I was disappointed—and disgusted—to read that some internet service providers—big names in the industry, not local providers—charge poor neighborhoods the same rate for inadequate service as they charge customers in better neighborhoods for the deluxe package. So, forget online school or online meetings, or other ways to use modern technology if you live in the wrong neighborhood. It’s discrimination at its finest—and most blatant.

 

I hope that the customers find an advocate to sue the pants off discriminatory providers.

 

 

A Chilling Comment

With regard to the emergency response to the school shooting in St. Louis, police, fire, and school safety officials said that everything went as well as it could have.

 

Well, isn’t that swell.

 

It’s true: Minimal loss of life because of prompt action by authority figures at school, shooter-training drills, and the actions of the response teams.

 

But do we hear ourselves? “Well, for a school shooting, it wasn’t too bad.”

Shameful.

Another school shooting, this time in St. Louis. One student and one teacher killed, several students injured.

 

I wonder if teachers will ever decide to go on strike until responsible gun ownership is the law of the land?

 

If they do, at the rate gun reform has moved over the past decades, school could be out (or online-only) for the next 20 years.
