Pandemic pods?

Have you heard about pandemic pods as a reaction to school shutdowns?

Families pull together groups of students (typically four to 10 or so), find a space that can accommodate the group (typically within one of the families’ homes), and then hire a teacher to teach these co-quarantined students for several hours, several days a week.

For some families, this will serve as their primary mode of schooling this fall. For others, it will supplement what their child’s public or private school is providing online during the year.

Sounds great to me. Anything that serves to weaken the public education establishment’s grip is a good thing.

Did you see that video where the Penguin seemed to deny that there are antifa-led riots in Portland? (Skip ahead to 0:45 in the link.)

From what I hear, some people don’t even know that there are violent riots going on — that people are throwing bricks at police, firing mortars and shooting fireworks at them, setting government and private property on fire, threatening to kill police officers, etc.

In 1984, the government controlled all media. Now, we all have movie studios in our pockets and can share videos all over the place. But still … supposedly … the message isn’t getting out.

It’s very strange. Everyone exists in their own bubble.
