    The hate for Tumps press secretaries never made sense to me. Like they really expect the person who's job is to be a mouth piece for the administration to go out and not lie to them?

    Yes? Their job is to inform the public. I hate using the Nazi thing, but that is just like saying not all Nazi's are bad because they were just following orders...

    At least these people had a choice in taking the job, knowing what they were going to have to do.

    Uh, their job isn't to lie to the country. Shitty take.

    I mean no one's forcing them to work for an admin that makes them lie. More then a few left - though not for that exact reason, granted.

    This is a crisis that reveals California’s conservatism — not the political conservatism that privatizes Medicare, but the temperamental conservatism that stands athwart change and yells “Stop!” In much of San Francisco, you can’t walk 20 feet without seeing a multicolored sign declaring that Black lives matter, kindness is everything and no human being is illegal. Those signs sit in yards zoned for single families, in communities that organize against efforts to add the new homes that would bring those values closer to reality. Poorer families — disproportionately nonwhite and immigrant — are pushed into long commutes, overcrowded housing and homelessness. Those inequalities have turned deadly during the pandemic.
    This hits hard, you can't call yourself a Liberal or environmental advocate and also eschew these policies.

    They tell themselves that housing developers are rich evil people who destroy POC communities with gentrification, and that's how they maintain the contradiction.

    Having kept up with the LA subreddit, NYT has been putting out a lot of CA/LA poh-poh articles the past week.

    Ahh yes, it's Joe Biden's fault a dumbshit company with crap security decided to shut down a pipeline because the ransomware attack hit their billing systems and they were afraid of underbilling customers.
