Arizona’s Low-Income Families Aren’t Using School Vouchers
Working-class parents often express interest in vouchers. But in Arizona, the nation’s school choice capital, these families aren’t using them due to the inaccessibility of private schools and the costs of transportation, meals and uniforms.ProPublica
I seem to be missing something ... if the point of the vouchers is to improve every child' education ... why can't the vouchers be used to provide better conditions in a public school ...
Or ... as the cynic in me says ... the vouchers are just another perk to assist private schools ...

![In the technological realm, creativity by African Americans is regularly dismissed as cleverness, instead of being interpreted as smart, ingenious, or innovative.
In 1858, when plantation owner Oscar J. E. Stuart attempted to patent the double cotton scraper that his slave Ned invented, Attorney General Jeremiah S. Black firmly determined that “a machine invented by a slave, though it be new and useful, cannot, in the present state of the law, be patented. I may add that if such a patent was issued to the master, it would not protect him in the courts against persons who might infringe it.”?® The Patent Office made it abundantly clear that inventions by slaves were not worthy of patent protection. The implication was that slaves were not human beings and definitely not citizens. With this reasoning, it was inconceivable for the Patent Office to grant a Negro a patent.”” Even when American society began to accept the fact that African Americans did invent, black inventors were framed in a negative context. Some even went to the extent of denying that black people possessed American ingenuity. A white attorney expressed this perception by making the following comment in a patent rights battle involving a black inventor: “It is a well-known fact that the horse hay rake was first invented by a lazy negro [sic] who had a big hay field to rake and didn’t want to do it by hand.”](https://poliverso.org/photo/preview/640/57684419 "In the technological realm, creativity by African Americans is regularly dismissed as cleverness, instead of being interpreted as smart, ingenious, or innovative.

Ok, cool. Clearly I haven't been keeping up with the ATmosphere Report : P #MeaCulpa
At this point the focus moves from whether the full ATProto stack can be independently hosted (it can) to;
* does BS Inc. retain control of any chokepoints in a way that, say, Mastodon.social doesn't?
* how effectively does ATProto distributes sociopolitical power? Which was the main focus of @cwebber's analysis IMHO.
