If anything I think I've actually been seeing mask usage improve honestly.

Just got back from my semi-weekly grocery run and mask compliance was pretty good here in LA at ralphs.

Two weekends ago no one was wearing a mask in Monterey (had to visit for work). The weekend after nearly everyone was. Interesting turn around.

some good news: https://twitter.com/DominicFracassa/status/1278080125041549313 to catch people up, almost two years ago SF passed a ballot measure, Prop C, or Our Cities Our Homes, a 0.5% tax on only businesses in the city with over 50 million dollars in annual revenue, to be spent on permanent housing and mental health and other services for the unhoused. it was opposed by mayor London "i want th unhoused to die" Breed and Scott "tallest stack of poo poo in Sacramento" Weiner, and when it passed with 62% of the vote, immediately a bunch of concerned dirtbags sued the city, confident that they could get the whole thing shut down. why did they think that? well, State Prop 218, passed in 1996 (and whose wikipedia article has a section titled "Profound Impact on California Governance") says that all tax increases must pass as ballot measures by two thirds majorities!! Boooo prop 218! But the city attorney has said ever since prop C was first being discussed that it only needed 50% to pass, because prop 218 only applies to measures put on the ballot by elected officials, not ones introduced by referendum and signature-gathering. And he based that on a 2017 California Supreme Court Decision that i haven't read. Well, now four judges in a row have agreed with him, and it will probably go to that same state supreme court, and we'll probably get to spend the hundreds of millions we've already collected. BUT EVEN BETTER, it will show a clear path that people everywhere in California can use to start actually funding social services and making their cities genuinely supportive of human life.

Sounds like we need an industry-backed proposition to ban human life, if you ask me. (Glad to see this is getting upheld. Hopefully the SC won't poo poo on it out of nowhere.)

I just looked that up and wow, Breed couldn't even come up with a better argument against it other than it would be "anti business" lol

I think that they are afraid, and rightfully so, that if this gets upheld a whole bunch of tax referendums are going to start piling onto the ballots and that in the current political climate taxing the rich into the loving ground might just be popular enough to get 50%+1 when it shows up. Which means either large tax bills in a market too large to safely abandon or having to dump tens or even hundreds of millions to prevent passage, which is a lot more than they usually have to spend to keep a supermajority of assemblymembers from voting yea on a tax measure. I relish their fear.

I'd love to just sit on the beach away from people. Unfortunately, it's full of huge groups of people doing poo poo together like dumbasses.

Good, he hosed up by caving to all the idiots clamoring for him to reopen and hopefully this time around he has the balls to hold firm until we actually have this thing under control so we can avoid the perpetual repeat brownout scenario most of the country is going to be facing for the next ~12-18 months absent an accelerated effective vaccine.

I have been reliably* informed that PG&E** has installed many new switches in their power grid and can target their brownout areas far more precisely than in the previous year, therefore everything will be much better this time around. *PG&E is not actually reliable **PG&E delenda est

There was a week or so in April where we hot 90s-100s in SoCal and LA County opened up the Community Cool Shelters But With Social Distancing. So die of heat stroke or die of Covid. Great choices.

I'm leaning 75% certainty this is not the case, just that they won't let it get Florida/Texas/Arizona bad with each cycle, resulting in more cycles but less death.

Sydin posted:London Breed is loving walking human garbage. Here's the thing: unless the state sets up a testing > contact tracing > quarantine regime, we're just gonna be locking down and then opening up for the next year or two until the virus evolves to be less deadly. A new lockdown is strictly just going to be about keeping ICU beds open otherwise. Also gently caress London Breed.

Even in the grips of a desperate budget shortfall California has the resources to set all of this up and more, so it should be done. It won't be - you're right this is more about just making sure hospitals don't get overwhelmed - but it should.
