I didn't expect to write again so soon, and I will tell you right now that this would have been a different diary, possibly, if during my education or elsewhere, I'd learned better how to read budgets, projections, and the like.(Possibly, if "Reporting Public Affairs" had not met MWF at 7:00 AM, either as hazing ritual, or so students didn't miss the meetings, everything might be different now. But for me to be out the door at seven, someone else has to be too,and that was onerous so my adviser got me a waiver for it.) Sometimes, I think about that when there is a gap in my knowledge overall.Real life Google isn't like Movie! Google anyway, where I, sitting around my socks, scoop a major publication and find a conspiracy with two Midwestern governors with ties to some private company called"Warehousem4you" cackling "And we would have got away with it, too, except for you damn nosy gimps." With that in mind, I had to focus my diary on one of the questions I find most essential in this particular fight: Where do you stand, when you can't?
(Of course, I have other questions, too, like why Scott Walker snuck through changes to WI's long-term care program that, according to the advocate profiled "Don't represent significant savings" for the state. )
I do understand that, if he is successful, many rural Wisconsinites will have to leave communities where they can't get services.
(Gotta love that small government, right? Ditto "local control", which seems only to apply to not teaching sex education in school and increasingly weird and scary gun laws for the modern GOPasaur.)
Does my friend Mike Ervin, advocate and Smart Ass Cripple really need to pare his life to one room in a nursing home just so he can get up in the morning? I, for one, don't see anything funny about that.
