wouldn't notice unless you're following certain Twitter accounts. 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…

Let a few smart states try something. They probably won't execute the same way. See if anybody can nail it. If anybody nails it maybe we know in five to seven years and then we can start copying it. It's pretty good. That's a pretty good sign.
Actor Alec Baldwin is going to be prosecuted for two counts. We've talked about this way too much but here's the first thing. I'll bet we're going to find out a whole bunch of surprises. I think the trial will kick up some things that just seem like surprises. And apparently at one point early in the process Baldwin had said in an interview that he did not pull the trigger but the forensic people said yes the trigger was pulled.

double check that gun? Like nobody's going to learn anything if he goes to jail. There's no learning that will happen. So and his ideology is going to be like reformed so if he makes another movie he won't make that same mistake again. There's just nothing. There's just no benefit. Now if you say that the family of the deceased should sue him and get a bunch of money I think that already happened…
