πŸ’― So much energy in our state goes to shutting down proposed fixes for serious problems vs working to find better solutions.

I don’t support the exact language, but will vote Yes bc the proposal I do support (& filed) went no where, like tax relief, transfer fee & more. Past time to do something.

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm.

The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him.

I pointed out there are about 200 journalists at the Philadelphia Inquirer and about 100 at the Baltimore Banner. Imagine losing both those publications in a day.
