That is the dumbest thing I've read all day. In summation: 1) people leaving is not a problem: wrong. Who does low level work? robots? illegal immigrants living in alleys? 2) there is not rental crisis, rent has merely kept up with inflation: wrong. unless inflation is 25% yearly. 3) It is just people complaining or just don't want to spend time with a job that pays what living the LA lifestyle requires. wrong. Homeless numbers are up because PEOPLE CAN"T AFFORD HOMES. See number one for the result of large numbers leaving.
The original article is on China not letting anyone other than themselves use maps of their roads. You morphed it into a diatribe on how much you hate America. It sounds as if you are the one with a problem. Do restaurant menus remind you how much you hate America? Does looking at a tree remind you of your awesome dislike of the USA? I would imagine, at parties, you're the annoying "Avoid that guy, all he does is bitch about America" guy, standing alone in the corner, fuming.
If you own bitcoin, and haven't converted to other forms of currency, then you're not making money: You're like a homeowner whose house value has gone up a lot: you have value on paper.
I grew up in Southern California. It's a desert with brush growing when rain allows it. Increased population pushing out into the desert means more chances of accidental fire. Add in a windy season, as we've always had, and it burns. It burns every year. Always. this year is worse because of the winds sticking around longer, but yeah: wind=fire for the most part in California.
In -N- out pays it's workers significantly better than most fast food places. As a result, they get the actually motivated young people working their first jobs. When I was a teenager I had multiple friends who fought to get a job there. If you're sixteen and everyone you know is schlubbing minimum wage, and you make two bucks more with coworkers who are actually smart, it can be a good working environment. The managers can make around 120K, so that's not chump change either.
Everybody who agrees with someone else's views usually refers to them as centrist. I'm sure Stalin thought his views were fairly centrist as well. And don't even pretend California could exist on its own. Just the water issue alone is enough to derail it.
Yeah, but I'm not OK with a sizable population living in the Grand Canyon demanding someone else in some less attractive place put them in for their use. which is exactly what everyone in Martha's Vineyard did.
Oddly, if you based your euthanizing decision ( which is itself warmongering, you'd need force of arms to pursue it effectively) on religion, the anti- religion would become sort of a religion of it's own. In other words: you'd end up becoming a religious warmonger in doing it.
I've never willingly heard anyone logical describe themselves as a SJW, just as I've never heard anyone logical describe themselves as a racist. Perhaps I need to get out more. Or perhaps it's an effective filter for me.
He does have a point, and has made it multiple times: His data may be crap. Supply some other data for us to look at, other than links to "your data is crap". Personally, a reference to Mother Jones would strike me as crap, but I'm not refuting it here.
Don't like it? Name the nuclear plant that rolls the complete cost of material mining, refining, plant construction, security, maintenance, insurance, disaster preparedness, decommissioning, and thousands of years of waste storage into the rates it charges to its customers. Of course such a plant is a unicorn.
Yeah, but no power industry does this. You don't see solar rattling on about silicon extraction, or windpower about magnet rare earth mining costs either.
Then you are incorrect. Please tell me how anyone starting in comedy would ever succeed if a currently successful comedian--who is respected - told everyone : "not only is that person not funny, they're kinda bitchy".
That's because LA's mass transit doesn't connect at all well. I have a job that until recently took TWO HOURS to drive to. Mass transit, via Metrolink, would have gotten me 80% of the way there in only 1 hour. The other 20%? a 1.5 hour bus ride followed by a ten minute train ride again. And, as none of these were coordinated, each step needed at least 20 minutes between. So my entire transit was something like three plus hours
It's like cancer or Alzheimers, or any other awful thing: If you haven't lived through it, you really don't understand it. And it's real easy to sit around saying "why, little kid, why'd you let your father beat on you? if it had been me, I'd have punched him in the face and walked out!"
So essentially, your definition is : Authoritarian and/or greedy=right, stuff I like=left. I hate to break it to you, but the extreme right and the extreme left are like the far side of a donut--they're barely indistinguishable from each other in how they achieve their goals. Your argument is sort of like sayinig "Well, he was (my group), until he did (bad thing), then he wasn't. Because my group doesn't do (bad thing).

WTF is a burp?
You start an argument off with "You are stupid". Why both continuing with your argument past that.
It's like me arguing with you about my favorite car, and starting with "Your mother is a whore! I enjoy driving....".
In case anyone cares, you can look up the salaries of any California state worker, including teachers, here: https://transparentcalifornia....

Californians are already are living in shacks on strawberry farms. It's the only housing they can afford.

of course jpl is in Pasadena! I drive right by it on my way to Pasadena! ;)
It's also a population issue: Entire population of Australia: 24 million. Entire population of California: 39 million.

Hell, people do that all the time on the internet, Just to make a point.

Or is this like "building a hyperloop between LA and New York is child's play".
