Six years ago, Greg Abbott came to this school and promised to invest in public education.
Now this school is at risk of closing.
Abbott is no longer working for the nearly 6 million school children of Texas — he’s working for the billionaires who write $6 million checks.

Incredible spending on GenAI by companies such as OpenAI, Google, and xAI has created a lopsided ecosystem that’s bottom heavy and top light. I predict that in 2025, a new approach will emerge that can change all that. In my latest The-@WIRED-World-in-2025 article: www.wired.com/story/how-do...
