Coincidentally my wife did a paraphrased version of the pig farm speech to my kids last night to their horror/glee (all 3 under 11 years of age).
They kept asking her - "How do you know this?!?... Why do you know this!?!"

Oh haha, I made that classic mistake of correcting the author without realizing it was the author.
Sorry I assumed you were a commentator conflating two different categories of spending. My apologies.

Yeah funny thing about that timing:
The NFL Super Bowl halftime show selection is a collaborative process led by the league's entertainment team and Roc Nation, which has acted as the official consultant since 2019. Jay-Z holds significant influence in choosing performers, focusing on cultural relevance, genre diversity, and massive appeal to create a "cultural moment".
You keep using the word "Always" but only referencing about 5-10 years ago. Many of us old folk have a much longer memory than that.
The blog you're quoting isn't saying k-12 costs 11,800 per child/year, it's proposing dividing the k-12 budget amongst all parents of Children 0-17.
That's two completely different things as k-12 represents ages 5 through 18. It partially explains why the number is so off, I think the average cost in the US is somewhere around ~18k.

I don't know why everyone keeps saying "The suspect was disarmed so therefore the police had no reason to shoot him."
Removing one gun from someone violently resisting you doesn't mean they're any less likely to have a weapon on them, in fact it means they're more likely. They've already demonstrated the fact that they have access to firearms, your updated priors should be "he likely has a 2nd weapon/gun on him and continues to be dangerous until subdued."
There isn't some immutable rule of physics that people are only able to carry 1 gun at a time.

Are you having issues reading what was written?
"the police cannot shoot someone to stop them from fleeing." is an entirely different sentence than what faceh wrote which was "Police officers are not allowed to shoot people driving vehicles at them."
It's right there in the comment you were replying to.

Microcenter also has a rewards program and they ask your name and address at the register.
One would assume that he wouldn't give them at information if he was purchasing bomb components with cash... but maybe?

So the penalty for being late, is the same as the penalty for rebellion you say?
