hat makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. And it's happening now. Go. Yeah, that was a good one. Looks like everything's operating just the way it should today.

you go. You're private now.

All right, what's going on? Question number one. I saw a user on Twitter, Terry Schilling, asked this question to his users: Should men still open doors for women? Interesting question. Should men still open doors?

If you see a woman coming or somebody you identify as a woman but you don't know, hold that door closed and don't let that person even get through. That's the only way to play it. You gotta let them fight with it a little bit and then you'll all be like equal. No, not even equal. Equitable. That would be equitable.

But Corey DeAngelis continues to report that various state legislatures are improving funding for that follows the kid instead of the school so that parents could say let's take our kid to another school and then some money would go with them to help pay for that alternate school. So free market. It's apparently Florida. Florida leg…
