Yes. When you hear memes on the internet, you accept there is some artistic license taken to exaggerate things to make a point.

There is literately no exaggeration about LA and SF. Every bad thing is true and in some cases even understated.

I don't get it. That's the least arousing pose from the least arousing angle. I don't feel the least amount of arousal, only disgust, like I wouldn't be aroused by a homeless man jerking in the corner.

No. Power is concentrated in LA and SF. You have to understand that the cities being shitholes is a DRAW for all the worst scum. Rather than normalizing, the cities have gotten more and more radical. The people who want to live there see all the homeless, the shit and drugs on the streets as a POSITIVE, which creates a feedback loop, driving sane people out and garbage in. CA won't change until it completely collapses.

I really hope there are plans to expand the .win platform. I think this is the best shot at taking down big tech

Silicon valley is a literal dystopia. You see billboards advertising startups no ones every heard of. Everything you interact with has to do with some new tech. At the same time, you see shit on the streets, hobos everywhere doing drugs and being aggressive, and broken car glass on every street.

There's more trump signs and support because a majority of the land area support trump. The problem is that a significant population lives in la and sf where they welcome shit on the streets and needles in the gutters. Some even see it as virtuous. The problem is that it's a positive feedback loop, where shitty situation attracts shitty people who in turn vote to make it worse, driving all the sane people away.

Theres no hope for the state. I recently decided to move to nevada or texas. Despite there being some nice suburbs, power is concentrated around SF and LA. People living in cities are either rich enough to not care about good governance, or too poor that they need handouts to survive. The democratic machine in the state is too strong and will pull whatever shit they need to. We lost a lot of seats last election due to ballot harvesting. Governors can waste billions on high speed railways and stupid regulations banning everything only to never feel the effects of their legislation while their more radical successor takes office. I hoped things would get better, that having literal shit on the streets would be a wakeup call, but I realized that the people who are willing to live in the cities don't care. The only way that CA turns now is if it completely implodes. Moving out and taking my tax payments with me is more helpful than anything I can by staying.

Futures lately have no indication of actual market performance. Futures dipped when trump got sick, but recovered instantly when the market opened. A few weak hands sold. Market stayed steady entirety of last week there's little price difference between Monday and Friday.

Stocks didn't dip when he contracted covid. There's no dip to recover from. Stimulus package is going to be a much bigger factor. Covid recovery is already priced in and noone cares about it anymore.

PGE is a mess of corruption, debt, bankruptcy and bailouts. Utilities are too big and well connected to ever have their monopolies threatened.

PGE only handles norcal. Socal has Edison and they handled the weekend mostly fine.

Since the kung flu, I've been seeing a lot of pretty obvious CCP agents parroting china talking points while shitting on trump and USA. They are really easy to pick out because they take the most insane positions and always have similar broken english.
