Honestly it’s the least believable line in the article. No way Abbott misses a chance to bash Obama.

It’s a baseball stadium. Seems pretty unreasonable to require that she be the only one sober.

“Not my flees, not my circus!” Declare local police after any event that would make them relevant and justify their budget.

Gov developed/maintained Linux build for military purposes will probably become a necessity within a year or two for security reasons as Microsoft has entered cannibalization phase.

Do you have a drivers license, clean driving record, and don’t use drugs. Then City Public Works or Garbage Collection both pay well, have low entry requirements, and provide on the job training for tons of equipment that translates well to a bevy of warehouse and construction positions if you decide to move on afterward.

If any of the three above are a problem though you might look into a Plumbing or HVAC apprenticeship. These tend to be more flexible on things like drivers licenses, driving record, and even criminal record. It’s basically on the job training for a couple of years until you pass your Journeyman exam. Some places start at min wage until you reach Journeyman, but depending on location (and need) it can be $15-17 starting and goes up to about $1000 per week once you get the Journeyman license. This applies to Electrical and Glaziers as well but they are also quite a bit more dangerous.

Two points. First Eugenics has an outsider making breeding choices not the breeders that’s the point of self selecting. Second I don’t think you even conceptually understand theoretic/metaphoric modeling and if you do you are purposely ignoring it for rhetoric benefit. If it’s the former then Wikipedia would vastly simplify any further discussions, if it’s the latter then this discussion need not continue.

As to the purpose of the satire it’s an absurd mirror to modern life and a thought experiment on the consequences of free breeding without external pressure (see earlier discussion about how intelligence is expensive). It’s also an optimistic and comedic take on NIMH when you take it too further conclusions and comparisons.
