Their new scheme to force "mass transit" on us-----Transit becomes Amazon bid focus | Crain's Detroit Business

Transit becomes Amazon bid focus | Crain's Detroit Business

• Good transit options are a requirement for Amazon HQ2.
• That's spurring local leaders to talk about going back to voters in 2018.
• RTA ballot issue failed last year when Macomb County voted strongly against it.

The race to position metro Detroit for Amazon's second headquarters has injected a new sense of urgency into addressing the region's disjointed public transportation systems as leaders contemplate going back to voters next year with a different regional transit proposal.

Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan and the leaders of Macomb, Oakland, Washtenaw and Macomb counties had already been in talks for months about how to revise the regional transit proposal that voters narrowly defeated last November.

And then online retail behemoth Amazon dropped its request for proposals that said access to mass transit options and connections to an international airport were critical components to its plans to plant up to 50,000 workers in a city outside of its hometown of Seattle..."

Teachers tackle white nationalism, other hot issues in the classroom | MLive.com
"YPSILANTI, MI - As the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August put white nationalism center stage in national discussion, teachers in Washtenaw County and across the country wondered how they would talk to their students about what happened.
Lynne Settles, an art teacher at Ypsilanti Community High School, knew she would offer her students the same thing she had before in similar situations: the chance to process their feelings through art.
...Now in the second week of the school year, Settles said she's still establishing relationships with her students, and they haven't yet delved into a class discussion about the attacks in Charlottesville and President Donald Trump's controversial response that there was "blame on both sides" - the white nationalists and the counter-protesters - for the violence..."

Washington Post's Dana Milbank Claims Donald Trump Is Killing Him
"Poor Dana Milbank. For all of his life he has been the picture of perfect health.
And then Donald Trump was elected President and completely ruined it to the point where he is now dying. Milbank discusses his health crises in his September 15 Washington Post column, President "Trump is killing me. 
Really.
President Trump is killing me.
No, really. 
He’s killing me.
I went for my annual physical last month, and, for the first time in my 49 years, I had to report that I’ve not been feeling well: fatigue, headaches, poor sleep, even some occasional chest pain.
My doctor checked my blood pressure, which had always been normal before: alarmingly high!
What could this mean?
I don’t smoke, I’m not obese and I swim most days.
...At this point, I arrived at a self-diagnosis: I was suffering from Trump Hypertensive Unexplained Disorder, or THUD.
For almost five decades, I had been the picture of health, but eight months into Trump’s presidency, I was suddenly ailing.
Trump is the only variable, I told my doctor.
“He sure is variable,” my doc replied, endorsing the diagnosis..."

Report: Standing Up to Pee Gives Boys an Unfair Advantage in Physics | Parenting

Report: Standing Up to Pee Gives Boys an Unfair Advantage in Physics | Parenting
"Yes, you read the headline correctly.
In the latest example of identity politics taken to its absurd end, three Australian college professors believe that "Playful urination practices – from seeing how high you can pee to games such as Peeball (where men compete using their urine to destroy a ball placed in a urinal) – may give boys an advantage over girls when it comes to physics."
The three professors didn't publish their thoughts on a satirical website like The Onion. 
Instead, they published on Tes, a website that provides "Educational materials, jobs, news, and courses from the world's best community of teachers and school leaders."
In the article, Anna Wilson, Kate Wilson, and David Low argue with a straight face that peeing standing up provides an advantage for boys over girls in learning physics..."

Why the Trump dynasty will last sixteen years | Edward Luttwak

Why the Trump dynasty will last sixteen years | Edward Luttwak
"Could a Trump dynasty in the White House survive for three more elections?

In Washington DC, post-electoral stress disorder has generated a hysteria still amply manifest after eight months...
For all its vacuity, however, the hysteria is certainly understandable, because President Trump has defied all expectations by actually trying to do what he promised that he would try to do. 
But another reason is that the major cause of last November’s electoral outcome has remained mostly unexplored, even un­discovered. 
That is not due to intellectual laziness, but rather reflects the refusal of almost all commentators to contend with the political economy that determined the outcome of the election. 
...As it was, of course, the victory of the Democratic establishment merely ensured the victory of the only Sanders counterpart on the Repub­lican side with whom Sanders differed sharply on almost everything – except for the only thing that really mattered to both: the urgent need to mobilize government policies to increase American jobs and wages, in firm opposition to all the competing international and planetary priorities continuously proffered by elite Americans and their core institutions, along with Pope Francis and other leading figures.
In the dramatic crescendo of the 2016 elections that gave Trump to the United States and the world, very possibly for sixteen years (the President’s re-election committee is already hard at work, while his daughter Ivanka Trump is duly apprenticed in the White House that, according to my sources, she means to occupy as America’s first female President)...
