I am once again asking you to rock the ~~house~~ senate down, Bernie.

In my opinion, if Newsom is anything worth his salt, he would invest public funds into tiny homes and basically guaranteed jobs for the homeless, rather than being cool with things like:

  • living in the BART facilities
  • living in tents on the street
  • being rounded up into random buildings/facilities because Xi is coming
  • $20 minimum wage for everyone but Panera Bread since the CEO is my friend

Newsom, literally with the stoke of a pen, could invest public funds into helping the homeless in a provable way, yet he does not. The only conclusion I can come to is that he does not want to.

Please, convince me otherwise, but the state of, at least, SF under Newsom (and big tech, admittedly) has greatly deteriorated

~~sparked~~ a national conversation [sparked] around gun violence as well as “stand your ground” and "castle doctrine," both self-defense laws."

this. This, is the headline.

The whole "black man killed by white man" is just race baity.

You're hired

Even worse!!! Why log in, ESPECIALLY if using a VPN, lol. Defeats the purpose of using a VPN by being like "hey reddit this is still me, just using a new IP"

Feel free to explain why Newsom has been campaigning on solving homelessness in California for ~10 years but only made progress when Xi Jinping visited recently, and also why he hadn't taken the exact same actions sooner. It's the same reason, after all.

That is a really cool resume item, ngl

Do you mind me asking the languages/frameworks backing it? (e.g. JavaScript/Node)

With the new bullshit ruling by SCOTUS

Care to explain? As far as I'm aware there are only benefits for hybrid/electric vehicles (in the US at least)

Describing someone using their race isn't racism

Making the story about race rather than "this old man shot this young man for seemingly no reason, old man bad" is, in fact, race baiting

If Newsom wanted to he could probably solve the crisis over night, just like he did when Xi Jinping visited.

In Utah they have been constructing "tiny homes" instead of more "shelters". I think it's a pretty good idea and, if I remember correctly, the only requirements to qualify are have the need and be drug free. Seems like a much better solution than shared spaces which often turn out to be quite dangerous for many reasons.

If a man ~50 years younger than me that I don't recognize/know knocks on my door at night, regardless of his race, I would be concerned. Would I just shoot him? No. Would an 80 year old man just shoot him? apparently, I guess... But equating it to racism, without any evidence, is simple race baiting...

The old man is clearly in the wrong, that doesn't mean he is racist just because the kid was black
