Just drove around the bay (Concord to Atherton, Santa Cruz to San Jose, and then back to SF before going back home). There was a lot of trump flags and supporters on bridges and vehicles driving around. There’s a lot of Trump supporters even in Progressive Bay Area regions. Lots of tech bros now are big Trump supporters. That said, the west coast has far, far less than other regions.

I think the audio detail was so high because it helped to sell the realism of the game. Go back and play those early games and they don’t look nearly as good as my brain remembers, but the audio helped to fill in the lack of gravel looking texture and leaves tussling sounds in bushes that had two twigs on them.

Big mama…

It was free. It’s a marketing stunt. People were selected to put their resume on a box and say which offices they wanted it to go to. Pizza Hut then sent them free pizza with the resume on it. It’s all in the article.

Low income is also better in uncertain budget times as Title 1 funds make sure they have both fed and state funds. Here in Cali our property taxes mean that the schools in poor areas are the most well funded and the schools in rich older areas are the least well funded. Just with variations on what “rich” means here too.

If you have a state pension system too don’t forget to look into how that works for your district. There are some in my area that actually don’t pay the full percentage so teachers have a worse retirement than if they went to a different district with slightly less pay. So it’s all about the long game.

Then your union is negotiating it if they’re of any value. All the teachers unions around me negotiated 14-25% raises over 3 years over the last few years. If you’re a younger teacher you should look to job hop though. If you’re tenured you’re sorta stuck. In my area there’s three districts of the like 40~ I always push people that are new to end up in as once tenured in them you’ll earn well over 6 figures, even at the elementary level.

In San Jose that’s not even bedroom rental territory, but in Fresno that’s a decent apartment and in Redding that’s a small house you’d be able to get. It’s not great, but Cali also has a super diverse background of where minimum wage goes farther. What’s ironic is the people in the areas that benefit more from this (Redding and other more rural areas) will likely vote against it.
