Current Events 5.3

1.  The City of Austin and AISD are working together to save money for schools by doing a tax swap--in which certain school services could be taken over and funded by the city.  It'll save each homeowner money, but proposes some concerns for the staff of AISD and the homeowners possibly having to pay higher taxes.

2.  It could take until 2022 in order to get minimum wage in NY  to raise to $15.

3.  Villanova won the NCAA game with 77-74.

4.  Of the ten places, the one I'd want to visit the most is the United Kingdom, purely for the Harry Potter experience.  My little cousin has been to the UK and seen the Harry Potter museums and studio, and I'm extremely jealous.  Also, the history and the beauty and the apparent crappy weather--I love crappy weather, it's fantastic.  Like New York.

5.  It would be cool for Instagram to extend the length of the videos, but not to a whole minute.  Watching the videos would take forever if someone decided to post one that's a minute long--those are the kinds of things that should probably be posted on YouTube for entertainment, not a social media site.

6.  Ted Cruz and Donald Trump are the major candidates left for the Republican party; Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are the major candidates left of the Democratic party.
     I'm not supportive of any of the candidates--I don't like Donald Trump, I don't like Hillary Clinton, I have no inclination toward Ted Cruz or Bernie Sanders.  A while ago, I stopped trying to figure whose side I was on; I can't do anything about it, either way.
     The community of teens has come together in mutual hate for Donald Trump, but I think the US has been more divided--they're arguing over whether Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump should win, which I can't even make myself try to understand; neither of them are ideal, or anywhere near ideal.  Ted Cruz is pretty much being ignored, except by the people who are voting for him.  Bernie Sanders is who my very sensical mom's friend is rooting for, which is pretty much all I know about him.
     What concerns me the most--I don't want Clinton or Trump to win.  It's honestly a scary thought--the thought of either of them winning.  America would inevitably go to hell, and every other country would hate us more than they already do.  I don't know what discussions the candidates are having; I would have no idea where to begin.  So, I don't know which ones would be most important to me.
     I'm sick of hearing about the campaign, and I'm ready for it to be over.  People get in arguments over it, and it consumes time--discussing the campaign.  Time could be spent better than talking about whether or not one terrible person or another terrible person should win the election.
