That’s what the article linked in this thread earlier said. quote:Drivers under the Albertsons Companies umbrella are employees, while Ralphs delivery is operated by Instacart and Target uses Shipt, a similar app. At Bay Area stores, drivers are unionized, and will not be affected by the layoffs. For southern California shoppers, this move leaves them without a grocery delivery option that treats drivers as employees. Join your union, and the big union.

The grocery store drivers that are keeping their jobs are UFCW members. All the ones being replaced by gig-drivers are the ones that didn't join UFCW. It's grocery store employees so they're UFCW not teamsters.

Proust Malone posted:Nobody told us there’s be those people... quote:The residents BenitoLink spoke to expressed concern for the less fortunate, though some homeowners in The Lanes are upset that they now live in homes worth hundreds of thousands of dollars while people experiencing homelessness have set up what appears to be a permanent camp on the other side of the wall just feet away. "Of course it's horrible that these poor people are homeless, but have you considered how unfair it is that they get to live near me, when I had to pay so much money to live here?" quote:Some of the homeless persons come into the community on garbage pick-up day, which she said “they don’t have permission to do.” She said she’s seen them “lurking around the neighborhood,” but is not aware of them stealing anything or attempting to break into homes. So they're not stealing, not vandalizing, not breaking into homes, and not harassing people. All they do is come in and pick bottles out of recycle bins for the CRV. Truly a menace to society worthy of writing a "poor new home owners!"  article about.quote:“They don’t bother me, but I think it’s important to relocate them,” she said, adding that when she bought her home, the DeNova Homes salesperson told her the company was “taking care of the homeless situation and they would not be there.” "I don't mind that they're here, but I want them gone and moved here on the promise they would be gone. So they should be gone. But again they actually don't bother me, honest." Also like how there's two paragraphs in there where the author actually interviews a single homeless person living in the encampment and gives some context about how loving hopeless of a situation it is to be homeless, but instead of doing anything with that just immediately pivots back to the homeowner complaints with virtually no actual transition. Gotta appear fair and balanced I guess.

So I got some good news yesterday. The park in Westchester I do outreach in was going to get swept on Monday and we were able to get it canceled! Mike Bonin's office has agreed to work with Street Watch again to create a cleaning system that doesn't gently caress over the unhoused living in the park! His office worked with one of our members in Venice on a new cleaning pilot program, the radical concept of just asking unhoused people what they want thrown away and then throwing that stuff away. Its a pretty small political victory, but I will be real I don't get many victories so I am happy. Next step will be trying to get the showers at the park made available.

Californians registered as Democrats, please vote for your local slate of progressive delegates in the upcoming ADEM elections. You have to register by MONDAY to receive a ballot: https://twitter.com/alfred_twu/status/1348017879870967808 This is important because the delegates vote on the state platform and choose which officials are endorsed by the state party, among other things. As one example of what is at stake, progressives were able to block the state party from endorsing Feinstein in her last election.

loving Patrick Bateman wannabe piece of trash. Too bad he probably takes pretty good care of himself. DO MORE COKE, GAVIN! https://twitter.com/NBCLA/status/1348359224674365447 quote:He specifically praised AirBnb, which held an initial public offering last month, DoorDash and Salesforce. After Musk announced he was moving out of California, AirBnb head Brian Chesky said he and his company would stay in California. The company’s IPO raised $3.5 billion and boosted Chesky’s net worth.

JesusIsTehCool posted:Yea I have to agree. So much of California is hosed up because most peoples wealth is tied up in their homes. People think if you let someone build high density housing in their neighborhood it will lower their property value and you will ruin their retirement. That being said the zoning bull poo poo is just a manifestation of the problems with capitalism, like people wouldn't vote this way if the economic system didn't give them huge personal incentives to do so. There actually are a ton of abandoned buildings all over the place, in LA I can think of a bunch of dead/dying malls, giant ex-aerospace office spaces, old unused hospitals, and at least one very large building in San Pedro which used to house disable people but got bought and closed by a speculator. Unhoused disabled people now sleep on the sidewalk in front of it. I don't want to go down a libertarian rabbit hole but it's not just a problem with capitalism, it's also a problem with government. The zoning rules are created and enforced by the government. Are there special interests to make the government do it? Yes. These people in Los Angeles that own multi-family units that are 50+ years old have a financial interest to make sure that today's zoning of low density, high marketing requirements stay in place. Essentially it ensures that no other inventory can go on market that has more income potential from a dollar per square foot metric. Even if you own a building that is 50+ years old and out of sync with today's zoning, you have the right to rebuild the building as it was if it burned down. The laws in place have set up a scenario where the highest income potential is trading old inventory and not to build new. The only time new inventory gets build is when government steps in and essentially gives concessions. Meanwhile in Japan, inventory loses value as it gets older because they are continually building new inventory. The whole situation is hosed up.

The zoning rules are created and enforced by the government. Are there special interests to make the government do it? Yes. Problems with government ARE problems with capitalism. The means of production and exchange form the base upon which the laws are made. The wealthy are best served by the existing laws, that's why they are the existing laws, they then ensure that existing laws remain in place and make minor concessions to allow some single-family homeowners to profit as well, but at a lower rate to make fights to change the laws harder. In Japan, income inequality is much lower and high estate taxes do a lot to prevent generational wealth from building up, so the middle class has enough money to be powerful enough to influence the laws such that they benefit themselves. You can't properly address problems with laws without addressing the problems that exist to enshrine those laws in the first place.

I dunno, but I'm worried that people like Kevin Kiley are mini trumps. He's just hammering Newsom repeatedly for everything. First its that schools were closed, now its that they aren't opening correctly. His rhetoric is just attacking Newsom and all the comments on his posts are by insane people. GOP is playing with fire across the board.

Gavin would actually have to lose a recall election and I just don't see that happening. Yeah he's flubbed COVID pretty badly but the political climate in the state is massively different than it was in 2003 and I just don't see a majority voting to kick him out. We're talking about a guy who won the governorship with 61.9% of the vote vs Cox.

It's really something to see how the initial Covid response was measured and effective and how easily it toppled when a bunch of moron Republicans turned it into a culture war thing. Yeah he deserves poo poo for the premature opening but with the Feds abandoning us, what was there?
