That is an insane amount of gun related crime even for a major city. If I was a resident of Chicago I would be begging for the national guard to come help. Chicago is starting to make Mexico look like Irvine.

Which I’ve never understood as those are significant expenditures for most households.

Militarized has a bad connotation. Think of it as cops with really big guns. Every time I go to Asia and to a slightly lesser extent Europe, there is a certain peace of mind that I won’t be randomly shot. I generally feel safe here in OC in the areas that I’m usually in but it would be nice to...

Completely agree. They should send military assistance to every crime ridden city in the US.

Zovall - Congrats on the weight loss and improvement on your A1C and cholesterol! When I was in 20s and 30s all of these health issues seem so far away, also had that “it won’t happen to me” mentality. Now I wish I took better care of myself back then. At least now I use myself as an example...

Glad I could help :-) Doctors tend to be more reactive than proactive. That is why I asked to get on the cholesterol meds, why continue doing more damage with cholesterol in the low 200s? How are you liking zepbound? Have you lost weight? Did your A1C improve? Sounds like it’s going well for...

I think the point morekaos is trying to make is that California could be great in all aspects, not just weather/location. If California took a more moderate approach to taxes and operating business environment it would be in a much better place - kind of like a business that maintains lower...

I would pay money to watch a Stephen A vs Trump debate. That would be hilarous.

I don’t know which side of the government is lying, probably both. All it tells me is how sad things have gotten in this country when you can’t trust either side. Perhaps it has always been this way and now I’m just old enough to realize it

Well in theory this great. But the practical reality is that we can not have living wages and cheap things. You can only charge so much for certain products. Everyone needs a return on their capital and if that return isn’t there they will shut down. Right now the risk free rate on a 10year...

That works too

They should build a city out in central California away from everyone - just for the homeless. You can stay permanently or you can get some sort of trade training and try to improve your life. But you don’t get to be homeless and mess with everyone’s neighborhood and safety. Homelessness is...

Looks like Shake Shack opened up today at the market place

If you were to get audited and they asked you what the business reason was for the change you better have a good answer or they can go after you for aiding in tax evasion. Companies can generally come up with a decent enough explanation where if they disagree they just ask for the taxes that...

You can designate yourself however you want but the risk comes if you get audited by the CA FTB or IRS. Then you better hope you can claim ignorance vs tax evasion You can get ahead of it by making a donation to Trump to have your pardon ready :-)

I saw a car chase last week on KCAL and some car went straight at a dead end street and hit the wall/bushes. On the other side of the wall was a blue Tesla. Probably some cosmetic damage to the car. But one of the first things I thought of was that was exactly why I would never live at a house...

Ended up going, took about 7 minutes to get in the store. The hot food section looks good. We got some food but have not eaten it yet. It is all priced by the pound 10.99 per pound. They have wagyu sliders, which I was pleasantly surprised by. In Japan this summer I kept eating the frozen grape...

Forgot to respond to this previously. An owner of a company will in all likelihood be considered an exempt employee. Not sure what your company is structured as (s corp, c corp, llc, etc) but if you own 20% or more of the business and you work in the business you will generally be an exempt...

The good deals are pretty much on EVs on leasehackr. Then you see some good deals on cars nobody wants (jeeps, etc). I used to lease BMWs pre-covid, but the last two we bought. For owing to reallly payoff you need to own the car for about 7 years and then sell it to get around 20k back to...

Parking isn’t great there, assuming this store will make it worse. But god to have one nearby vs having to go to Costa Mesa
