Price gouging is illegal in California . If you see that a company has increased their product price significantly, like hotels, rent, masks, supplies, you are urged to file a complaint with the Attorney General’s Office by going to the Attorney General’s website or by calling (800) 952-5225.

If you are flying a drone in Southern California right now, you deserve to have your ass beat.* I’m generally non-violent but I’ll make exceptions. *With the obvious exception of anyone using it for legit firefighting reasons.

“There’s no city or county in America that has the resources or technology to fight a fire storm with 80 mph winds. It doesn’t exist – We’re in a new climate crisis territory. Don’t let them gaslight you into believing differently.” @brianrayguitar

The Venn diagram of people that deride California for having high taxes and being “socialist” and people that are now trying to pin blame on budgets and government inaction is a circle.

Last summer was the hottest ever in Los Angeles. In what should be our rainy season, we have had 2% of the normal rainfall. Climate change models predict exactly this happening. More and more extreme weather patterns. Fires aren’t random. It’s not a conspiracy. It’s climate change.

Most felons can’t own a gun, many can’t vote and find international travel limited. This orange t*rd will be president shortly. Trump should be in jail, not at the helm of the most powerful country in the world. Shameful.

Can men of privilege…who do not feel the impact of policies on forests, children or their ability to breastfeed children…actually have the compassion to make policy that is reflection of the interests of others. At this point, I think not.― Winona LaDuke

Strikes work. The ski patrollers got everything they asked for. Pay bumps across the range. Better parental leave. If your employer is scared of unions it is simply because unions give power back to workers. They fear that. Good.

How did we get here?

Rare that my gut tells me that Trump is telling the truth, but Zuck appears to be licking the boot fully.

16 years of dem leadership. Passed Germany to be the 4th largest GDP in the world. Budget surplus. Fast food workers get $20/hr. Yet I’m told we are a communist failed state. Weird. https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/major-turnaround-california-surplus-newsom-says-20018643.php

Quitting Amazon is hard for me. I used to think I didn’t like shopping. Then came Amazon and I realized I just don’t like going to stores. But Bezos helping trump get elected and bowing down to him is too much. So Prime ends tomorrow and I add Amazon to the “not gonna shop there” […]

January 6 2021 was treason. An attempt to overthrow the government, led and encouraged by Trump and many other Republicans. No matter who he pardons, they are forever and always traitors.

Probably time to talk to your vegan friends about good substitutes for eggs in your baking… Nearly a million chickens tested positive for bird flu at a farm in a western county of Ohio, according to the Ohio Department of Agriculture in December. And there are signs it has spread to wild birds…

People forget that family planning used to include having spare children because you’d figure on losing some. Vaccines are easily one of the top three most impactful scientific discoveries since fire. (Credit for the chart to Geoffrey Goins on FB)

The only thing surprising about Trump is how cheap he sells himself. $1M is nothing to companies like this. $280 million for Musk is like your or I buying lunch for someone. And yet Trump has no real beliefs or conviction and sells our country for a pittance.

First, the stock market does not reflect how well the economy is serving all citizens. About 60% of American adults own stocks, with lower percentages of Black and Hispanic ownership. That said, if this happened under Trump they would be crowing from the rooftops, but will give Biden no credit

Politicians, and their immediate family, should only be allowed to hold stocks in the broadest of index funds. They would have an incentive to make sure all companies do well. Pelosi has a record of trading that defies the odds. If she isn’t using insider info, she should have been a fund manager.

Healthcare insurance in the USA is organized crime. But politicians on both sides are profiting, so we’re going to have to fight like hell to get change.

Speaker Johnson on Fox blaming Biden’s “wide open border” for the New Orleans attack. Trump blaming immigrants. The a** was born/raised in Texas, served in the US Army. F them and their racist gaslighting. I 100% guarantee if the a**hole was white they would not be blaming immigrants.

The housing crisis needs to be seriously addressed. My grim prediction is that as boomers age, the nursing homes and end of life care will bleed them dry, and much of the housing stock will be sold to corporations to rent back to us. https://brilliantmaps.com/us-houses-prices-1950-2024/

Sure is confusing. Everytime I go online I get told I live in a communist failed hellscape… California is overtaking Germany to be the 4th largest economy in the world.
