The greatest problem facing our world is not mass hunger or poverty. It is not climate change or racism or prejudice or war or terrorism.

Instead of talking about cats and dogs, former President Trump and Vice President Harris would have done better to address American children's education. So, here is a good reform of our education system that I would be happy to see the president-elect steal from me: Let’s prevent schools from starting before 9:30 a.m.
