Timelies all!

Nothing new on the Mr. S front. We thought there was a placement for him on Thursday, but then more information was made available to CPS, and they needed to meet about it. Sigh...

In different news, Gary and I went to the Springsteen show on Wed. It was a great show, as usual. Plenty of political commentary.

My crowd issues make big rock shows challenging, but I’d totally consider trying for Bruce Springsteen. I’m glad you were able to go, Sheryl.

Springsteen has really stepped up. I'd love to see him live.

def one of the people I still wish I could see.

I still sort of believe in a universal basic income, but that will get corrupt too.

My non-expert opinion is that a truly universal entitlement is harder to corrupt than one with any amount of gatekeeping. If there's no barrier to entry then there's no system to game. (That's a vast oversimplification, but I stand by the principle of Just Give People Money and If You Don't Make The Rules Full of Cruel Nonsense Then Nobody Will Need To Lie To Feed Their Children.)

We are having a new roof put on today and boy, it's loud.
