Lol, that was quick. Effectively, “Thanks for your supporters but we’ll be fine without you”.

      Kentucky voted to keep public taxpayer dollars from going to private schools.

      It’s not much, but it’s a small win for us.

        I wish Texas could’ve done the same, but Governor Hot Wheels is bound a determined to take us all back to the 20’s.

        Not sure about Kentucky, but I know some wingers were concerned about a bill in Colorado and school funds meaning that the government would be peeking into how you did home schooling…so while they were not necessarily opposed to getting the government cheese for themselves, they were paranoid about “too much government” in their lives because they were getting money…

        Yup, Missouri voted to allow abortion again. It isn’t much either, another small win. That was completely negated when they overwhelmingly voted for the man that will ban it nationally.

          Since we are going back to the 1800s I was going to start my business of radium water “medical tonics”, mercury medicine and x-ray show sizing machines

      It’s definitely a big relief. Here I was expecting the US to throw out a century of medical advancements and halt all vaccine research, which is not only very bad for the US, but leaves a lot of other countries in the lurch (fortunately at least for Australia, our first mRNA vaccine manufacturing plant should be online next year).
