Testing? >> im a mother. i have three children that attend chicago public schools. a seventh grader, fifth grader and second-grader. their lives have been disrupted. my son doesnt have a science reading or math teacher because those teachers resigned because it was too much and a lack of support. our lives have been turned upside down and our mayor is tone deaf and doesnt connect well with the people who need her leap erleadership the most. im angry that once again were being placed in a situati...

These are american companies. isnt there a danger in doing this? >> nice to see you. i dont think so. i think the american public is smart enough to do basic arithmetic. these corporations have record-breaking profits. like very large margins. yet they cry poor spiking the prices. the country is made up of hard working people that want to be able to take the dollar that they earn and use it however they want. its surprising to me this is a political issue when this is just basic math when corpor...

Consistent in it. the secretary of education says vaccinations have historically always been local and state driven. that is the point. at some point down the road, states can make decisions. local governments can make decisions. it is never been at the federal government level. that also has increased the distrust, the reservation, it has hardened the resistance. we are in agreement on those shutdowns. agreement on the federal state partnership, the federal mandates on vaccinations is inconsist...
