Hmmm, makes me think of that one Greenday song 🤔

I would be happy if all tech left the city. It used to be a hipster village of social non challants and detected alternative social movements. A shining, hairy, culty, body odor having, punk rock city on a hill.

The tech takeover ruined the city and contributed directly to the epidemic levels of homelessness seen because it made the city effectively so expensive non millionaires can't survive there. Most long time san Francisco families ended up moving out.

Take all the rest of tech with you please Mr. Musk. Make San Francisco an affordable city again.

It's too late, the landleeches have already taken over. Any city remotely worth living in is too expensive to live in, and will remain that way until we eliminate the landleech class.

Although i hate hearing about him, i do like seeing his face and body rapidly deteriorating.

It's not deteriorating, it's just entering its final cybertruck form

And that's after he spends a ton of money to get it fixed. If he weren't rich, he'd be bald by now, for example.

Ya, he identifies as a non-bald man. He had gender affirming care to make sure his hair is there and full.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Well, he doesn't need a many as he used to...

Going from an apartment to a big house with a pool will change a few minds.

sounds like obesity and depression to me

Does sf also have power issues?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

The rich engineers weren’t the demographic affected by the “rolling” brownouts. The people in McMansions had power the entire time, while the people in apartments were shitting in grocery bags because their toilets had frozen solid from lack of power for heating.

The “rolling” brownouts were really just rolling around the same poor areas.

Oh I see thanks for info.
Makes more sense that GOP didn't care.

Don't be Texas, don't be Texas....

* checks Google *

FUCK!

[–] [email protected] 50 points 2 months ago

it literally could not be anywhere else. Texas is a safe-space for oligarchs and bigots. That's why Elon and Joe Rogan and all these other asshats left CA for TX.

Weeps in despair in South Carolina

Young people need to register and vote. If they did, SC would be blue reliably.

All but 2 states honestly.....

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I agree. I just have no idea how to motivate folks to do that. Hence the despair.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

This might not be the answer, but it is important. This is one of the last videos Beau did before he retired and his wife is taking over. It is still one of my favorite channels, but keep this in mind especially for the next several months, and beyond if things don't go our way.

Let's talk about maintaining hope...
