In Southern California. Reply more than I post. 1/2 serious posts. 1/2 jokes. On the left, but probably either more left or not as left as you want. Utopia is for everyone's needs to be met sustainably. Pic is unfairly maligned California delta smelt.

so there will be no useful war coverage coming out of U.S. MSM. Ok, all true info on the war will come from elsewhere. US MSM will just get the blabbering idiocy of things that aren't even worthy of being called lies, that is Trump's stream of consciousness.

well that oil was going to get burned one way or other. But this time nothing temporarily useful even came out of it.

well LA has also had a record warm winter (though on the east coast, that probably blurs into the general perception of LA as never being cold). But it was really abnormal, it wasn't just winters getting slowly warmer, but this winter being an extreme anomaly.

it was so unnecessary, CA high speed rails problems, and it has been in development 18 years now with only a small section from Merced to Bakersfield to show for it, were not really impacted by him either way.

less than 2% chance of a deadly outcome if true, seems a very high % to me.

having experienced both direct democracy & recall, and having HATED both in California, I still think federal recall might be reasonable, ideally just for emergency situations like the present regime. It would be abused of course and used excessively, but this mad king and his suckups is DIRE.

states have direct democracy, as a Californian, be careful what you wish for is all I have to say. The propositions are a dumpster fire. Yes the present situation also sucks.

there should be a limit to how much wealth anyone can have. But noone knows exactly where it should be, 20 million maybe? It's well below a billion, but you can't just say millionaires as that's just homeowners.

oh for sure he's highly educated, but that's fine if you are a man I guess. But it becomes a problem if women get an education.

bet he's highly educated (stupid perhaps, it's not like education prevents that, but I bet he has the education)

I'd have to ask my partner who regularly attended gnostic services growing up, because I wouldn't have a clue.

I didn't know much is probably pretty true

there's the business cycle, you aren't escaping that in capitalism. But there is a Fed that has gotten increasingly good at mitigating it. But mitigating it with inflation rather than recession leads to people voting for fascists. And then they start war with Iran, and you get your recession alright

yes it's not accurate, I mean it may be for that one station but that's all.

if the actual leaders of their church tell them to vote otherwise (assuming they go to church, I guess some self-identified christian Republicans don't), they aren't going to listen to a politician no matter how much Jesus is in it.

problem was even if their messaging was fantastic, voters are often just stupid, they aren't paying attention to the news or the politicians. All they know is price at the pump.

true but it's because of the extremely high oil use in the U.S.. Almost every other country would be perfectly find on 13 million, including the EU. China somewhat exceeds it but not as much as the U.S. It's all a global market, but just pointing out how stupid the U.S. is in every possible way.

this gets the women's vote, the problem is men, who don't really do caretaking, it almost always falls on women, also get a vote.

I know. I like vegetables though. Food tastes good. If there is something I do hate, turnips or radishes or liver let's say, I just don't eat it. Noone ever died from a turnip deficiency.
