maybe California should stop throwing tax dollars at a scammer who won't shut up about how much he hates the state, just a thought
"Nevertheless, the reservation of vouchers effectively limited access to funding for other manufacturers with production-ready electric trucks, as HVIP operates on a first-come, first-served basis and funding rounds are typically oversubscribed within days."
Always frustrating.

that's certainly what it brings to mind
The largest federal prison in the nation is Fort Dix, which has a rated capacity of 4,600 people. The largest of these warehouse camps may hold more than twice that number of people.
The federal government hasn't operated a prison camp inside the United States that large since Japanese Internment.

Bad Bunny’s performance began in the plantation, featured broken electric poles, and ended by centering a hemispheric understanding of “América”—among many other things—and some Anglo journalists are like “his performance wasn’t political.”
This is why we need to be telling our stories.

Very annoyed at the people who decided to open the floodgates to online sports betting, it is absolutely a scourge. Great piece from Gabrielle Gurley on people spending hours a day on these predatory apps.
The Scourge of Online Sports Betting - The American Prospect
States and leagues must face up to the damage from app-based gambling for the next generation of bettors, most of them young men.

side comment but left-liberals (american liberalism) dont fight that much? they fight with leftists, sure, and with moderates but where’s all the intraliberal bickering?

puerto rico should become a state because they’d probably be a swing vote in the EC and the feds would shower them in appropriations
I really genuinely want to know what PR independence people think would ensure a higher quality of living without statehood because a lot of people who don't live on the island seem convinced the American boot is all that stands in the way of sovereign prosperity and it sounds like bullshit.

the demographics for buyers of modest new homes in second tier neighborhoods in the bay have gone from “dual income corporate gig at a top firm” to “dual income partners in big law/mbb/ib/vc/pe” and i think thats probably not great idk
