American Capitalism
Unfortunately, this isn't new. I think we saw this several years ago. But no matter - when you'll sell armor plates to parents for their grade-schoolers' backpacks instead of insisting that lawmakers address the problem at its source, you have to stop pretending you're arguing against reasonable gun laws from any kind of principled position.
CNN:
A Miami private school is offering parents an unusual item for sale: bulletproof panels for their kids' backpacks.
The Florida Christian School website has a list of items available for purchase. These include winter wear, red school logo T-shirts and ballistic panels.
Any foolish claim you've made to the Moral High Ground is now forfeit.
And also too - nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste or intelligence of the American public.
George Gulla, dean of students and head of school security at Florida Christian School, told CNN the bulletproof panels would add "another level of protection" to students of the pre-K through grade 12 school "in the event of an active shooter."
Any foolish claim you've made to the Moral High Ground is now forfeit.

A Map
Just wanted to throw this one up and look at it for a while.
(WaPo)
I don't do colors very well, but to me, this looks a lot like Virginia has seen a significant shift towards the Blue end.
Even all that wide open space in the western and southwestern parts don't have that deep red thing going on like before.
But what's really odd is the purpling of places like Fredericksburg and The Tidewater (Norfolk etc) because of the fairly heavy National Security presence in those areas.
I guess it's possible that the GOP's insistence on the belt-tightening fiscal regime that eventually led to the choking effects of Sequestration is making life difficult in places that depend a lot on federal money. We heard a little of that leading up to Tuesday's elections.
I dunno.
Once upon a time, a friend who knows about such things told me the reason most US Military people have been way more inclined to vote Republican is that the Democrats were the ones who sent them to war in stupid places, for stupid reasons - Korea, Vietnam, etc - while cutting their budgets and talking shit about them, but now they're drifting to the Dems because it's the GOP who's been doing all that lately.
I dunno again.
It's pretty weird, and getting weirder - Bob Goodlatte (R-VA06) just announced he's not running in 2018, which makes him like the 20th Repub to bail - so I think it doesn't start getting un-weird for a while yet.
The more we learn, the less we know - just keep watching I guess.

"...solve for middle income..."
Malarkey - the only thing they're trying to solve is the problem of getting us to say "thanks for the hat" while they shit on our heads.

Could Be A Lot
I'm wondering how significant it is when the opening bit at CMA is a nice big slam on 45*.
