Aww. I was hoping it was payday and a wonderful day... Until he realizes he's paying the bear patrol tax.

"Let the bears pay the bear tax! I pay the Homer tax!"

"That's the homeowners tax "

2/15/2025 - Keeping Education Accessible and Ending Covid-19 Vaccine Mandates in Schools in c/keeptrack@lemmy.world

I work in a K12 school and no school in our state mandates COVID vaccines. While we keep track of any/all vaccinations and report them to the state health department per state law, a parent can also submit exemption paperwork for individual vaccinations to not get them or not report them.

Whatever brainworm guy says at the federal level doesn't mean shit because it's state law. However what it does accomplish is getting dumb fucks riled up with misinformation and propaganda so they frequently call or email schools to harass and threaten school employees. This happens frequently in my school and neighboring schools. It serves as a useful distraction while various government funding streams and programs are cut.

For anyone else in the US ... Look at Mr. Moneybags here with 2 (2!) eggs for breakfast. Sheesh. Some people just gotta flaunt their wealth.

Computers unleashed economic growth. Will artificial intelligence? in c/economy@lemmy.world

This should be corrected to something like: "We thought Facebook and Twitter would unleash economic growth and a new golden age for humanity. It didn't. Will it be the same for AI? Yes."

Too long for a headline but would be a good way to write an article pointing out that the main point will be to have AI write more shitty ads for Facebook and Twitter albeit while you wade through ads between prompts on chatgpt.

Because like all the others... It isn't really providing any value... Just low end schlock and garbage... So what are we going to do to make money for execs and shareholders? Oh I know!! Ads!! And subscriptions!!
