    Apple TV+ is become a haven for all the WOKE, Me too, etc...type shows!  It will interesting if Apple corporate will release viewership numbers or will it be like CBS Access and just stay all their shows are # one!  Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek: Picard have the same storyline believe it or not; it a dig on President Trump and on traditional Star Trek’s fan base! Neither of them are welcome in the new CBS Access Star Trek universe.
    Huh?! How does a yet unnamed comedic show about a magical town where everything is out of a 1940's musical some "WOKE, Me too, etc… type shows!" agenda? Is it because it'll star a woman? Does it really bother you that women get cast in leading roles?
    Probably wondering how she made it so far from the kitchen.

    Just sad they're that scared.

    Well, if they gave the items to the students and not the district then that could be a problem. My wife taught in a socio-economically depressed area. Her principal often provided new winter coats for students in need. A few days later the child showed up in their usual tattered rags. Turns out the parent sold the new coat for drugs, alcohol, or cigarettes. iPads might suffer the same fate. Reality sucks.
    It's crazy how much anti-poor rhetoric there is.  If someone is begging for change on the street, people will go out of their way to find the one or two cases where someone was faking it and actually wasn't homeless in order to justify not wanting to help at all.  Same situation here where the few cases of abuse become the justification for not helping at all.

    Personally, I'd rather risk a few cases of abuse on the end of the spectrum where people are barely getting by, than risk abuse on the other end of the spectrum where companies lobby governments for tax concessions in the name of job creation/expansion, but often the extra money simply ends up in the pockets of upper management and shareholders who already have more than enough.  The reality of trickle down economics sucks.
    It's sad that people have been convinced that the poor (as well as immigrants) are the problem with America. The same people hate the idea of government assistance because some may abuse it, but could give two shits about corporate bailouts, tax cuts that benefit the obscenely wealthy, corporate profits that don't make their way to the workers, etc.

    Just sad really.
