    Presidential Elections

    I don't even care if he ever concedes...I just want him to put country before himself first.  Refusing to allow his subordinates to prepare for a potential transfer of power is ridiculous and anti-American. https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/17/politics/trump-biden-natsec-transition-fires/index.html

    Presidential Elections

    Agreed but no evidence has been provided despite multiple lawsuits. Also...Trump's refusal to engage in a transfer of power is both dangerous to our political system and harmful on multiple front.  Peaceful transition is a real thing that many democracy strive to attain...it's not just a...

    Back to the Blue Wave/Red Wave issue...this is the stuff I am talking about https://www.facingsouth.org/2020/11/north-carolina-election-results-show-persistence-partisan-gerrymandering And the minority vote also has a rural/urban divide:  More progressive minorities generally move away from...

    Amazon Fresh grocery store opens at Irvine Market Place

    Except grocery sales are extremely thin margins and there are already online prescription drugs outlets. My guess is that Amazon thinks that it can streamline the process and reduce cost to increase the margins but not sure it works that way.  Maybe but we shall see. in reality...it's all...

    Sure...let's go full Bioshock!  Laws and regulations are for suckers!  Drunk driving?  Who cares?  Food safety law?  Risks!

    coronavirus

    I guess those people who got it and died or have long term issues should just be ignored.  I mean countries like SK, Taiwan, Australia, Singapore, HK, and NZ are stupid for trying to contain the disease.

    Presidential Elections

    No all Reds are supporters of Trump but enough Reds in power condone and support what Trump is doing.  Blue actually call each other out...Reds don't.  I would argue that most extremists personalize the conflict...there is a "less for me" attitude in which the lower and middle classes are...

    Weird that you ignore all the other studies that show that masks work both ways. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/more/masking-science-sars-cov2.html https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2772459?resultClick=1

    coronavirus

    leaders as in number of infection or relative to population?  Like the 34 states with mandates are doing worse than the 16 who don't? https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/masks-bring-help-bring-down-covid-19-cases-governors-state-n1240448

    Presidential Elections

    Yup...and why I am always amazed that people claim that state and local governments are for the people...no...state and local governments are for some of the people and much more like to be corrupted than the federal government.

    Presidential Elections

    That's a perfectly fine position to take as long as we unwrap the "freedom" and "American flag/patriotism" wrappings that most conservatives hide behind.  If self-preservation and profit are the ultimate measure...you should be all for China and Russia.

    Amazon Fresh grocery store opens at Irvine Market Place

    There is definitely an ecosystem motive at play...Amazon just got into the drug store business as well.  I question its effectiveness...I think the grocery play is weird. Amazon's base business also starting to lose its luster...Walmart, Target, and Best Buys are all chipping at the...

    Presidential Elections

    We should always be questioning potential issues but this is not a questioning...this is a conclusion looking for evidence.  Trump supporters start with the premise that the only way for Trump to lose is fraud and therefore there must be fraud.  It's basically how things like flat-earthers...

    Someone has to pay the $20K a day that Rudy is demanding...someone who has not appeared in a federal court since 1992 and couldn't distinguish between strict scrutiny and rational basis.

    Presidential Elections

    I'm am optimist so I think there is light there...California went through a similar path in the late 1980s and 1990s...while the rhetoric from the top was not as virtrol...the messaging was the same:  Nativism and attacks on minorities...it took time to move away from that and California is...

    Presidential Elections

    It's not a red wave...it's a rebalancing from 2018 and a win for geography.  The trend line is there...population is turning purple and blue.  You understand that the fact that we are talking about elections in OC, SD, and Central Valley is pretty crazy.  Those who are running GOP in...

    Presidential Elections

    Can't have middle ground if one sides keeps moving the ground and dismissing facts...things like COVID is bad, climate change is here, and systematic racism exists.  You cannot have a dialogue about solutions if you don't agree on whether there is a problem or what that problem is.

    Presidential Elections

    No..this is like saying that we should end lawsuits and go back to dueling on the streets.  There is neither a bag nor a cat...just figments of a dying majority trying to stay in power.
