You can’t defend your statement cause you spouted republican propaganda like you always do. California was a beautiful and prosperous land of opportunity(for pretty much its entire existence) until it was ruined by progressive ideology and politics the last decade. And the numbers don’t lie. Those great businesses are fleeing, and same with the people. Guess your numbers were wrong. So now you want to switch to quality of life and rule of law? Even in those two criteria California ranks higher than most if not all republicans led states. I was plainly talking about quality of life all along. On that front, California has become a shithole. Businesses are leaving, as are people, especially wealthy ones. You deny these numbers? lol ok and your retort is GDP LMFAO? Nowhere in the country has the homeless problem they do. They openly tell folks they won’t do shit if you steal something under $1000. They riot at the drop of a hat, even after winning the World Series. Plenty of states do it way better, just off the top of my head, Texas, Florida, Colorado, Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, Nevada, most, probably all of New England… But yea, awesome retort. I mean I’m regularly cited here by people here whom don’t even share my politics as being pretty rational and fact based, meanwhile I don’t think I’ve ever seen you post anything in a non investment thread that doesn’t scream whiny lib.
Gregmal Posted June 10, 2025 Posted June 10, 2025 Yea, it’s moot. Who cares. They obviously feel good about their situation and rightfully so. People are currently flocking to California to take advantage of their high taxes, feces and trash lined streets, shuttered retail stores, insurance claims on their cars, anti law enforcement policies, and hubba hubbas like Karen Bass. It’s all super expensive to rub elbows in the communities where private security handles the day to day but who cares. It’s a rules for thee not for me lifestyle. Long live prosperity.
cubsfan Posted June 10, 2025 Posted June 10, 2025 I love the logic of democrats: We reserve the right to burn our cities down, especially those minority owned businesses we are charged to protect. It's for the greater good!!

Then the second Biden enters all the restrictions and big deal/severity BS all of a sudden stop being forefront and center? Remember how Trump was unfit for office and his kids criminals? And then Biden gets in there and "Hunters not actually in the White House"(even though it turned out he was)...How riots were "peaceful protests" when it was the fraudsters at BLM burning down buildings and businesses, but shoe on the other foot and its a friggin "insurrection"... oh and my favorite, how could we forget! Bidens mental deterioration was simply a "far right conspiracy theory"! Like literally, fuck these people. It doesnt matter what they say anymore.

Any attempt to morally equate Hamas with the IDF demonstrates extreme ignorance and prejudice. You'd be armed and ready to shoot if your neighbors were intent on murdering you and your family. No one is equating Hamas with the IDF. The neighbor argument doesn't hold water here. If my neighbor was intent on murdering me or my family, we could simply move to another place. Israel and the Palestinians can't just move...unlike what Trump is espousing! Cheers!

If LA and greater California want to continue to be disgusting, crime and homeless ridden shitholes then let em burn. No need to waste resources on those feckless failures. Except for the 25% of GDP and taxes they contribute to the economy. Yeah, that California shithole...let it burn! If it burns, it takes down the whole U.S. Cheers!

Tuberville centers Trump in his gubernatorial campaign “We’ll have a great game plan a year and a half from now,” Tuberville stated. “We’ll start from ground zero, but we’ll hit the ground running.” Tommy Tuberville: Roy Moore Without the Sex Scandals A Democratic-aligned super PAC is ordered to pay Roy Moore $8.2M in a defamation suit Tuberville dealings include failed hedge fund, charity Sessions: Tuberville’s fraud scandal “can’t just be swept under the rug” Sure it can Jeff.

I'm a Yankee fan and it's the same as me objecting to someone saying the Yankees have been an utter failure. I could bring up the past glory, the number of championships, the rich history of players, etc...but Id be deliberately doing that to compensate for the utter failure they've been since George passed; where they spend like drunken sailors, mismanage prospects, have a horrible medical staff, and outside of just saying "we're the yankees and here's a bag of money" they dont have the same future they once did. And all this can be true, and is true, despite the fact that perennially theyre a playoff team and they regularly have solid win/less records, but the futility resulting from mismanagement and taking their status for granted is undeniable. That's California in a nutshell. So yea, riot away. Eh peaceful protest away. Exactly when were the Yankees failures...Steinberg era or post-Steinberg era? They've been contenders almost every year in, year out for 40 years. By the say, last time I checked, the champs were in that shithole of Los Angeles in that has-been state of California! Go Shohei!

Cheers! I’m a huge Yankee fan. And the Hal Steinbrenner era has been a total failure for Yankee standards. George did whatever it took to win every year. Hal doesn’t want to spend like the Dodgers, isn’t good at developing talent like Tampa, Boston, Houston etc. Is too loyal to mediocre personnel. Hal fires Girardi because Sanchez and Torres don’t want to hustle and hate being held accountable. Fast forward and both were allowed to breathe Yankee stadium oxygen for multiple years past their obvious expiration. Boone can’t manage his way out of a paper bag but gets contract extensions like he’s asking for a piece of gum. They honestly remind me of the mid 2000s Mets. The sign over the hill big names hoping to sell jerseys crap. You think George EVER would have let the Mets outbid him for Soto? Hal is on record saying he isn’t willing to compete financially with the Dodgers.. So while they’ve been around, they’ve never really except for 2017 been seen as a real threat to win it all. Everyone knew the Dodgers would kill them last year. That the Padres were also probably better. So as a fan, especially as one who saw them when real teams were built the right way, Hal’s tenure has been a failure imo because the fundamentals and logic behind the decision making sucks. And what’s worse, like my NJ Devils post lockout….theyre still good enough compete but not good enough to match the best teams and as a result will just linger in purgatory thinking they’re just one piece away from getting over the top when the truth is a strategy reset is dearly needed.

DooDiligence Posted June 10, 2025 Posted June 10, 2025 FDA gets rid of useless humans and goes full autonomous driving. This should turn out good. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/10/health/fda-drug-approvals-artificial-intelligence.html?unlocked_article_code=1.N08.ewVy.RUHYnOG_fxU0 Last week, the agency introduced Elsa, an artificial intelligence large-language model similar to ChatGPT. The F.D.A. said it could be used to prioritize which food or drug facilities to inspect, to describe side effects in drug safety summaries and to perform other basic product-review tasks. The F.D.A. officials wrote that A.I. held the promise to “radically increase efficiency” in examining as many as 500,000 pages submitted for approval decisions. Current and former health officials said the A.I. tool was helpful but far from transformative. For one, the model limits the number of characters that can be reviewed, meaning it is unable to do some rote data analysis tasks. Its results must be checked carefully, so far saving little time. Staff members said that the model was hallucinating, or producing false information. Employees can ask the Elsa model to summarize text or act as an expert in a particular field of medicine. Dr. Reshma Ramachandran, a director of the Yale Collaboration for Regulatory Rigor, Integrity and Transparency, pointed out that Drs. Makary and Prasad were going on a six-city, closed-door listening tour to meet with chief executives of the drug industry. “How is this guarding the agency ‘against a cozy relationship’ with industry?” she asked. The F.D.A. priorities “read as though they’re straight out of PhRMA’s playbook,” she said, referring to the trade group.

Gregmal Posted June 10, 2025 Posted June 10, 2025 Let's not forget that the border was a "complex" issue and there was no easy solution...this after campaigning on open borders and cutting funding for border patrol and ICE. Among the many problems with the party, one of the biggest is they just can not seem to see the obviousness in doing simple things like this. You get a really expensive gift from the federal government, to help you clear out a bunch of shitbags, and the response should be "thank you". Instead, like tribal men, they need to turn it into a fight and be offended. Do they think LA or SF is MORE desirable with the lawlessness, looting and destructive violence? Shouldn't this just be common sense?
