Why are landlords getting paid twice under this plan (back rent installments and tax credit)? Why not just pay them once by having the state pay people’s rent?

the landlords supposedly get a tax credit for the amount of the rent. this is better than the state writing them a check for the amount of the rent because it lets the big landlords who have cash reserves and can wait to get their money at the end of the year do so but the idyllic small granny landlord who rents out her kids' old bedroom to pay for dialysis and can't swing a 12-month delay gets hosed. thankfully there is also the market mechanism where granny can sell her pending tax credit to the big landlord for pennies on the dollar JG Wentworth-style Shear Modulus fucked around with this message at 18:01 on Jun 18, 2020 |

Entering the brave future where it would not be uncommon for a single person to have student loan debt, medical debt, credit card debt, and now rent debt. imo rename "consumers" to "debtors" in common parlance lmao welcome to America btihc!!!!

I've heard that indigenous peoples used to set up small, controlled PG&Es to manage the vast American forests and create paths for travel and game hunting.

Shamelessly cross-posting the follow-up: In Training posted:here's neighbor cam footage from downstairs, no verbal warnings, LAPD clearly open fires and then starts yelling GET ON THE GROUND after he's dead. Yeah, still nothing suspicious about Robert Fuller getting hanged to death from a tree, or the LA cops murdering his half-brother in broad daylight for no reason. Now they just need to say the half-brother was a suspect in the hanging, he resisted arrest, and bing bang boom, case closed! Justice has been served, the system works.

Black people getting murdered by the cops then the ‘investigations’ going nowhere, much less a conviction, is par for the course. It’s not a bug, it’s a feature, and the leaders of our state have no interest in burning away this type of systematic rot. My god, think what the donors would think?

Do you know who I think is happy with the development? His family and friends because now, no matter how unlikely, there is a chance of justice for their son and friend, rather then being swepped under the rug. It loving galls me that whenever we see evidence that something is going right, no matter how small, after weeks of suffering and abuse, posters like you waltz into the loving thread and drop "Well you see, nothing matters and actually all the protest is meaningless you see".

Another black guy got lynched, the cops already closed the case, then murdered the guy’s half-brother (while his wife and kid were in the car) once the FBI started sniffing around, and your takeaway is that my attitude is the problem? I apologize, you’re right, let’s focus on the ‘evidence that something’s going right’, stay positive, and move on. I’m sure the FBI investigation will bring justice, and the cops brutally cracking down is a sign that the protests are working and nothing larger is broken.

Well, you said it... except that pointless weak liberal incrementalism usually doesn’t even bother acknowledging that there is a problem.

Usually there's not an independent investigation no matter how outrageously horrible the cops are. They just get away with it immediately and permanently. You don't need to celebrate now that the FBI is involved, but it has at least the potential to nail the bad guys. It's not about staying positive, it's about seeing whether the promises cops made about fixing this poo poo (before it gets fixed for them) are something they actually make good on.

Still Dismal posted:Landlords are a powerful but beatable enemy in California land use politics. The real evil mega-boss, however, is homeowners. Home ownership really does rot a person's political imagination. I have had long long arguments about how self driving cars are, one most likely not going to be a thing and two even if they are going to be a thing they will an over engineered transportation solution that gives you some of benefits of rail. They just keep giving me the variations of either self driving cars are going to change everything or rail is to expensive to build.

Face coverings are mandatory now This document updates existing CDPH guidance for the use of cloth face coverings by the general public when outside the home. It mandates that face coverings be worn state-wide in the circumstances and with the exceptions outlined below. It does not substitute for existing guidance about social distancing and handwashing.

This is happening in Oakland tomorrow: https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/4ay3xm/one-of-americas-most-powerful-unions-will-shut-down-29-ports-on-juneteenth https://www.thenation.com/article/economy/dockworkers-union-shutdown-george-floyd/ The DSA will also be participating alongside the strikers. Apparently Angela Davis will be speaking at the port, and Boots Riley, Danny Glover and Cat Brooks will be speaking at Oscar Grant Plaza. E: technically the shutdown isn't just happening in Oakland but you know what I mean America Inc. fucked around with this message at 23:12 on Jun 18, 2020 |

if any of you fellow workers are remotely close to the area and want to march with a drill team that carries hooks, you should go. if you don't want to march, that's cool, you should also go, just go to the plaza in front of city hall 11ish instead of the port at 10ish.
