It’s basically illegal to build apartments in most of the bay area other than a few tiny downtown areas. It’s changing in the last few years but still very difficult.

Unregulated? Clearly you don’t know the Bay Area.

Is there some reason this wasn’t filibustered?

The FBI should be abolished or at the bare minimum severely curtailed to only cases where state law enforcement is somehow impossible.

Strikes need to be coordinated by unions or some other organizational structure. It takes a lot of work to organize. We have to do the work first, not just call for it on social media and hope it magically happens.

Maybe. I am hopeful that with declining popularity the political resistance will only be stronger in a few months. Trump is pissing off a lot of people and that makes him weaker every day. So if he tries again I’m even more optimistic we force him to back down.

Oh shit he said stop in all caps, there’s no way anyone could say no to that!

My sense is that most Americans just dismiss this stuff as political nonsense and don’t pay attention to it. They don’t realize how many people, including them, might be affected in the future.

Probably at least try lol. But I’m not sure we’ll have quite the political monopoly the boomers did as we’re proportionately smaller and also I think more diverse, so we have less of a singular vision for politics.

Culturally irrelevant in terms of what? I think we’ll be culturally relevant until we die, just like previous generations. For example, despite their age, boomers have dominated politics for almost my entire life.

Loud cars. So fucking lame.

Lol that is not within the control of a random individual judge.

Good for him. It’s time to escalate this. However I am afraid the Supreme Court will pacify lower judges who try to act.

Probably didn’t develop fully yet. Eggplants are picked before they fully ripen. They could also be aborted seeds that will never grow too.

Interesting. It always amazes me that all across the world politicians lie, victimize, and manipulate their people, and we can all see it in other countries. Yet in every country, so many people think “but not our leaders, they are different, they are better!” It’s quite sad.

We should never respect those who enforce that respect through violence.

Is it respect or fear? To me those are different.

Well, those people are wrong but I’m not sure it’s that important of a distinction. Trump has openly said he is looking for a legal justification to do this to citizens soon.

I’m amazed that anyone would think this isn’t real. It’s so incredibly obvious to me, even in myself though I try to work against it.

I know that’s an important safety rule but I’m asking specifically about the law.

Even if this is all true, is it normal to be charged with attempted murder just for pointing a gun at someone? Isn’t that usually called brandishing?
