@magiamma @magiamma thanks for asking. It's pretty cool, I did a written report on it a long time ago, elementary school lint trap. We own it, it works well, why not use it all over: tva.gov

The Tennessee Valley Authority is a corporate agency of the United States that provides electricity for business customers and local power companies serving 10 million people in parts of seven southeastern states. TVA receives no taxpayer funding, deriving virtually all of its revenues from sales of electricity. In addition to operating and investing its revenues in its electric system, TVA provides flood control, navigation and land management for the Tennessee River system and assists local power companies and state and local governments with economic development and job creation.

For years I had this little cardboard signage that said "We're San Geronimo Valley We Do Our Part", from the National Recovery Act times. I grew up on a hill in that valley. Edit: fixed a word, self-censored the rest.
https://www.britannica.com/topic/National-Recovery-Administration

National Recovery Administration (NRA), U.S. government agency established by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to stimulate business recovery through fair-practice codes during the Great Depression. The NRA was an essential element in the National Industrial Recovery Act (June 1933), which authorized the president to institute industry-wide codes intended to eliminate unfair trade practices, reduce unemployment, establish minimum wages and maximum hours, and guarantee the right of labour to bargain collectively.

have a tree hanging off your hand, not to mention inconvenient.

In a culture where "reality tv" is mistaken for real life are you truly surprised that someone has to resort to teaching through fifth grade tactics?

Hope needs to be backed up by action. Citizens...you, me, the person over there...need to let elected officials know how we feel about this, not just expect one person to carry the torch. AOC put it out there; the people are the only ones who can make changes happen.

Do you remember 2015? The season began with five candidates. It took one debate to lose two of the Dem candidates and the third dropped after the second debate. The Reps dragged on and on with their 17 candidates which only dwindled slowly. Many of the Dem candidates now will drop pretty quickly, I think. Hopefully enough so there can be decent debates about policies rather than a pageant.

I don't watch TYT any more so have not seen the video that you mentioned. I think when AOC uses the TVA, it is an example of how the government can work for the people.

@WindDancer13 thanks, because you said you heard "civics is not being taught in schools any more", I wondered what happened since I had to pass at least one Government class to get the certificate, that was where I learned Checks and Balances and all that technical blah blah blah. The Constitution, blah blah blah etc.. The Bill of Rights, these are things all citizens should have the working knowledge. Eh?

"sonoma county required classes high school graduation" was what I searched for, and a wall of charter schools, and online schools, and every kind of school except a public school was on the first page. But then I spotted Elsie Allen from Sebastopol. Sh don't say there's a sister city in Russia or I'll think Putin did it. lol Srsly, Elsie Allen is a famous Pomo basket weaver, she is in all our history books.

Elsie Allen is now owned by a charter school corporation: http://www.21stcenturyschools.com/

The Cemetery Method is another article over there:

In his book, To Sell is Human, Daniel Pink defines the 21st century workforce. He provides some interesting statistics:

• The U.S Census Bureau estimates that the American economy has more than 21 million "non-employer" businesses, and they constitute the majority of businesses in the United States.
• 30 percent of American workers now work on their own, and by 2015 the number of nontraditional workers worldwide will reach 1.3 billion.
• Entrepreneurs will become a majority of the American workforce by 2020.

I heard that civics is not being taught in schools any more. It was required for graduation when I grew up.

Wouldn't it be nice if this video beat the number of shares that the brown egg got?

All heroes have feet of clay (found somewhere in the bible). That does not mean that whatever good they have done should be dismissed or that they cannot continue to do good. What it means is that they are human.

Some interviewer will ask her questions about Russia soon. It is bound to happen becasue the media has seen that progressives and Democrats come unglued when politicians, especially ones they have respected, respond to the questions. The media knows how to drive a wedge.

@WindDancer13
has been cut from public education. We, the people, might learn how to overthrow our gummit or sumthin'.
