🚨 How did an 80-20 Trump county in rural Kentucky also turn out to be the most anti-school voucher county in the state?

Periodic reminder that not all activism takes place online in casual and exposed places where you can observe and judge it. Before you decide someone isn't loud enough about a Thing, consider whether they've gone to ground to get the work done. Consider doing the same.

And we need to stop them selling a proposed solution (Recycle!) that is orders of magnitude too small to fix a problem they created (forever production)
