French schools in poor areas to stay open until 6 PM. Seems like a good idea for many reasons. Gives nerds a place to nerd, for one thing. There was once talk (among Dems) of doing something similar in US. Did it happen? https://t.co/huuzULMSqJ

Note Lind reinforces fears of those who think there still might be a “surge” at border. Many more people want in than even Mayorkas’ huge “legal” path allows. At the moment they’re patient. If they lose patience they might try to cross between “ports.” And if they get in … how… https://t.co/lZdLKXHUb4

Judging from latest @ConsumerReports guide you could do worse than buy a to-be-discontinued Chrysler 300 or Dodge Charger. Rare N. American (Canada) car with above-average reliability. A bit lumbering, but if I were driving long distance would be my choice. Eats up whole states.
