100% agree. 💯
I am glad to hear that the issues I have faced with students in recent years aren’t (just) a result of me getting old and grumpy. It is now documented that this generation of students thinks they should get an A for effort. We need to fix this: www.nytimes.com/2024/12/26/o...

Post offices and libraries, right? :-)
Put solar and batteries on all the Post Offices. Have it serve as a community resilience hub during and after extreme events. Have it broadcast free neighborhood wifi. Every month release a new stamp with a cool animal on it.
The Post Office is a lifeline and essential service for rural and Tribal communities, and small businesses everywhere. It should be strengthened, invested in, modernized, and expanded to provide banking, resilience, and community services.

The debate about whether the IRA will be repealed or not misses how much IRA implementation has hinged on Treasury guidances that can be changed without a full repeal. That’s where changes are easier to make and could have big impacts on program eligibility.
