Kids and education... I doubt anyone in my world is going to take the idea of homeschooling or alternative education very seriously: I went to Montessori, then I was homeschooled, then Italy, then intermediate and high school and uni in NZ. Plus those are usually points-scoring exercises in the House. So yeah, I'm not hugely interested in young people. Economics and finance are also largely abstractions to me.

Gangs and police is a snoozer, but it affects my life, so I usually pay attention.
