That's DeathSantistan to those of us who own property here.

eta: It is, and oh my, it is absolutely gorgeous. Just adds to the tragedy that that whole mess was, Ed and Elaine could have lived out their years in that place and instead chose, well, another circumstance.

Gregg wrote: ↑Thu Mar 24, 2022 12:50 am I have, with varying degrees of seriousness, looked into teaching high school in Ohio or Pennsylvania when I quit building motorcars in the next year or two. Sadly, even for courses in basic consumer finance, business or economic principles as they affect the daily lives of people I am considered by the state to be unqualified, because despite having 3 graduate degrees in the subjects including a doctorate, I have not in the course of my studies taken 12 credit hours of education coourses.

So, okay, I'll go back to school for a semester. But no. No college I have found will just let me take the 12 hours of undergraduate courses in education, because I have that pesky doctorate. But they are all, every one, glad to talk to me about entering some level of getting a graduate degree in education.

Until then, despite being seriously considered for teaching jobs at the same institutions that won't let me take undergrad courses for credit, I am unqualified to teach below the college level. Unless I want to be a substitute teacher. Ohio will let me do that.

Knowing that, I will just assume that Floriduh will not let me teach just because I can read and do algebra.

Can’t wait to hear what Desantis has to say about why he likely just lost most or all of the $300 million from the Florida state employees pension fund that he has tied up in Russia. His spokesperson assures us we just have to wait for the market in Moscow to come back around.

So thousands of Florida teachers, police officers, firefighters, etc. have to hope that we can somehow get the money out of Russia that they invested in the Florida State Retirement System.? This fund is managed by Desantis and two other Republicans.

Ron Desantis is asked about the Clarence/Ginni Thomas controversy: “The only thing I would say is, Clarence Thomas - greatest living Justice and one of the greatest public servants in America.”

Desantis gets sexual and biblical on the campaign trail: “Gird your loins for battle. We are going to fight. Put on the full armor of God. You take a stand against the Left’s schemes. Yeah, you’re gonna face flaming arrows.”
