuses are clearly not significant enough for you and your network not to profit while ignoring them.
As you watch the Beijing Olympic opening ceremony, know it is little more than a grand illusion to try to distract us from China’s awful human rights abuses. We journalists should mention this issue every day. I’ll do my best to do that.
Want to be treated poorly? Be a golf guest @PinehurstResort not staying on property. Live within 90 mins so we drive over to play occasionally, paying full rates. For the first time, I need to cancel a tee time (#5, days in advance) but they “can’t”?
"I don't think I can emphasize it enough, as the director for the Centers for Disease Control, the leading public health agency in the world: it is in the public health interest that these K-12 students get the schools back open for face-to-face learning."
So, if I’m a parent in Pasadena, I can’t send my child to school (that’s deemed unsafe, for students and teachers) but I can PAY for B.O.E. daycare, where my child will be in a room with 11 other children, attend virtual classes and have help with homework? Make it make sense.
From the South Pasadena (CA) Unified School District: schools will be online-only. However, students UP TO 8th GRADE can go to “extended day care” eight hours daily - and attend their online classes while staying together in rooms holding up to 12 students!
Shining example, IMO, of why capitalism, free markets and competition are the best way to drive transformational innovation (with efficiency) even in huge endeavors which have traditionally been viewed as requiring government.
The first astronauts launched into space by a private company are scheduled to return this week.
Aerospace engineer @robert_zubrin explains @elonmusk's @SpaceX did what government couldn’t:
“When you watch your contemporaries indulging the urge for material gain, comfort, and personal advancement, your choice will seem hard...Never forget, however, that the battle for freedom takes many forms.” – John F. Kennedy
The 120th Army-Navy Game honors that choice.
Rewatched the Fiesta Bowl and my main takeaway now is this: There were 10 key things that happened, and if one of those 10 things went Ohio State’s way, it probably would have won the football game. Ohio State got zero breaks.
@KellyJBusch They weren’t on his list! I checked and that’s what bugged me. I’m sad for you Kelly because your amazing but...not too disappointed for the Bucs. (IMO it was a catch and a fumble by the way.)
