Kitchen Table Kibitzing is a community series for those who wish to share a virtual kitchen table with other readers of Daily Kos who aren’t throwing pies at one another. Drop by to talk about music, your weather, your garden, or what you cooked for supper…. Newcomers may notice that many who post in this series already know one another to some degree, but we welcome guests at our kitchen table and hope to make some new friends as well.
Two topics of conversation are front and center, even beating out the everlasting pandemic; Cancun Cruz and the plight of frozen Texas. So you are welcome to post your Cruz memes. And if you are in Texas, please tell us how you are doing. We want to know!
Laughing at Sen. Cruz may not do much to end the suffering of our Texas brothers and sisters, but maybe, just maybe this scandal will end his political career. It should. (If it doesn’t, there’s that other thing that happened on Jan. 6...)
The larger issue is that running government like a business, i.e. with profit rather than service as the goal, is a disaster waiting to happen — until that disaster does happen, as it did in Texas. This is a good discussion:
The kitchen is open — the lights are on, the room is comfortably warm, and there is a place at the table waiting for you. Share your day, your weekend plans, your menus! This is an open thread.
