I think exactly one person got confused by the "sleepy joe" and "train to nowhere" poo poo in the thread and figured that the Feinstein stuff was similarly propaganda. And since the media has been covering the elder abuse going on in the feinstein office, you often don't see reporting about how bad her situation really is. I agree what the staff is doing is gross but the average person isn't aware of it because of the media carrying water.

How exactly does someone set themselves on fire AND hang themselves at the same time? Which makes everyone think the LAPD did it. https://twitter.com/AdamOfTheSmiths/status/1557431151102373890

Maybe you missed the several times where I said I believe she is cognitively compromised. I just don’t think this particular anecdote is evidence of it.

Nah. The least bad candidate was the one who thought the most criminal cops should maybe face consequences. But Villanueva is not even close to the least worst

It would be funny to run for sheriff and run a bunch of those tough on crime ads but never specify which crimes I plan to fight. And then like, spend the entire term investigating seized security deposits as grand theft the other option is to just literally be Walking Tall and fire all the deputies and do nothing all day

If Alex Villenueva did everything he does now, but he did it in Kandahar Province instead of L.A. County, we would call him a warlord. He's a largely unaccountable political leader who uses a heavily-armed militia to extract money from individuals and governing bodies in a certain region. It's crazy that this is considered normal.

I don't follow LA politics closely, but apparently Villanueva ran on a platform of reform. To some Democrats and progressives he seemed like the "least bad" candidate. Maybe focusing on who would be the least bad wannabe warlord isn't the solution as much as changing the whole system from the ground up.

so our state employee union just wrapped up negotiations for the next three-year agreement main concerns by members going into negotiations: overwhelmingly for restoring telework access, followed by salary raises/inflation see, earlier this year after the state of the union and their "return to office" bullshit talking point, the state administration decided to force everyone back into the office during a pandemic, for extremely poorly-explained reasons after two years of full telework no problems. our district's chief decided that everyone would be going back for two days a week, at least when the building isn't being shut down by the county for exploding the local pandemic cases (of course they're playing games with that too to stay open longer). the official reason is "knowledge sharing" btw, a thing that definitely cannot be accomplished via the internet. here's some commentary on it if you'd like to read more about the nonsense they're pulling anyway, here's what our bargaining unit brought back to us: quote:The Team proposed to greatly increase the availability of telework, including full-time telework, for our employees. The Team also proposed to expand the ability of our employees to utilize alternative work schedules. The State rejected both proposals. Citing “management rights” and the “operational needs” of the State to establish telework and alternative work schedules within departments, the State made clear that they were not giving up authority over these items to our employees. lol. annual raises are 3% this year and 2% next year, no inflation adjustment whatsoever. we were asking for 10%

Young and old being relative. What was pecgs demand for telework? It sucks being at the whim of the telework lottery (although my office is basically "see you never") but I'm not sure how an agreement wouldn't result in pecg having to micromanage each office/job.
