Our beloved tuxedo in the thick of our teenager's clean laundry... deposited on his beanbag. She appeared at 2am starving & flea-ridden as a 6-week old in our backyard - would guess coyotes & owls made off with the rest. Now she's ours and we are hers.

Grateful: appreciate it.
So, could be covered with ~3.25% of its $4B endowment.
Not saying that's ideal.
Not saying 15% is reasonable.
Just assessing options.

I made a quick endowment table as compliment to the NIH one floating today. Just quantifying will alienate some. Oh well.

Was it the hand me down from Elle Woods?

Local News is reasonably ignored & neglected until spending is devolved away from the federal level.
Rebuilding it a waste of journalistic resource until state & local funding constitutes a meaningful share of the public funding effecting people's lives.

"Follow the money...."

I am NOT a radical federalist because I am hostile to progressive policy. I want states/cities to answer locally... not to backdoor "limited government" or to "pwn da libs."
Quite the contrary: "I don't care."
But trying to "win!" the culture wars through federal agency has run its course.
Failed.
