You know there’s a search function, right? If you search for posts containing “daycare” that I’ve written, you will find one that says I’m surprised government hasn’t addressed the cost of daycare. That’s the closest thing to what you’re claiming that actually exists.

Nope. And you and I both know it. We also both know that I don't care enough to spend an hour combing through 2 year old posts, but both of us know that you have made the argument numerous times that society doesn't value women and children and your substantiation for that is that it doesn't provide government funded childcare.

You should look into what charter schools are

---

I did. This is what Google says:

quote:

---

Charter schools are tuition-free, independently operated public schools that have more flexibility in curriculum and staffing than traditional schools in exchange for increased accountability.

Authorized by state agencies, they operate under a performance-based contract (or "charter"). They are open to all students but often focus on specific educational models.

Flexibility & Accountability: They are exempt from many state and local regulations but must meet specific academic, financial, and operational targets.

Funding & Operations: They are publicly funded on a per-student basis but often run by non-profit organizations.

Admissions: While they cannot charge tuition or discriminate in admissions, they may hold lotteries if applications exceed capacity.

Controversy: Critics argue that they divert funding from traditional school districts and may have less transparency.

Prevalence: As of 2026, 46 states, D.C., Guam, and Puerto Rico allow them, including Alabama.

American Company Books Every US-Bound Flight To Evacuate Employee Amid Mexico Unrest

Violence broke out across parts of Mexico on Sunday following reports that notorious drug kingpin Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, widely known as El Mencho and head of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), had been killed. The unrest triggered widespread disruption, bringing road traffic to a standstill and forcing flight cancellations, with chaos reported at several of the country's busiest airports. Amid the turmoil, a US-based tech firm stepped in to help one of its employees leave the country safely. Cloud platform company Vercel arranged seats on every available flight headed to the United States from Guadalajara in a bid to ensure their staff member could get out.

The employee, Andrew Barba, later shared his appreciation for the extraordinary effort in a post on X.

Barba, who works as a software engineer at the company, said he and his wife were at Guadalajara's airport when the violence escalated. As tensions mounted, the couple took shelter inside a restroom while uncertainty loomed. Internet connectivity was unreliable, numerous flights had been called off, and it was unclear when they would be able to depart.

Meanwhile, Vercel's leadership team in the United States mobilised quickly. Determined to secure a safe exit, they purchased tickets on all US-bound flights from the airport, hoping at least one aircraft would manage to depart.

Their strategy ultimately succeeded. Barba and his wife were able to board one of the flights that took off and later arrived safely in Dallas, Texas. Having been with the San Francisco-based company for nearly three years, Barba publicly thanked his employer for going to such lengths to protect him during the crisis.

I wish the article said which airline the managed to get out on.

Just check FlightRadar. It looks like the airport is open again with dozens of flights coming in and out now. Your friend should be fine.

Also, no matter what anyone ever says, you can’t buy the experience, smell, sounds of all the places you got to visit although under less than fortunate situations.

Unfortunately those are the same sights, sounds, and smells that trigger PTSD in the Veterans I usually see.
