Major school district on brink of collapse as staff get staggering pay packets: 'Absolute havoc' trib.al/kb3Jy7h

The LADWP agenda for Tuesday 3/24 lists this gem - a resolution honoring the service of Janisse Quinones. $750K salary to burn down a whole town, and an award on your way out the door. Wow.

In 1931, Otto Warburg won the Nobel Prize. Cancer cells run on glucose. They cannot use ketones. 95 years later, hospitals serve pancakes to chemo patients. This is not ignorance. This is policy.

You may not agree with Professor Jiang. But this particular take is absolutely right, even for those who support the US. THE single biggest hurdle for the US to reindustrialize is the US dollar hegemony, which necessitates the US to be a net-importer, running a trade deficit to provide the world a steady supply of US dollar. If the US gives up on its hegemonic status, they can ease back from the role of the sole global reserve currency. After which they can reindustrialize and move away from the addiction for over-financialized fictitious economy. The biggest winners in that case will be the working class Americans, while the Banking cartels on Wall Street and the elites will suffer. Through their control of the media and politicians, the elites are able to brainwash Americans into advocating against their own interests. Waking up is the first step.

I asked claude to estimate the prices of things based on his data from 2023/2024 and then check the actual price, and show me a graph of the difference 3% inflation my ass. 70% in 2 years

Marines don't need to die to cover this up

50 times as many NIMBYs have written letters to urge the council to adopt the worst SB 79 option than YIMBYs have written to support the good options. IF YOU LIVE IN LA... SPEND 2 MINUTES AND DO THIS RIGHT NOW secure.everyaction.com/eTBylMIrOEyeq7…

🦔 NV Energy is cutting off power to Lake Tahoe's Liberty Utilities by May 2027, leaving 49,000 customers without 75% of their electricity supply. NV Energy said it can't continue the contract because of its "own resource needs." At a business event last September, an NV Energy executive said data centers have driven requests to triple the company's peak capacity, calling it "unprecedented times" and adding that they're "excited to serve this load" but "cannot impact our existing customer base." Liberty Utilities now has about a year to find replacement power, likely from sources outside California since it's not physically connected to California's energy market. My Take A utility is telling 49,000 residential customers to find electricity elsewhere because data centers need the capacity. That's the tradeoff being made explicit. NV Energy didn't frame it that way, but when your executive says data center requests would triple peak capacity and then you cut off a decades-long customer to meet your "own resource needs," the math is obvious. This is happening while AI companies burn through electricity at rates that would have seemed absurd five years ago. Jensen wants engineers using $250,000 in tokens per year. OpenAI is building data centers that need their own power plants. And now a ski town is being told to find power somewhere else because the grid can't serve both them and the machines. The NV Energy executive said they can't impact their existing customer base, but Liberty's customers are their existing customer base. They just decided which customers matter more. Hedgie🤗

Now I'm not a tech guy but it seems weird that an AI company would need a chemical weapons or high yield explosives expert.

Remember in the late 00s/early 10s when the Top Gear guys would endlessly joke about how the Prius was an unreliable car, reliant on untested technology? I remember.

@alexadoingstuff No

Can LA please please please get our own mamdani

Eric Swallwell has the exact same policy positions as Gavin Newsom, but he's dumber.

Ignorance is bliss couldn't be more apparent at this time in our country. I honestly regret learning about the petrodollar. I regret learning about how literally everything is down stream of cheap and plentiful oil. I try to explain just the 2nd order of effects of what's going on and my own family looks at me like I'm a paranoid schizo. Hand to God. I wish I knew nothing. This is misery.

@tab_delete @Stanford Stupid and entitled. He was an obvious criminal and Stanford is lowering their standards by having them there. They are responsible for his upbringing they should not be responsible for teaching young adults.

.@Stanford law school profs Joseph Bankman and Barbara Fried went on CNN yesterday to defend their son who is in prison for misappropriating funds at FTX. “I think that Sam was the victim of an out of control prosecution and I know that Trump himself feels he was,” Fried said.

The goal here is to create anger in the US. 5,000 Marines slaughtered so Trump can launch a full decade long invasion of Iran. Its a fucking nightmare. I never though ANYONE would be this fucking stupid.

And magically nobody is talking about them anymore. Ted Lieu on camera: "The Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped children." A sitting congressman said this on the record.

@RobertJMolnar Looking for public support for the war?

as I have been saying for 2 weeks.....and in recent days all of the "experts" are saying, this would be the most suicidal military move... 1. Iran is not going to just allow a convoy of MEUs with a few thousand Marines through the straits to get to the island. We are in a war, they will sink them 2. An airborne assault out of Kuwait, or a fucking airborne parachute drop as the other option is ridiculous 3. The island is 15 miles offshore from the mainland...literally in fucking MORTAR range at least.....drones and missiles and artillery will just pound the tiny "excursion" of troops on a tiny island that has no bunkers, no where to hide 4. Zero logistical support for any troops that actually get there What the fuck are we doing?

Eunisses Hernandez trashes law enforcement… until she needs them. Then suddenly it’s fine to spend $134K of your tax dollars on one event. June primary is coming for CD1. Let’s vote this hypocrisy out.
