I just looked at my two high schoolers school fees. No laptop fee. They had to refund laptop fees last year because, by law, they became a necessity, since it was the only way education was being delivered. (Previously, you could opt out of the fee and not bring the laptop home over night.)

So, no fee means no matter how much the school board insists we are opening normally, they know we're locking down again.

Of course, they would never use this access against political opponents!

Shall we just go through the dictionary, call everything racist and get it over with?

Dictionaries are probably racist, too. The Incas had no written language.

The U.S. Constitution’s letter gives nearly all powers of government to the states, and reserves unmentioned ones “to the people.” Surely that includes powers over bathrooms, marriages, who competes with whom in sports, etc. It certainly includes power over elections. Customarily, we have regarded counties and cities purely as legal creatures of the states, enjoying only such autonomy as the states may concede. Though a federal statute granting broad autonomy over such matters to the states’ constituted sub-units and giving enough likeminded people the power to form units that enjoy such autonomy would run against more than a century of court decisions, it finds no barrier in the Constitution’s letter. Congress and the president can do this.

I've been reading Churchill's Birth of Britain. It explains the origin of the Saxon county/sheriff system. The American counties are where we should seek to defend our freedoms. Our rights to organize militias should be county based and operate on a county by county level. The militias protect our Tenth Amendment rights as citizens of the county. Constitutional Sheriffs likewise operate to defend our Constitutional powers and prevent the execution of unconstitutional laws.

In Michigan - Counties are a creature of the State. Local municipalities (townships, towns, villages and cities) are independent. Though, the county sheriff is an independent law enforcement agent from the state police - the county government has no general lawmaking jurisdiction (I find that odd also, but that's how it is).

I'm not thinking directly a product of county government, but using counties as indentifiers and organizational units. I can't see any township or county government directly supporting a militia these days (maybe there are a few out there, but not at scale). County control is the way it should have been developed, but wasn't. At this point, best we could do is initiate militias in favorable counties.
