What "school choice" means is that people with resources choose the best schools for their kids, and people without resources get whatever dross is left.

Where was this dumbass biatch when MLP got all the hype in the 2010s?! Or does that not count. Hate to see their parent freak out over Viewtiful Joe and getting Rainbow V Rankings. Get load of this you "concerned" biatch!
"This is why we need Christian schools in America, because the Church has absolutely zero history of predation towards children!"
Man, that's just doing this a real disservice.
Satanic Panics have been going back to at least Reconstruction. Calling this number 2 when it's more likely 102 is so unfair
(Sarcasm on the unfair bit, but not the rest)
You know, with Musk offering to buy Twitter for $40 billion dollars, I don't think billionaires are as cash poor as they pretend.
Should probably ramp up those asset taxes
Should probably ramp up those asset taxes
Musk's definition of "rich enough" is likely akin to an 8-year-old's "when I grow up" fantasy: "I'll be able to do whatever I want and nobody can tell me 'no'."
I have a certain sympathy with opinions that a social media site is effectively a "public square" and should have the same rights and rules of free speech. But in that case, who the hell thinks that major platforms are better off owned by lone billionaires? Sure! My public square is much safer in the hands of an erratic, self-absorbed dictator instead of a self-interested shareholder oligarchy!
If Musk really wants Twitter to run as a public square, he should buy it and then give it up. Either to a government with clear free speech protections as public space, or as an independent organisation under a strict charter clearly defining its values and overseen by an independent panel. Or, perhaps radically, as an independent entity with a constitution defining certain basic, inalienable rights of users, and leave the rest for its users to define democratically.
I agree. I think that Twitter as well as other social media sites have become so intergral to communication and even news, that the ideology of it being run by an individual or a company is bad. It should be government regulated at this point and the best thing Elon can do, is buy it, and give it a government agency so that it can be the free speech platform it should be.
Free Speech doesn't mean you can make calls to violence, but it does mean you can have a shitty opinion. People should be allowed to have shitty opinions no matter how much you might not like it. That's the bottom line.
Which government, though? It's a very international thing. Vague argument for giving it to the UN, there.
Maybe split it into regional divisions? That's a good question, but a government agency of supervision (even if it's just America's) is better than a single dude probably.
I don't think regional divisions would work, again it's international. But yeah, run by the US government is still better than run by one person.
Not to mention some governments don't think free speech is a thing. And that would cause a lot more conflict about who's countries rules to enforce or whatever.
The question is...would twitter be better if Elon bought it and just kept it. And Elon seems like a kind of chill guy so I think it still might be better in his hands, or at least a bit more "free" in his hands. Maybe not better depending on who you ask, but I would like it being less ideological tbh.
Well have to see how it all plays out.
I mean, he called a rescue diver a pedophile for not wanting to use underwater coffins to rescue kids
He's not chill, he just desperately wants to be perceived as chill. This will affect rule enforcement

Banned! Oh wait. I knew this already. WTF bro how you gonna point out the obvious to people?
Elon Musk is nothing more than a whiny brat who hates being criticized. I hate twitter, and don't even use it, but I sure as hell don't want him owning it all. If you thought Twitter was bad before, it's going to be so much worse with him running the show. If we're up to me I would sacrifice Twitter in an instant, with or without him.
Remember folks, if you're homeless, be like Hitler.
Elon Musk only does things to inflate his wealth and/or his ego. This Twitter thing is either a pump and dump scheme or a way to ensure he is free to say whatever he pleases. Probably both. Whether that freedom also extends to anyone else is what remains to be seen, considering how petty and averse to being told 'no' he is.
