Speaking for Oakland, CA where I grew up, downtown had always been poor, deserted and dangerous for those overlooking from the hills. When former governor Jerry Brown became mayor in the late 90s he set about to increase population density to attract small businesses. It took well over 10...

I think Breed has clearly stated her case and it's one that doesn't feed the pigeons. She is fully cognizant that this isn't a politic problem but a structural one; some people, with mental and/or substance abuse issues, will fall and the street is where they land. America doesn't have a...

That's because you think our political economic model is best. But I can assure you, now living in undemocratic Singapore, that most here look at America with incomprehension or disdain for its inability to keep its house in order. I'm no fan of Xi and how he made himself emperor, but that's...

Does this mean the FBI of western nations need to track the whereabouts of all hydrogen vehicles like they do for phosphates ? If the Ukrainians can figure out how to make a hydrogen bomb from a car, it means every terrorist organization can do the same.

I don't think "they" need to do anything. Our working class is so intellectually impoverished that anything triggers their anger, hatred and sense of entitlement.

Yes, and it speaks of her loyalty to her party, including the MAGA ulcer. She shoulda, coulda, woulda joined the Never Trumpers and gotten the respect she deserves for her work and for standing up to Trump. How she didn't understand what MAGA is was her downfall.

Again, talking about different things here. I'm all for protecting workers' rights, but I think it's a government's responsibility to spell out and enforce those, not an extra governmental mafia in cahoots with a political party. Businesses ought to be able to run their activities within...

You sure spend an inordinate amount of time following and replying to my posts across ET. You should be thankful for the entertainment.

Vanzandt brought up money, not me. My point was the negative impact unions have on a company's ability to adapt to change.

Lol... You should write a Victor Hugo made in USA novel on the hardships of the $35/hr blue collar worker's life. Reality is he's not sending his kid to college but instead getting him on the gravy at Boeing.
