That gets dangerously close to mentioning China invading Vietnam, which is important to ignore

True though sometimes I think Long Island is considered rural enough for political punditry

Nothing but respect for true American rural areas (Inland Empire)

Tho what you're saying probably does legit hold for majority white areas as well.

Cosmopolitanism != elitism. The multiracial working class even in rural and suburban areas loves anime, Kpop, Mexican and Chinese food, cheap online shopping, Mexican beer, rap - and the America First will make everyone's lives worse in mundane ways because they don't get this.

The change in CS from 1975 to 2000 was just so much greater than 2000 to 2025. Maybe AI will mix stuff up, but so far not.

Imo Nursing programs incorporating on-the-job training into core curriculum is something CS could learn from.

yeah this plus historical contingency of CS coming out of universities rather than industry. Took IBM a while to figure out that programming was something valuable and not just a way to ship hardware lol.

I get what your saying but it's honestly kinda weird we teach programming as a BS and not a apprentice program. People don't have this hang up about the most locked down major, Nursing.

Bradbury thinking he wrote a book about how TV culture would destroy reading, rather than about censorship per se, has only seem more relevant recently 😅😭

I do think old books are good to read precisely bc you can dig into the era they were written in, like that's the main appeal

the fact that it isn't the govt of redwood city only lends it credibility!

we wouldn't have gerrymandering if he had a consensus commitment to a working civil society lmao. what problem are you trying to solve.

Single member districts are just terrible. At the moment gerrymandering is their biggest problem, but the way they block multiparty systems is also bad.

yeah plenty of examples to chose from that retain idiosyncratic districts 😅 a cool thing about party votes is that then there's no reason to not have actually-good districts, since gerrymandering doesn't really serve anyone

why though, doesn't solve gerrymandering at all

people who want to live in exclusionary neighborhoods but don't have the capital

across a highway, just a mile... literally surrounded by water and in middle of nowhere.

It'd maybe make sense if the bus went on the ferry, or otherwise doing more Key System style quick transfers. The idea appears to be more like 10 people can drive to the marina and take a boat for fun.

I like the Vallejo idea since it'd be so disrespectful to Caltrans improving 37

well, given that Berkeley's ferry terminal is in the middle of nowhere and shouldn't exist...

You can't just send the natl guard to stand around and trigger a protest, has that ever worked

I support billionaires bullying millionaires and commissioning statues of themselves

I bet it'd be more like hosting a party that nobody shows up at.

The govt in question being the Kaiser's makes it more valid in my mind

Well they're doing that and getting eyerolls for their trouble

Headline is some goofy revisionism, Teamsters have always backed candidates they think will win over preferring Democrats or whatever

The bills don't get anywhere tho bc it's a stupid idea and inherently anti-tenant

I mean, they are, bills are proposed along these lines despite there being no interest group for it really. Just legislators reading dumb articles and asking their staff to write a bill.

It's inherently a right wing zero-sum argument and you do see Ben Shapiro types picking it up. The fact that banning REIT from buying sacred SFRs is a stupid policy idea actually does matter.

I guess the whole bit of coast guard bullying Coast guard is to be reckless.

But then Philippines was like "hey do you guys need help? That's what we do, offer help in our territorial waters" lol

This is like putting Microsoft Word in the Spellchecking Division

Redwood 1, Tilden 0

I mean, geography does matter, but a proportional system can do that too
