If you were not alive in the 90's, you don't realize that no one back then drank water. The idea of hydration didn't exist yet, if you were thirsty there was soda or some kind of very bright blue sugar water and that was it

The Michael Penix Jr. Era Has Arrived in Atlanta
The Falcons’ quarterback plan was unconventional and controversial. But if Penix pans out as Atlanta’s starter, could he change the way the league looks at older quarterback prospects?

Today's NYT article on school vouchers omits a key fact: when brought to scale, vouchers are terrible for student outcomes. www.brookings.edu/articles/res... Push polls by EdChoice and other right-wing groups that purport to show vouchers' popularity never mention this-and neither does the Times.
