Sydin posted:If Gavin had tried to deploy the National Guard to enforce COVID protocols Trump absolutely would have just made up a pretext to federalize it and then told them to stay put because he's a spiteful, vindictive dipshit who went out of his way to gently caress over blue states any way he could during the COVID pandemic. Hell even if he didn't we would have quickly run into the snag that while the National Guard is usually federally funded, the state is on the hook for the cost of any mobilization activity that takes place for response purposes within that state, directed by the state government. Gavin couldn't have just mobilized the NG for months on end to enforce COVID protocol and then handed Trump the bill. So here's another angle for technically possible but politically infeasible ideas: The California Highway Patrol should be under control of the Governor through CALSTA, and could be given a wide range of orders (if worded properly) via executive order. Based off the FBI UCR report for 2019 there's roughly ~7000 CHP officers, and the rest are support personnel. They have jurisdiction over not just CA Highways but also city roads and are able to conduct general law enforcement duties in both of these areas. Pretextual Stops (i.e. stopping for a theoretical traffic violation that may have occurred as a pretext for doing an investigation of another violation/crime) are often used (and abused) by LEOs, especially since Whren v United States afaik. What could the Governor do then with 7000 agents of the state that can basically stop anyone at any time on any city road or highway to conduct an investigation? Taking ideas. Not saying utilizing them as COVID enforcement would be politically feasible by any standard (or that even this would be a good idea), but I am trying to say that the Governor does have levers of power. I could actually imagine a scenario where a different governor may have utilized them in a "soft" capacity for emergency executive order enforcement.

They changed a bunch of poo poo in the early 90s and again after 9/11 so there is federal control over the NG. Yay! Plus if you do time as a state activated resource you don't get veterans benefits. Ask me how I know that one

"WHAT WILL BIDEN DO IN THE NEXT 100 DAYS HE'S ALREADY FAILED!" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_stations_owned_or_operated_by_Sinclair_Broadcast_Group I usually watch Fox 40 or kcra 3 for local news here. It's nothing like national fox. Both have kinda shy'd away from reporting on BLM and usually report by using broad terms "protestors gathered at the Capitol today and we're met by police" Local news is honestly REALLY BAD here. A few months back they gave a UFO-ologist a 10 minute slot to talk about the shocking new evidence released! Sac Bee recently got bought out. It's become pretty click baity and hidden behind paywalls. Local television news usually just brushes the surface of political things. I've never seen them go deep on a topic, even local ones. Sacramento News and Review is really good, but it's very small. It's almost mostly focused on culture. If you are looking for protest coverage, send me a PM and I can link you to some activist social media accounts that have been covering things well.

I do usually watch KCRA 3 and they covered it with the 30 seconds it deserved, I just thought it was hmmmm interesting that 13 was going so long with it. If you want to see a full dose of Sinclair madness go down to Fresno and check out Fox 26, you will get various "Sinclair TERRORISM, IMMIGRATION MURDERERS, SOCIALISM DEMS! desks" along with interviews with well reasoned intelligentsia such as Devin Nunes or McCarthy, lol. Then they close with some drooling rant by Boris Epshtyn or some other ghoul to close it out.

I have a friend who's immunocompromised and is doing grocery delivery to avoid human interaction(in CA area, San Diego to be specific). They still want to be as ethical as possible within the constraints. Is there any grocery delivery service that's less bad than the others, or at least treats employees better, or are they all the same degree of poo poo?

A lot of older folks were doing that according to my mother (who is one of said older folks). That might work out for your friend, since they wouldn't need to leave the vehicle.

I don't have any vetted tips for SD, but these could be options to explore further based on a quick search Co-op grocery that offers curbside pickup: https://www.obpeoplesfood.coop Possible local delivery service (unclear if they contract out, but seems like maybe not), but with pretty limited stock: https://sandiegofooddelivery.com This seems like more of a national chain and also unclear if they contract out delivery drivers but their FAQ suggests they own their own delivery vans which makes me think perhaps they're actual full time employees? Not sure. https://www.imperfectfoods.com For anyone in the Bay/NorCal, I've been using Good Eggs delivery, which as far as I can tell only uses full-time employees for delivery and does a great job sourcing from local farms/producers. It's bougie AF and expensive to be fair. https://www.goodeggs.com/sfbay/home

I'm on the ninth floor and less than two miles from the Pacific for the full onshore breeze effect. It took me ten years to get used to the swaying, it's like a low-pass filter for my inner ear. I don't feel it at all unless a sudden gust hits. The real downside is the lag time from the end of an earthquake that I notice (less than about 4.0 doesn't register anymore) until the building settles down. The adrenaline guarantees you'll notice that.

This seems apropos to the delivery recommendations: https://www.vice.com/amp/en/article/7k9deg/instacart-says-it-will-lay-off-all-of-its-unionized-workersquote:Instacart did not respond to a question about how many workers would be terminated, but has said that it will help laid off workers transition into new roles at other grocery stores—or into gig worker positions at Instacart, and provide severance packages to all laid off workers depending on their tenure. By laying off in-store shoppers who are employees who are eligible to unionize and transitioning them into non-union eligible gig workers roles, Instacart is also making it more difficult for its workforce to unionize.

A short dress, but with long sleeves, and printed to look like a bathing suit. to be fair, I think it was a replica of the actual bathing suits that would get rented out to Sutro Baths patrons in the late 1800s/early 1900s. The baths could accommodate up to 10,000 people at a time! pretty crazy. I try to avoid any wistful romanticizing of old tycoons, but it does seem like Sutro was about as progressive as they come, or at least genuinely interested in civic service. that said I haven't really read his history too closely at all so i'm sure he was also a monster in plenty of ways but yeah, also gently caress feinstein

My Youtube feed is infested with "Why I'm leaving California!" videos due to going down the financial Youtube rabbit hole. What's the coverage like in California over people moving out? And are the people leaving more likely to be voting Red or Blue? Something tells me it's the former.
