Oklahoma has amended its request for 55,000 Bibles to be placed in public schools that initially matched a version endorsed by former President Donald Trump.
Spoiler, Walters is 100% buying the Trump Bibles anyway. All this does is open the bidding a tiny bit more. Sure, someone can do a FOIA request and ask to see the bids, but they’ll ignore it. The Oklahoma State AG is currently sueing the Oklahoma State Department of Education for ignoring the AG’s own information requests. It’s just $5-6 million for Trump out of OK schools. But hey, it’s one of the best school systems if you flip the list up side down.
It’s not even plausible to imagine a world where people aren’t trying to break and exploit economic or government systems. It’s like an ecosystem where there are always plants and animals trying to find new ways to gain advantage, even if it involves full-on parasitic behavior. The only thing we can do is try and design a government dynamic and robust enough to respond to the most dangerous and aggressive mutations.

Sometimes I try to imagine what life could be like if people weren’t constantly doing everything they can to break and exploit our system…
