This is important because Jocelyn Benson has refused since being elected to as Michigan's Secretary of State in 2018 to purge inactive voters from the state's voting rolls, has utterly failed to do meaningful audits of election performance, and totally botched two investigations.

High tech manufacturing, with cost-effective, automation needs more and better trained workers. But too many HSers are pushed to go to universities instead of tech schools. What can manufacturers or high schools do to help manufacturers fill those jobs? #USManufacturing

"Do not be afraid of spending quality time by yourself. Find meaning or don’t find meaning, but 'steal' some time and give it freely and exclusively to your own self. Opt for privacy and solitude. That doesn’t make you antisocial or cause you to reject the rest of the world. But you need to breathe. And you need to be."
