  • My city has a referendum to replace the middle school and add a wing to the elementary school. Oh and add fire suppression systems to both of them since they are so old they don’t have them.

    It’ll cost me $700/year for like 25 years.

    I’m voting yes. Let’s invest in our schools and education system. Let’s understand how incredibly useful the power of local taxes are.






  • These places have their goods and bads.

    Disney in the past weren’t nearly so exploitive and expensive. They truly did give an extremely fun and entertaining experience to the guests. They did much better at treating their employees. They have pushed technological boundaries on the entertainment front. They built parks that have genuinely made millions happy. They aren’t perfect as a corporation and I have a shitload of gripes with their management and leadership, but they put out a pretty damn good product.

    Nowadays, they do underpay and over charge. They are cashing in on nostalgia and not doing enough to foster that in the next generation. They’re no longer targeting family fun but are instead putting more towards the mid-20s to late 30s market. I haven’t felt it was worth the money in a long time.

    Sea world. While they have done terrible things especially in the Orcas, they also put on a very, very entertaining theme park. They do fund a lot of research and coastal animal refuges.
