My wife asked Alexa for tomorrow's weather on Tybee Island. Alexa said hold onto your hat. Could be thunderstorms. A good day for kite flying.
She reprimanded Alexa, who was contrite and admitted flying a kite in a storm was a bad idea.

We recognise that the country faces many current challenges, but we do not want short-sighted decisions to have long-lasting effects on the future study of the co…
