surely we can rely on the cops to police themselves. it's worked so well the last 50 times we (pretended) to try it. it's cool how you can tell the legislature only cares about police gangs because it was in the news. nothing about the prison smuggling rings, despite it being a pretty open secret lol. there's no way no elected officials heard about it.

It’s not great actually since it won’t help bare, you can only sell them with a bona fide meal and limits them to 2 per person so no like 3-cocktail with mason jars. Also only takeout no delivery. It’s so performative it hurts. https://sf.eater.com/2021/9/10/22666986/cocktails-to-go-legal-california

The difference of course is that California's state laws concerning the permitting of DDs are much more restrictive than most other states, even taking into account population differences, in that most of the DD permit holders should be either LEAs (Law Enforcement Agencies) or Hollywood Prop Houses. I have this sneaking feeling that while one would think that most of the DD permit holders would be with the prop houses... that the share of those permits held by LEAs is much larger than one might expect.

It’s also well density. We have geothermal and a shitload of oil/natural gas wells. Explosives are used on the regular to abandon old wells, which we have a poo poo load of. I’m not saying you’re entirely wrong, just that there are more uses of explosives than you’d initially think.

I dunno if this means anything but Texas has a lot of oil Wells as well, and they'll run guns and so forth down those Wells as well. Well.

Rodenthar Drothman posted:I’m sorry, am I misinterpreting what a “destructive device” is? I should have made that more clear initially. So there's a license for being able to get a DD-permitted device in the first place, and then each device (including ammunition, so if there's a grenade launcher then each grenade is a DD) requires a permit for transfer. Now... technically speaking, the less-than-lethal launchers that agencies have... like the example I gave for LAPD? It's probably registered as a DD, because 40mm launchers are (as far as I know) compatible and typically designed to be used with 40mm explosive rounds, though they paint the launcher orange or green and designate it as less than lethal. However, they could have purchased a 37mm launcher, which is exempted as a DD for use for flares and gas and other less-than-lethal methods. Maybe there's industry practical reasons they went with 40mm (Maybe the less than lethal rounds for 40mm are more available and/or cheaper), however they also may have purchased 40mm because they're compatible with standard 40mm explosive rounds. (to be clear, 37mm rounds could be explosive, it's just they're typically not built that way in industry since most companies selling explosive grenades for launchers are selling them in 40mm, not 37mm, in the US) I don't have the answers for that since I'm not a subject matter expert (at all, other than really putting my nose into the regulations and having a general familiarity with firearms), but it could be, again, product availability, or it could also be another aspect of the militarization of police by wanting to have more options with 40mm. Anyhow, back to the original point: I'm kind of curious how many permits various agencies are pulling; CA DoJ would have that information since they have their own DD licensing program in addition to federal, so some of that info should be available through PRA.

From what I understand the state legislature can just pass UHC whenever they want but their funding plan for it relies on tax hikes that have to be put to a ballot prop.

I'd be for a multi-state healthcare plan, with oregon (who red counties would be THRILLED at the ideal) and washington. Are states allowed to go into contractual agreements for something like this? Probably showing my ignorance on what state to state commerce can be contractually enforced.

I mean your choices are going to be either California makes its own universal health plan or a bunch of people don't get healthcare. A federal UHC program isn't happening in our lifetimes.

The state has a large budget surplus, we have a federal administration with a Health and Human Services Secretary who has supported his support for single payer healthcare in the past, and we're still in a pandemic. If a universal healthcare system can't pass now in California, then we're hosed in the near-term future.

In a vaccum universal California healthcare sounds good but I'm pretty sure it's going to end up never actually happening and we'll blame the 2 Republicans in the legislature for it even though there was 80 Democrats from SF and LA voting no or some poo poo. Or they'll put the funding to a plebiscite and then just pretend like they can't possibly use any of the

if universal healthcare is being considered it’s only because liberals have figured out a way to make sure the money goes anywhere other than healthcare for the working class, like the state’s constitutional mandate to fund education, environmental sustainability, or any of the other myriad commitments to common prosperity that the insufferable petite bourgeois woke scolds love to suck each other off over
