  1. My theory is this tax is not to raise money. It is to disincentivise residents from moving away and taking their taxable incomes with them.
    218
  2. San Francisco has been a one party county since 1980. Liberals need to blame themselves for their own failed policies.
    180
  3. Why is Sean, a real estate guy, doing better investigative reporting than mainstream media!?
    157
  4. And people wonder why nobody wants to use public transit in America. You do not see this in Japan.
    143
  5. Why is Wheeler pepper spraying a mostly peaceful protester?
    139
  6. Makes sense. Just like insurance stopped covering CA for earthquake damage, why would anyone insure Portland businesses for riot damage. It is not if, but when these events occur.
    138
  7. The poverty defense is an insult to the 99.98% of people who work, save and follow the law.
    119
  8. And this, boys and girls, is why we do not want liberal city politics applied to every county or across every state without considering their local situations.
    116
  9. Texas can tell the DOJ to come down to Texas and enforce the courts decision themselves. Texas can ignore the court order just like California ignored the Bruen decision. Protect the border one way or another, Texas!
    95
  10. Liberals in cities have always told conservatives they can leave. This is the best solution.
    95
  11. $600K is still too expensive to live among the drug addicts and crime.
    93
  12. I blame BLM for defunding police, burning neighborhoods and attacking people. Cities are now a third world country.
    91
  13. Remember the criminal has no interest in fighting fair. Therefore law abiding citizens should not hesitate to do the same. Use whatever gun you can get your hands on to defend yourself. Self defense is asymmetric warfare.
    85
  14. The residents of Portland voted for this. Don't regret your decisions now. Portland voters are to blame for this mess.
    84
  15. Shut down all grocery stores in Seattle. Krogers shut down in Long Beach for the exact same law.
    83
  16. If only the people of AZ elected Kari Lake for governor. The National Guard would have secured AZ's border last year.
    82
  17. CVS closed 17 stores the last 2 years in SF for this same reason. It is like criminal coddling is a bad idea.
    80
  18. Offer these people one chance to get off the streets. If they refuse, leave them be. If they freeze, so be it. The 9th circuit has made it clear the homeless can not be removed by law. If they have an issue with their own ruling, the judges can go to Alaska and take them themselves.
    76
  19. That work requirement is a federal law. NYC wants to take their sanctuary status up to level 11 now. This will collapse wages in NYC and will be an economic death sentence for low skilled and entry level workers.
    74
  20. It only takes ONE incident for emergency services to be overwhelmed. No amount of money will help if they can not find bodies to fill the jobs.
    74
  21. If I were the Native American tribes, I would ask Walmart to open stores on tribal land. Then enforce laws to remove the drug addicts and prosecute thieves under federal law. This would be an excellent opportunity to eat Washington state's lunch.
    72
  22. That is one hell of a tax base reset. Think of the homeless industrial complex!
    72
  23. This is tantamount to illegal government seizures. I want to know if these landlords voted Democrat.
    68
  24. What did these liberals think would happen when they tried to bankrupt small business owners? Costs will always go up.
    67
  25. If the federal court blocks homeless sweeps, let the drug addicts camp out in front of the federal courthouse. Let the judiciary go deal with the problem they contributed to.
    64
  26. What exactly are CA taxpayers paying for? Also since police will not respond, what will people use to defend themselves with such restrictive state gun laws?
    63
  27. Yeah. No. Not a chance in hell. Not with rent control, lopsided tenant rights and progressive policies working against landlords. It is committing financial suicide.
    62
  28. Any politican that screamed defund the police and change their mind need to resign first. The voters that elected the clown must also stop voting immediately.
    62
  29. Oakland is a lost cause and even Newsom is quietly conceding.
    62
  30. My 2nd Amendment rights enforce my other rights including ownership of my home.
    62
  31. Harris was the former DA for San Francisco. 78 million voters across America thought they want to implement SF policies nationwide. And conservatives are called the backwards and crazy ones.
    58
  32. Insurance companies need to stop insuring break in compensations for San Francisco, Oakland and Los Angeles. The voters need to experience the consequences of their vote.
    58
  33. I love a feel good story. Nobody in their right mind will let a criminal take their kid. The father did right.
    56
  34. Texas needs to remind those lefty liberals they are refugees, not missionaries. They need to leave their politics at the Texas border.
    55
  35. A wise man once said "everything woke turns to shit".
    55
  36. But that firebomb on his condo was mostly peaceful. So were those 100+ days of seige on the Portland Federal courthouse as he defended the rioters and cut them loose. Yup. Wheeler did nothing that constitutes sedition.
    54
  37. I guess criminals did not get the edict to shelter in place like Seattle's law abiding residents and businesses.
    53
  38. Do it! Close the locations in the areas that voted for politicians that supported BLM and defund the police. Let them experience the consequences of their vote.
    53
  39. This is why these non profits need to be audited regularly.
    50
  40. Giving people free stuff is the root cause of the homeless issue. These people need to stop enabling these leeches.
    48
  41. Just put the homeless in these spaces. SF needs to do more to drive out its remaining corporate tax base. It is the progressive thing to do.
    48
  42. If one party like the owner is telling the cops the lease is fake, then the lease is fake. A contract requires two parties. No new laws are needed. It is a problem of the police to stop siding with criminals. Do you think the police will have any problems arresting squatters if they did this to the Mayor's home?
    48
  43. This story reminds me of the premise of 80's Robocop movies. Before you know it, the private security will be contracted out to Omni Corp.
    48
  44. The CA liberal voters are responsible for the horrors in this state.
    47
  45. If sanctuary states and cities can defy federal immigration laws, then Texas can defy ineffective federal immigration law enforcement.
    43
  46. Just watch the next closest Safeway at 99 Jackson in SF to close. That one is tiny and constantly has homeless and addicts shoplifting on a daily basis.
    43
  47. Just get some social workers on the case. I am sure that will not hurt the criminals feelings.
    42
  48. It only took 40 years for someone in CA to finally call in the National Guard to take care of San Francisco.
    42
  49. SF's tax base is collapsing. This reckoning was about time. The commercial hubs need to be decentralized. Other cities should benefit from people working closer to their homes that are affordable and travel less.
    42
  50. In CA, the senate race has Barbara Lee proposing a $50/hr minimum wage. It is going to get wild if she wins the senate seat.
    42
  51. No good deed goes unpunished. In this case, these other government agencies should be sued for enabling this lifestyle.
    42
  52. Did these business owners vote Democrat? Did they vote for Wheeler? If so, they got exactly what they voted for.
    41
  53. LA's Skid Row had outbreaks of bubonic plague for years due to the homeless camps. Yes, that Black Death.
    40
  54. Ridiculous! Neighborhood data should be on Redfin. I check school rankings, flood zones and crime data when looking at homes. I simply use other sites if the data is not available on Redfin.
    39
  55. Unintended consequences of encouraging criminals to commit crimes.
    39
  56. We have to appreciate the ironies in this case. Blue cities mayors and governors are applauding this 6-3 decision thanks to conservative judges while the three DEI appointees were fuming. Why we got here was because the 9th circus made a terrible ruling in the Idaho case. Years later, the 9th circus issued a memo to their SF employees to work from home because the federal courthouse is unsafe due to all the drug addicts camping outside their front door. At the same time, the blue cities and states use the 9th circus decision as an excuse for not doing their job until the APEC summit proved drug addict removal can magically be done when their Chinese overlord comes for a visit with no negative impact to budgets.
    39
  57. This is the reasonable take. I support the mayor of El Paso. Keep sending them to other sanctuary cities. We need to revisit the whole "count everyone in the census" BS.
    38
  58. Every politician that supported BLM or Defund the Police should have been required to resign. The voters that backed BLM and supported defunding the police must not be allowed to vote for at least 10 years.
    36
  59. So now we have proof chronic homelessness is a lifestyle choice. They do not want to follow the rules. Cut off the government assistance for those that refuse help.
    32
  60. They are asking for forgiveness instead of permission. This is business as usual for SF because playing by the rules means nothing gets done.
    32
  61. It is like those same lunatics that adopted pets at the beginning of the pandemic. Now they are giving them up when they have to go back to work. Damn idiots.
    31
  62. All businesses need to pull out of SF. Insurers need to stop insuring businesses within SF.
    31
  63. Taking people's stuff because you think they are not using it to your standards. Why does this sound like a horrible idea?
    30
  64. Breed needs to lead by example. She needs to be on the streets as part of those reserve cops. In fact, every voter that complained about crime and supported BLM needs to be the first ones called up to deal with the crime. Otherwise, Breed is full of shiet.
    30
  65. Homeless people: Gimme help and stuff! Also Homeless people: I am not following your rules for your help!
    30
  66. On the bright side, this only adds to the justification for the Greater Idaho movement. Let's give Idaho a Pacific coastline!
    30
  67. Move the refinery to Texas and take care of AZ and NV. Let CA reap what CA liberals voted for. Liberal voters will never learn.
    30
  68. F that! The moment the moratorium ends, get the squatters out and rent again. Those tenants who are working with the landlords to pay their rent can stay.
    29
  69. Newsom has said he will not end the covid state of emergency for CA even though businesses can reopen fully in a week. His excuse is to maintain his emergency powers. You bet rent moratoriums will stay in place.
    29
  70. Insurance companies are starting to charge astronomical rates for general business insurance in the blue cities. Businesses might not have a choice to operate in crime prone states very soon.
    29
  71. The solution is the judges STOP releasing criminals, the DA prosecuting and the police arrest criminals!
    29
  72. This is a pay per view freak show. Congratulations, SF voters.
    28
  73. My first question to these business owners is which party did they vote for? If they voted Democrat, let them live with their choices.
    28
  74. They also sometimes burn the whole house down.
    28
  75. The citizens of NY got exactly what they voted for. Why are they surprised of the outcome?
    28
  76. This clusterfuck will get worse. No insurance, no loans. Let's see how this will affect home sales in CA.
    27
  77. Oaklandistan being Oaklandistan.
    27
  78. This is why government needs to focus on doing its core functions. The moment politicians muck with the economy, everything goes to hell in a hand basket.
    27
  79. This is why we shouldn't let urban voters dictate statewide policy. People voting on issues they know nothing about creates more problems.
    26
  80. Politicians keep blaming the rich for not paying their fair share but in reality it really is a spending and mismanagement problem.
    26
  81. This is probably the final nail in the coffin for California. Who in their right mind will pay $1m for a home and you can barely afford the home insurance to satisfy the mortgage terms? That means only cash buyers need apply.
    26
  82. It is amazing how the insurance companies figured out a fire would hit but nobody in the water dept, fire dept, city or state governments figures it out.
    24
  83. Just watch the thieves shift to breaking into Amazon lockers.
    23
  84. If people can not defend themselves using legal firearms, it is effectively a nullification of the 2nd Amendment. Damn right this couple should never have been prosecuted in the beginning.
    23
  85. Las Vegas has superior venue with much less crap.
    23
  86. The federal courthouse employees should not be allowed to work from home. The 9th district Court ruled cities can not remove people sleeping on the streets. They need to experience the consequences of their own rulings.
    22
  87. I have a theory on blue states. Yes, liberals have lots of ideas. In the private sector, 1 in 10 ideas succeed. They are funded by private equity and hedge funds. The other 9 ideas go bankrupt because they run out of their investors' money. The issue is when liberals apply this same principle to government with the ability to tax people like a bottomless pit of money. This explains decades of failure on homelessness and billions spent with no measure of success. There is no method to pull the plug on failures in government policies.
    22
  88. Watching Target telling customers to "hold my Bud Light" is so entertaining.
    22
  89. What O'Leary described us exactly what every homeowner had to go through to buy a home. The buyer and bank go back and forth with comps to come up with a loan amount. The fact that Hockel had to publically reassure investors that the state is only going after Trump is tantamount to admitting this is political persecution by perversing the law to achieve it.
    22
  90. What guy looked at Ladies Night and thought "I want to be be a part of that, too!"? Does someone want to attack Senior Tuesdays? This is why we can not have nice things.
    21
  91. Offer these people one chance to get back into society. They get help if they choose to accept it. If they refuse, cut off homeless services and enforce the law.
    21
  92. The issue is not a lack of public defenders. It is an overabundance of people committing crimes.
    21
  93. I am still trying to wrap my mind on the long term implications of what the endgame will be. These laws will never be rolled back. What is the tipping point when these laws destroy enough rentals? How bad will these cities get economically?
    21
  94. To put the scope of the problem into perspective, San Francisco spent $320m each year with an additional $300m in a account until the court case is resolved. Los Angeles spends $1 billion per year. None of these cities fixed their homeless problem. Stop voting for Democrats! It is not a funding problem. It is a mismanagement and corruption problem.
    21
  95. They can not work but they can get professional licenses!? Inslee is insane!
    21
  96. 50.5% of voters in SF elected Chesa Boudin, a criminal sympathizer. They got exactly what they asked for.
    20
  97. You should watch the press conference for the mayor of SF and police chief claiming crime is going down in SF and arrests are being made. Then the police chief throws the DA under the bus in the most subtle way. These Democrats are outright liars.
    20
  98. These clowns should not be getting any vests. The state of CA is trying to ban bullet proof vests. If the people do not get passive protection, neither should city employees.
    20
  99. Moodys just downgraded SF's credit rating. The tax apocalypse has begun. SF deserves to become Detroit. They took advantage of their wealth, geography and tourist appeal.
    20
  100. Time to GTFO of Oakland. There are plenty of great cities that Clorox and Kaiser can be located.
    20
  101. The wildlife congregates where there is free stuff. It is common sense.
    19
  102. Burger King should offer a discounted fudge sundae with a bottom burger.
    19
  103. Seattle and Portland voters wanted this and they got exactly what they voted for. Let them deal with the consequences.
    19
  104. Portland's voters voted for their lunatics. They just check the D. They made their choice and they need to live with their Hell.
    18
  105. Landlords need to picky on credit worthy tenants and raise their rents. Law of unintended consequences.
    18
  106. When it is NOT their money, politicians are quite generous. These are the people who should never have power!
    18
  107. Valley Fair is over 1.5 hours away from SF downtown. San Jose enforces their laws more so than SF. The jobs are also located in SJ.
    18
  108. IF Chicago needs a curfew, the better question is why kids are out on the street at 10pm? Start arresting criminals. A curfew will not stop criminals.
    18
  109. Us: There is a snowballs chance in hell your liberal policies will work! Johnson: So you are saying there is a chance...
    17
  110. Yup. Renovations take time and supplies are stuck in the ports. That is the story.
    17
  111. The denial of insurance needs to happen in San Francisco, too. People think voting in progressive lunatics to feel good has no consequences. This needs to apply to businesses and homeowners in these progressive run cities.
    17
  112. Ross is insane if they want to move their store to 5th and Market. They already have a store at 4th and Market and they have homeless and shoplifters constantly. There are two police cars there every time I pass by.
    17
  113. India is not an oil producing nation. They are shipping the oil into India from the Middle East, maybe Iran or Russia to refine. Then they ship the gasoline out to customers like California. That is insane.
    17
  114. At this point, just cut your losses and close up shop in SF. It is not worth it.
    17
  115. Capping your revenues while your expenses can rise with no limits. It is like these progressives are downright incompetent.
    16
  116. SF is like an airline that is constantly hijacked and the company uses passenger fares to pay the ransom instead of NOT BEING HIJaCKED.
    16
  117. Most people do not understand how insurance works. Besides investments, they purchase reinsurance to cover any shortfalls in coverage. CA does not allow reinsurance costs to be passed to consumers. Add in inflation and increased rebuilding costs and it has become untenable. Remember nobody will insure for earthquakes in CA. This is not unlike insurers not insuring for hurricane damage in Florida.
    16
  118. That mall has an underground entrance to the Powell st station. The bums regularly sprawl in front of that entrance. Who would want to take the train to come to SF to work or shop with that sight?
    16
  119. What exactly are Portland taxpayers actually paying for with their taxes?
    16
  120. I suspect AB5 was a huge factor. Imagine all of the independent salespeople suddenly becoming employees. The liabilities and taxes would skyrocket.
    16
  121. That corrupt DA needs to be arrested.
    16
  122. Liberals are idealists, not pragmatists. They think liberal thinking alone is synonymous with economic success. The problem is creative thinking works in the private sector where investors will pull the plug on failures. We never hear of the 95% of failures. The remaining successes reap huge rewards and make up for the vast number of failures. These people think applying this process to government will have the same results. The issue is politicians never pull the plug on failures. Instead, they double down on their failures. They do not care. It is taxpayer money. The blue states grew economically in spite of liberal government, not because of it. The money simply masked the problems until the breaking point.
    16
  123. These donors should be charged with crimes for being accomplices for criminals that commit crimes after their non profit bails them out
    16
  124. Just wear a surgical mask. Were we not mandating everyone wear one or else?
    16
  125. I loved Amazon Go stores. These places were as close to 7-11 in Japan as America will get.
    16
  126. San Francisco is a prison where the inmates run the asylum.
    15
  127. In SF, it is close to half based on surveys. They were attracted by the freebies.
    15
  128. Skip SF and Los Angeles. Host your conventions in Las Vegas. It is much safer.
    15
  129. That was Trump's point the whole time.
    15
  130. The liberals have spurred a new meme: Liberals in Oakland: Defund the Police! People are dying! Also Liberals in Oakland: Oh god! People are dying! Call in the National Guard!
    15
  131. SF has more issues than finding the right people. The SF Unified School district can not even pay their teachers on time and with the right amount. FOR MONTHS! Who would apply for a job where you might not get paid?
    15
  132. Survey data in SF supports this assumption. The more we feed the animals, the more of them come for the free stuff.
    15
  133. Come on Sean! These Aladdins were just trying to get something to eat. I am sure in a universe out there, camera equipment tastes great.
    15
  134. It is not just defunding police for the citizens. It is also making gun ownership for the average law abiding citizens as difficult as possible. So the people has little to no means of protection against groups of criminals.
    15
  135. Why bother having retail storefronts anymore? Have locked gates, have each customer scan their fingerprint or qr code from a pre screened app and then let them in single file through double locked gates.
    15
  136. Sean: It can't get much worse. California: Hold my drugs. Yes, it can get MUCH worse.
    15
  137. Congratulations for being part of the club. You finally made it big like Tim Pool, Larry Elder and Dave Rubin.
    15
  138. Democrats: We will reimagine policing. Congratulations, you just reinvented police.
    15
  139. Oakland voters: The city is not doing enough to help us. Then why do you continue to vote for these same corrupt politicians!?
    14
  140. I mean the advertising is accurate. You will see some amazing sights at the market. It is just like gawking at a freak show.
    14
  141. Harris was the DA when I lived in SF. I knew she was a disaster. Only lunatics would vote for that woman.
    14
  142. Progressive liberals: no need to worry. People move to the West Coast for the weather. Yeah right..
    14
  143. Someone will go to Portland. Others lunatics have thought going to Syria, Iran, Afghanistan and North Korea were great vacation ideas.
    14
  144. At least we proved UBI will not work.
    14
  145. That man and his army buddies are Heros. It was a travesty the Tacoma police seized some of their guns. Those drug dealers were terrorists and should have had a dirt nap or sent to prison.
    13
  146. This is why the lockdown is artificially choosing winners and losers. Many rich people live very modestly. It is the exception that they have luxury items. Most rich people's wealth are in their income generating investments and reinvest. Please don't confuse cash flow and asset wealth.
    13
  147. I use Caltrain on a daily basis. It is a good experience especially with the new clean electric trains. The trains are packed during rush hour. Caltrain enforces fares unlike BART and SF Muni so crime is non existent. We do have the once a month suicide jumper delaying trains, so take that as you will. SF Muni and BART are essentially mobile drug dens.
    13
  148. The Democrats said mentioning black on black crime is a Republican red herring argument. The Portland voters got exactly what they voted for.
    13
  149. Those people who think homeless people are exempt from the same rules the rest of us live by should have homeless encampments at their front door.
    13
  150. Maybe I should sell my second car with 170k miles. I might be able to get more than I paid 12 years ago.
    13
  151. I thought work from home was to stem covid infection, not prevent perceived misogyny.
    13
  152. I avoid conventions in SF and LA. The cities have become cesspools. Las Vegas, DFW and Miami are just nicer
    12
  153. F that shit. Who in their right mind would want to work for a police force where the residents hate you and actively try to undermine you?
    12
  154. I think someone in the Biden Admin realized if they do not enforce the Supreme Court ruling, there is nobody to stop them from issuing any orders they want.
    12
  155. Remember CA transplants are refugees, not missionaries!
    12
  156. His best friend's wife was not available that day.
    12
  157. You think facts will stop liberal voters? Some SF people blame Trump for their city's collapse to this day.
    12
  158. I like this idea. Give Nevada a Pacific coastline.
    12
  159. They should not be allowed to leave the city they destroyed. They need to stay put and continue paying taxes to compensate for the damage their ideology caused.
    12
  160. Quitting a job over fear of covid wasn't the biggest mistake. The fearmongering by politicians is the biggest mistake.
    12
  161. Kangaroos are not endangered. They are also harvested for meat in Australia. Petco even carries kangaroo Jerry for dogs.
    12
  162. The last time I checked, cars do not steal themselves. When will the criminals be held accountable for doing the actual stealing!?
    11
  163. Whoever thought up of this idea needs to be removed from office. If this type of failure happened in the private sector, they would be fired.
    11
  164. But those markets are a staple in San Francisco for decades! This would disproportionatly impact black and brown communities! We need to support local businesses.
    11
  165. My kids' school shut down because someone was SUSPECTED of having covid. No evidence and the district freaked out. It is not about science anymore with a 99.6% survival rate and even better for young kids. It is about fearmongering and politics.
    11
  166. The solution is simple. Defund taxpayer homeless services. This advice came from an interview by Colin Noir when he talked to a former director of a homeless non profit. It has to do with lack of accountability that some services act to enable bad behavior without consequences.
    11
  167. I have a theory that we need to do a Big Mac Index ( real instead of nominal income) instead of simply looking at prices. By that standard, I suspect people in SF and NY might be poorer than smaller cities even with 6 figure salaries.
    11
  168. Who in their right mind thinks buying in downtown of any riot filled city center is a good idea?
    11
  169. The government created strings on that money that discouraged takers. The fault is on the government
    10
  170. If the voters of Washington state do not recall the politicians responsible for making honest work illegal, then they deserve this.
    10
  171. I hope more Oregon counties vote to secede to Idaho. Let's make Idaho have a Pacific coastline.
    10
  172. One big issue is RV parks are disappearing on the west coast because the land got sold for condo and commercial development. RV parks charge rent and this keeps the homeless people out. Giving the space away for free attracts vagrants.
    10
  173. This is exactly why the economy should never have been mandated to be shut down. If the government truly treated the people like adults, they would give guidance and let people keep themselves safe.
    10
  174. That is crazy. Nordstrom leaving will hollow out that block between 4th and 5th St and Market.
    10
  175. Maybe Portland can hold a year round APEC summit and clean up their streets.
    10
  176. Two of those five Walgreens are in the suburb like residential sections of SF. The rot has infested the whole city of SF.
    10
  177. In SF, they are one and the same.
    10
  178. The same shit needs to happen in San Francisco, too. Small landlords need to exit the market and let renters get exactly what they ask for.
    10
  179. You mean to tell me handing out free drug paraphernalia does not decrease rampant drug use!? Color me shocked.
    10
  180. Drug and grocery stores already got screwed. We need those stores, but the liberals continue going easy on shoplifters for every retail. This simply trickles out to everyone unless we deal with every shoplifter regardless of the type of merchandise stolen.
    9
  181. Liberals: It must be systemic racism!
    9
  182. You hit the nail on the head. What these cities are doing is creating biased data to justify their dysfunctional policies.
    9
  183. I have to go into SF each week. The storefronts at the Embarcadero center are boarded up. The waterfront at the ferry building is a homeless encampment.
    9
  184. San Francisco government can manipulate their data, but companies with shareholders can not. I trust the corporate filings in this case.
    9
  185. And they still continue to overwhelmingly vote Democrat. At least more voters are realizing the error of their ways this election.
    9
  186. Bad decision by Fannie and Freddie Mac. These prices are driven by West Coast cities. These prices do not reflect actual purchasing power. There was a survey that people are somehow buying homes with 5% down. At some point, it will be 2008 all over again.
    9
  187. If anyone wants to know where stolen goods are fenced in the SF Bay Area, it is the flea markets, 6th and Mission after 5pm, and the central part of Mission St (many stolen phone parts). The people know about this, but the cops and DA do squat.
    9
  188. The only way this woke nonsense will stop is for a reckoning to occur at the government level for Portland. Bondholders need to stop financing their deficits as a vote of no confidence to the city's leadership and their ability to pay their bills. Same goes for Seattle, San Francisco, Minneapolis and other cities that choose to defund police, support rioters and refuse to run their cities properly.
    9
  189. We got one of these morons elected to the DA office in San Francisco. It has been a disaster.
    9
  190. If the US government would repeal the Jones act, more midwest states would boom with the use of waterway transport along the Mississippi river tributaries.
    9
  191. Also the Democrats keep pushing "assault" rifle bans while over 90% of crimes and "mass" aka gang shootings are done with handguns.
    8
  192. Using executive orders illegally will only increase. Watch this happen for gun bans, asset seizures, new taxes, more open borders and other violations of the Constitution using executive decrees.
    8
  193. Go back to getting your groceries from a counter. RIP supermarkets.
    8
  194. Sean is now an official subsidiary of the Babylon Bee. The stories he covers is so ridiculous that it sounds like satire but it does happen in real life.
    8
  195. Why even have a business in SF or CA anymore? It is not worth it to operate there anymore. Do not have a storefront in California. Just have people order with their phones and pick up curbside. Lock everything down.
    8
  196. Basically, this is the social worker model. And we know how that idea went.
    8
  197. Same for San Francisco. The voters love their progressive candidates.
    8
  198. This needs to happen. People need to get back to work. Schools need to reopen. The fear mongering needs to stop.
    8
  199. This is a round about way of impementing a rental moratorium.
    8
  200. Why can't the chief just force the officers to work!? They do it all the time in Afghanistan, Cuba and the Soviet Union!
    8
  201. The solution is to recall incumbent politicians. In CA, Newsom revised his covid standards and started reopening when his recall signature count qualified for the ballots.
    8
  202. To put this dollar amount into perspective, $11b is the annual operating budget for the city of San Francisco and 11x of what Los Angeles wastes annually on their homeless aka drug addict problem.
    8
  203. Also some migrants tested positive for covid, too.
    8
  204. No. The problem are liberal voters.
    8
  205. After the disaster of the CA recall, I have no hope of any recall in the supermajority blue states. The majority of voters got exactly what they voted for.
    8
  206. These Democrat run cities threw law enforcement under the bus and now they have to pay more to replenish the staffing. Their actions caused this damage.
    8
  207. Send some to SF, too. But it may be analogous to sending people into a war zone.
    8
  208. The Texas residents need to remind the blue state transplants they are refugees, not missionaries. Tell the transplants to leave their liberal policies at the state border.
    8
  209. I think this depression of real estate prices is going to last years due to the high intereat rates.
    8
  210. Love the new ambiance. It is better for my eyes as I watch on my phone.
    8
  211. But the good weather will compensate for all the quality of life issues! Said every Democrat politician.
    8
  212. Yup. Many states allow local voting if you can legally work. The ability to legally work is the last obstacle to creating a new Democrat voter base.
    8
  213. I can see ambulance chasing lawyers filing lawsuits for the health effects after a few years. This will be a costly idea.
    8
  214. These politicians do not understand the difference between cash flows and illiquid assets on a balance sheet.
    8
  215. Isn't public crowdfunding called TAXES!? As always, the question should be "WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CASH!?"
    8
  216. What a lovely insurrection Portland had.
    8
  217. Who doesn't add in assault shower heads in the privacy of our own homes. Gotta keep that on the down low.
    8
  218. Next thing you know, Portland will ask the tax collectors to patrol neighborhoods.
    8
  219. Good for Seattle for not voting for Chesa Boudin and George Gascon for their city.
    8
  220. Lock down the front door. Make people place orders at a kiosk or online. Hand the groceries through a drawer like a bank teller.
    7
  221. Why does insurance need to pay out for "peaceful protests"? The insurance should refuse to pay. The voters of Seattle hanging support for BLM and Antifa while electing progressives got exactly what they voted for.
    7
  222. Volunteers who are not on taxpayer money cleaning up the homeless should be appreciated, not disciplined by the city. Seattle government is a disgrace.
    7
  223. The CIA used Barney the Dinosaur music in their torture procedures. They should consider that music, too.
    7
  224. SF is becoming Detroit West.
    7
  225. The majority keep voting Democrat.
    7
  226. Look at Los Angeles. They spend $1 billion per year and the situation got worse. It is not the money. It is the homeless industrial complex.
    7
  227. Liberals: but why is this still happening!?
    7
  228. The voters in LA saw what Gascon did to SF and told themselves they want some of that shit.
    7
  229. I never though anyone could make Beetlejuice look moderate.
    7
  230. Ironically, that was the same advice by Fauci before covid in 2019.
    7
  231. The more I think about it, Trump pulling out of the climate accords was a good idea. It was a bad idea to agree to set targets by foreign politicians. We can do it on our own terms. And most certainly not destroying farms that feed the people.
    7
  232. How many of these people voted Democrat and supported defunding police and legitimizing crimes because feelings?
    7
  233. She quoted the police stats that were clearly underreported.
    7
  234. But he did not burn down his workplace for a red stapler.
    7
  235. What kind of drug are these corporate execs smoking to think opening a business in Portland, OR was a good idea?
    7
  236. And these voters overwhelmingly elected the same lunatics that cut loose Antifa. Portland voters deserve ZERO sympathy. They are the root cause of their own misery.
    7
  237. Every business owner needs to exit large cities. There is no longer a reason to stay in cities with hybrid work schedules and increases in crime.
    7
  238. God wants nothing to do with Portland, Seattle or San Francisco. He wiped out cities in the past for sins. He is noping out of these hellholes.
    7
  239. They need criminal charges if they can prove the charity provided aid to drug and human smugglers. Otherwise a civil case is going to sound weak.
    7
  240. Jacobson v Massachusetts says states can issue vaccine mandates. The feds might get away with requiring covid vaccines for entering the US. I doubt a federal mandate can extend to a company with no interstate travel.
    7
  241. Machetes are only $5 at your local Harbor Freight or Ross.
    7
  242. Aged organic poop is an acquired taste.
    7
  243. As usual, blame the voters. This is what the majority of voters wanted.
    7
  244. Ban teeth! Nobody should have more than 10 teeth. There is no reason to have assault teeth that can bite many people in a short period of time.
    6
  245. 2020 showed getting out of Blue urban areas and having some self sufficiency is required. Otherwise rioters and looters will come for you and the cops will be unable to help you.
    6
  246. At least these thieves are using a vehicle using natural gas. It is greener than a gasoline forklift.
    6
  247.  Angel Freak  As a resident of San Francisco, I can attest the majority of voters did vote for its progressive policies by electing progressive candidates over and over again.
    6
  248. Also San Francisco and Oakland.
    6
  249. San Francisco is a failed city as is most liberal leaning blue West Coast cities. Liberal policies did not create the economic success. The economic success thrived IN SPITE of the liberal policies. The increased tax base served to subsidize and mask the underlying problems with liberal policies. At this point, I do not see a way out for these cities. Defund the police discourages new police officers, Cop hating, criminal coddling politicians and DAs constantly get elected and will thrown the police under the bus when it is politically convenient. The voters are suffering from cognitive dissonance and Kreuger Dunning syndrome with Stockholm syndrome mixed in so they will always check the D at the voting booth no matter what. They will become the new Detroits.
    6
  250. It happens because voters voted into power people who create and enforce these actions.
    6
  251. Dead people always vote Democrat.
    6
  252. And SF and Los Angeles.
    6
  253. If any of these grocers supported BLM, they deserve less police. They got exactly what they wanted.
    6
  254. The riots were "peaceful protests". Why would insurance need to pay for damages? There should be no damages. The voters of Portland got exactly what they voted for.
    6
  255. We have interest groups arguing these people have the right to be on the street instead of an insane asylum. They also argue the government needs to give these people free stuff.
    6
  256. Meanwhile IKEA looked at that and said "that shit looks like fun! We need to get in on some of that shit" and decides to open a new store in Mid Market.
    6
  257. It was a combination of Gascon, Boudin, prop 47. They compounded on itself over time.
    6
  258. The Pittsburg / Antioch area is Oakland East. No amount of police is going to matter when the voters hate you.
    6
  259. Most ERs are never overun. The average capacity in any year is 68% plus or minus a few percentage points before covid. Covid added a 10% to 15% on top of that. There was no way even a bunch of OD patients would overwhelm the hospitals.
    6
  260. Ship them to Los Angeles and San Francisco, too.
    6
  261. Ignore the FEDERAL and STATE arrests of ORGANIZED CRIME who fence the stolen goods of shoplifters. Yeah, audits trying to discredit the count of arrests and recovered merchandise are going to reduce crime.
    6
  262. Tell Benioff to pay for it. He was one of the people who supported Defund the Police and taxing companies to fund the homeless industrial complex.
    6
  263. The Portland voter will not realize this. The only solutions are to leave or secede.
    6
  264. The solution is to stop funding endless homeless services. The funding needs an expiration date and an audit. Offer each bum one opportunity. They get rehab, temporary housing and a job to get them back on their feet. If they refuse, make them sign and fingerprint a form acknowledging they refused services. Then tell them to move along or be arrested.
    6
  265. Farmers Insurance has seen this before and they are not covering it.
    6
  266. And people thought the red parts of Oregon wanted to secede to Idaho were crazy because they wanted nothing to do with the urban blue government that do such stupid shit.
    6
  267. The kids in Asia were doing Algebra in 2nd grade.
    6
  268. Gang members: Break yourself! Bettlejuice: Educate yourself! Sounds like fancy speak for "prepare to be robbed.
    6
  269. The problem is not the Tenderloin in this case. Mission st south of 4th st is a separate drug den and after 6pm, the stolen goods come out for sale. If you wonder where to get stolen bicycle parts that are very high end, this is the place.
    5
  270. I guess the moniker "Baghdad by the Bay" is appropriate.
    5
  271. Does nothing if released criminals still try raping attorneys.
    5
  272. Then the stuff is being fenced by organized crime, not simply people trying to buy food.
    5
  273. This is why government needs political opposition. Our government was designed for checks and balances and compromises. 1 party rule causes these problems.
    5
  274. Even a broken analog clock is correct twice a day. So good job for doing their job 1% of the time.
    5
  275. Remember Larry Elder was labeled the black face of white supremacy for supporting school choice and not imposing vaccine mandates. The lefty liberals label anyone who does not agree with them as far right. Currently Joe Rogan is considered far right. Let that sink in on how ridiculous that is.
    5
  276. And our city's voters still elect the same progressive lunatics that double down on failed policies so the problem moves to other parts of town. Notice the homeless do not cross the border into San Mateo county.
    5
  277. Exactly. Shipping homeless and addicts around "to save their lives" is not compassion.
    5
  278. The issue was put bac in front of CA voters in 2020. It was called prop 20 and it would have repealed prop 47 and 58. 2/3 of the state voters voted against it. The blame lies with the majority of CA voters. No duping needed.
    5
  279. Not California. They also legislated Boeing out of the state. Liberals hate businesses except Google and Facebook.
    5
  280. That cop needs to sue the dept and police chief.
    5
  281. It is worse than the article makes it out to be. Are South Korea or Singapore oil producing nations? No! They are shipping in crude oil from the Middle East, refining it within their respective borders into that special blend and then shipping it to California! California's gasoline regulations are some of the most ass backwards rules in existence!
    5
  282. You just described Amazon.
    5
  283. As a person who has to go into SF on a weekly basis, I can confirm you are lying through your teeth. There are tents on the Embarcadero. The storefronts on Market are empty. Car thieves smash in car windows in front of witnesses and give zero Fs. The Safeway get bums walking out with handfuls of groceries.
    5
  284. Just shut down the rental market already. That was the goal from the beginning for these politicians. Might as well let their system collapse sooner to spare people the agony.
    5
  285. IKEA saw what was going on in SF and thought to themselves "we gotta get in on some of that crime! Let's open a store in downtown SF. It will be fun!"
    5
  286. You do not need to be in SF for the weather. The Peninsula and South Bay are better values. We still have DAs that prosecute crime and police that arrest criminals. It is SF, Oakland, Berkeley, Richmond that should be avoided at all costs.
    5
  287. No company stops making money by choice. It sounds like prices have risen too high to justify valuations and no money can be made.
    5
  288. SF took 10 years to get a Lowes after screwing Home Depot. Everyone drives into the next county into Colma to buy home improvement stuff. Let these businesses exit SF. The SF voter chose this path towarda turning their city into Detroit.
    5
  289. Remember when average Americans were protesting the lockdowns in March 2020 for their right to work? They were labeled as right wing Trump voters hell bent on killing grandma. Some were arrested by the police and they were ridiculed by the health care workers. Now those same police departments and health care workers have their jobs on the line and are labeled as evil right wing grandma killers. Should have been more empathetic when they had the chance.
    5
  290. I use tampons to stop nosebleeds. Yeah, that is my reason and I am sticking to it.
    5
  291. The Democrat voters never actually read the bill. There is nothing wrong with requiring ID to vote. ID, not drivers license, are free and accessible. They even offer alternatives like a copy of a utility bill or social security number for ID. If an ID to excercise a right is illegal, I want every eligible American citizen to be sent an AR-15 rifle by mail with no background check.
    5
  292. Did this homeowner vote Democrat? If so, it is contributory negligence.
    5
  293. Until the protests went to the mayor's place. Then Durkin put down her iron fist.
    5
  294. Yes. Apparently, so does Washington DC. The voters put Harris into the White House.
    5
  295. There is a reason those of us who live in the SF Bay Area call that place Oaklandistan. It is Baghdad by the Bay for all the wrong reasons.
    5
  296. It is nearly impossible to starve, too. Edible plants grow like weeds and a simple net gets you a pile of smelt or tilapia in any body of water.
    5
  297. Did these parents ask their kids if they protested to defund the police? If so, I hope they had a talking to by their parents.
    5
  298. It tried to shank a security guard. It got shot. Its new pronouns are Was/Were.
    5
  299.  @mudderjen  Same reason Mayor Durkin brought the ban hammer on Antifa when they protested in front of her home. Threaten the people and it is fine. Threaten those who hold power and they will crush them.
    4
  300. As a person from CA, I agree. Our governor Newsom ordered lockdowns while he went to one of the most expensive restaurants in the country with medical lobbyists. This is the state's problem. We caused our own misery. We need to take care of it, not have the feds bail us out. Stop the lockdowns!
    4
  301. Expect to see all kiosks and one or two cooks. It gets dispensed through a revolving door.
    4
  302. The irony is not lost on me. The end result is criminals are still cut loose even if SFPD arrests and the SF DA charges for felonies. So the better question is why those criminals in SF are cut loose. Probably because we have public defender judges and prosecutors.
    4
  303. At least those 200 people are not complaining about the wait or bad service.
    4
  304. San Francisco is having their own NY Right to housing moment. Their lax law enforcement and prosecution and generous benefits created their drug tourism problem. If SF was serious about solving the drug problem, the DA would start prosecuting drug dealers as mass murderers and the city would cut all city services except for those who accept help to get off the streets.
    4
  305. Free city services.
    4
  306. Do you really want to go into a shelter next to some homeless person's pit bull?
    4
  307. These CA transplants ran from their old homes to Las Vegas. They need to remember WHY they left CA. Leave their failed policies that ruined CA at the state border.
    4
  308. Even HAMAS needs their caffeine fix.
    4
  309. The answer is clearly MORE gun control laws. We should have MORE background checks, assault weapons bans and red flag laws. Liberal logic makes perfect sense.
    4
  310. This is why Kari Lake's idea of declaring an invasion and mobilizing the AZ National Guard to stop the inflow of illegal migrants is the most significant proposal in the states' election race.
    4
  311. So drug addicts and Sunday football have something in common.
    4
  312. Tell them to steal Bud Light.
    4
  313. Working on the kitchen table on a 15 inch screen is inferior to the dual screen setup and intranet connection of the office. I am still more productive going into the office even if there are no other people around. It is expected people have to go back into the office eventually. Only the delusional think WFH will be permanent.
    4
  314. Yeah no. Fuel tanks can be pressurized. There is no assurance the putty will hold permanently. Modern tanks are plastic, not metal.. You will have to replace the whole tank.
    4
  315. Anchor Steam was owned by Sapporo. Welp to the shareholders that elected the guy that thought buying a business in San Francisco was a good idea.
    4
  316. Union Pacific pointed out Los Angeles DA Gascon as the cause. He is cutting too many criminals loose and these people are the ones committing these thefts. They got cut loose the same day.
    4
  317. I thought it was a Freudian slip the first time when Harris said it. Then Biden said it. Then Harris's husband said it. These people are not even trying to lie anymore.
    4
  318. According to John Hopkins, other deaths from heart disease, flu, pneumonia, and other diseases are down. Covid accelerated deaths that would happen in the near term. The net number of additional deaths are negligible.
    4
  319. I signed! F the guy who made honest work illegal!
    4
  320. Just look at the SF main public library to see what happens when homeless take over.
    4
  321. Chesa Boudinism.
    4
  322. Did you cast a vote for these progressive liberals?
    4
  323. Funny story: I was cut off by a Tesla Model X. In a gas station. The driver needed to pump up his tires. This coming from the people claiming electric cars will laugh at gas car owners and never need a gas station. GTFO!
    4
  324. Virgina turned blue a few years ago.
    4
  325. Watch the videos of the SF Walgreens grab and runs. It is ridiculous. There is no consequences for theft or crimes in SF.
    4
  326. Ask the Oakland voters to vote differently if they want policy changes.
    4
  327. Bond investors need to stop buying Muni bonds for these cities. The moment their funding dries up is the day reality finally hits these politicians.
    4
  328. The voters in Los Angeles supported progressive candidates until the consequences of their vote caught up to them.
    4
  329. First off, these people should never have depended on the government in the first place. Second is they voted Democrat.
    4
  330. Oh no! Now the japanese supermarket across the street will be the next target.
    4
  331. AZ and places like Placer county in CA turned blue this election from all the CA urban transplants. I find it hard to believe Seattle still has takers given the government dysfunction.
    3
  332. Only because 2022 elections are coming.
    3
  333. Newsom ran San Francisco and never was able to solve homelessness in his own backyard. Why 65% of CA voters thought he could do anything about the problem is beyond me.
    3
  334. The argument against the death penalty was these monsters would never get out when sentenced to life without parole. Now liberals are going back on their word. It was always a scam to abolish the death penalty.
    3
  335. If drugs were in aerosol form and released into a subway, it is called terrorism. When it is sold to people, it is overlooked by politicians, labeled as homeless and taxpayers have to pay for the consequences. Call drug dealers what they are: terrorists. Start bringing down the hammer on them. Tie trade deals with countries like Mexico and China to how they arrest their narcotics manufacturers.
    3
  336. When you see them, just shoot them. Do not warn them. Aim and shoot from a distance. Make sure you are not on any cameras. Deny everything if the police asks.
    3
  337. I want to know if this guy voted Democrat.
    3
  338. Support the secession of counties into Idaho to form Greater Idaho.
    3
  339. Start smuggling bacon into California. Imagine going to prison for that.
    3
  340. The FBI caught a few leftists for the DC riots. It seems more like a crime of opportunity.
    3
  341. Vert true. Many of them moved to Antioch and Fairfield and the crime followed.
    3
  342. Why would anyone pay good money to live at ground zero of the Purge? Some people are insane.
    3
  343. Wheeler ran when they set fire to his condo. He did not even try to stop the rioters.
    3
  344. This is the result of liberal policies. Place the blame on progressive voters who want this stuff.
    3
  345. This is exactly why electing a CA Democrat into national office is an act of insanity.
    3
  346. If Sterling Bank goes to shit, watch SF real estate become a shit show. They are one of the few banks that issue mortgages for TICs.
    3
  347. Same with San Francisco. The crime and homeless stop at the SF county border and do not cross into San Mateo county.
    3
  348. 2nd Amendment: regulate a militia Translation: have the people possess functioning arms for defense.
    3
  349. Free meat. My tiger will be happy. /s
    3
  350. Transitory long term inflation. Mostly peaceful protests Democrats love their gaslighting.
    3
  351. Do a condo conversion and sell off the individual units. There is money to be made with some creativity.
    3
  352. This is too little too late. Where was this resistance 3 years ago?
    3
  353. This is why you need a court order to take people's rights away. Imagine if the police commits people they simply don't like.
    3
  354. As of this moment, only a central valley GOP legislator is trying to repeal prop 47. This is telling how liberals and RINOs want crime to run rampant.
    3
  355. I suspect the reason for suing is because of the lower threshold for getting a judgement compared to a criminal conviction. The issue is there is no way to enforce the judgement and these gang members are financially judgement proof.
    3
  356. If the cities want to solve this issue, the cities have plenty of city owned parking lots that could allow for RV parking for a fee like an actual RV park. Notice how those actual RV parks do not have crime because people actually have an incentive to not screw the place up when they have a financial incentive instead of being free.
    3
  357. We need some common sense molotov cocktail controls.
    3
  358. Go through the voter rolls and send out the liberal voters to respond to these calls. They voted for it so they need to deal with the consequences. If they refuse, their right to vote is revoked for 10 years.
    3
  359. Time for Parlor and other companies to set up their own servers. This is one downside of outsourcing your data processing and storage. They need to also avoid app stores of any kind. Stick with browsers.
    3
  360. That SF Supervisor is doing everything but his damn job. SF voters elected the clown. I blame them.
    3
  361. Costco learned from Amazon.
    3
  362. CHAZ enforcers brutalized and executed people on the streets. Makes the cops look like downright pacificists by comparison. Liberals need to be careful what they ask for.
    3
  363. Some landlords will take Zelle, PayPal or Square. Take a 3% hit, but get paid on time. Some people will accept the cost.

  364. You know this is coming soon...
    3
  365. And Bud Light was giving out rebates for $15. They are paying people to take their product.
    3
  366. Mostly peaceful and poop free.
    3
  367. When banks take over properties, the corporate lawyers will pull no punches. They will evict and have the financial muscle to make it happen.
    3
  368. Yup. Counts are not finalized. Tim Pool explained it best. Historically, almost all races led to the the other candidate conceding before the counts were finalized. This did not happen in Bush v Gore. The vote count to allocate the 270 electoral votes has not been finalized and Trump has no obligation to concede yet.
    3
  369. Good luck with trying to get the government to admit fault. These people voted for these politicians. The solution is to stop voting for these progressive liberals.
    3
  370. Since when have nominal wages ever go down? You are right. Inflation is here to stay.
    3
  371. I guess people can eat pigeons in a pinch. They are not the most meaty birds, though. They are like skinny quails.
    3
  372. "fighting fire with gasoline" SF needs to put out their uncontrollable dumpster fire with the proverbial nuke. Yes, this is a thing. Yes, it works.
    3
  373. They will start banning assault guillotines.
    3
  374. Just deduct the amount given out against their lottery winnings.
    3
  375. How is this not election interference? The person who wrote the initial story debunking the laptop validity needs to be arrested.
    3
  376. The thieves did not fulfill the requirements to take advantage of thensales price like pay for the item. Next.
    3
  377. The only people wanting to move to Seattle is to get away from someplace worse like San Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland and Minneapolis.
    3
  378. Exactly. Even New Orleans with its importance in shipping and logistics can decline from its peak given the wrong conditions. Leaders should not take their good fortunes for granted.
    3
  379. 40 applications is a lot. To put it into perspective, the number of San Francisco's last olice academy grads was a total of 6. SIX!
    3
  380. Wakanda was well run. This is the Congo or Mogadishu.
    3
  381. Not just the IRS. Apparently the Dept of Agriculture and FDA needed an arsenal, too.
    3
  382. Just get those social workers on the case.
    3
  383. These are known as TICs. The issue is that most lenders did not issue loans for these arrangements even when interest rates were good with a few exceptions such as Sterling Trust. I suspect part of the issue is the inability to get financing.
    3
  384. Also send some to San Francisco.
    3
  385. Liberals: West Coast property prices will always go up. Everyone want to live here. The problems are right wing propaganda. Also liberals: Oh God! Why can't I sell my house!? I am too afraid to step outside my home. Throw in the fact that insurance companies are pulling out of crime infested markets and the pool of buyers who can afford the homeowners insurance or even find a policy goes down. Pennies on the dollar is an understatement judging from the transactions on the commercial property sales. Do not cry for the stupid. You will be crying all day.
    2
  386. When people do not want what you are offering, that should be a hint your product is awful.
    2
  387. You mean prop 47?
    2
  388. Has anyone checked if anyone in Seattle government has anything resembling testicles?
    2
  389. Portland should pass a new law to ban crime. That will make a difference.
    2
  390. I have no faith in Portland voters. They are a lost cause. Unfortunately there are too many lost causes that may continue electing a Democrat for governor.
    2
  391. Depends on the car. Some models will go 300k with regular maintenance.
    2
  392. Good luck. Washington state has harsh gun control laws that are equal to California.
    2
  393. This city took a page out of the SF playbook where they ticket homeowners for not cleaning the sidewalk in front of their house.
    2
  394. Portable bandsaw and angle grinders.
    2
  395. First Cuomo. Next Newsom! Let's go!
    2
  396. Who can blame Eastern Oregon for trying to secede from the lunatics in Portland that destroyed their own city and the state.
    2
  397. Taking away people's guns was the first step towards authoritarianism. Just like the left eating their own, it is only a matter of time before more people have the wrong type of thought and will be swept up in these political persecutions. The people who supported gun bans in New Zealand will eventually regret their decision and by that time it will be too late.
    2
  398. The thieves will shift to home robberies.
    2
  399. These non citizen voting laws are insidious. The key is one of the requirements is "legal to work". Remember the Democrats are pushing Biden to allow illegals to work. That is the final key to successfully importing voters.
    2
  400. Just ban crime.
    2
  401. Please include Oakland and San Francisco, too.
    2
  402. Portland is a lost cause. Let the city burn from their own politics.
    2
  403. Tax evasion is guilty until proven innocent. This is a sure way to arrest thieves.
    2
  404. Minneapolis is where Target HQ is located. If you can not even keep stores open in your own turf, just move out of that city. That city government and its woke voters are lost causes.
    2
  405. Don't do that. Some places have laws against tenant harrassment. Do evictions within the law.
    2
  406. There is a reason why we tell people to not feed the animals. It will only attract more animals. And people are surprised giving the homeless and addicts free stuff will result in an increase in homeless and addicts? Liberals have no credibility to claim they have critical thinking skills ever again.
    2
  407. Pregnant women about to give birth!? These illegals are really milking our asylum system and birthright citizenship.
    2
  408. Let the citizens of Portland defend themselves with their own arms. Oh wait..
    2
  409. That state park would be the safest place in the state during those training hours.
    2
  410. They carved an exemption for truckers after a caravan of truckers protested in Sacramento.
    2
  411. Sounds like an election fortification to me.
    2
  412. It is hilarious that we have a Supreme Court Justice candidate who can not define a woman but the Ukrainian army has no issue figuring out who is a man or woman. The Trans women pretending to be women are denied evacuation, handed a rifle and told to go fight the Russians along side other men.
    2
  413. Please share your experience.
    2
  414. Sorry, Sean. The criminals made their decision to forfeit their lives when they commit a crime. When these liberals say people should not risk their lives for property, do you think they also include criminals stealing property who also assault and kill people for a few dollars of stuff? No. They only virtue signal for the criminals. People need to defend themselves.
    2
  415. No! Just No! No federal money to clean up a drug den of a toilet!
    2
  416. I can not imagine restaurants with 5% margins can afford private security. Who would be left in the downtown areas?
    2
  417. It is a disgrace for the media to call a sideshow as a protest and then proceed to blame the police when they get attacked. Did the media call out the people who were injured during sideshows?
    2
  418. You misspelled toxic superfund site.
    2
  419. I promise my spouse will not chill at my workplace and I will show up to work. Hire me.
    2
  420. They traded Beetlejuice for Johnson. What had to break in Chicago voters heads to think this was a good idea?
    2
  421. The issue is the costs include security and other services. These are people who can not take care of themselves and attract drug dealers. This is why state conservatorship is necessary. However, liberals want to argue for homeless rights but then demand services for drug treatment that these people will ever choose to use.
    2
  422. Escape from New York. If Snake had the common sense to GTFO 30 years ago, maybe you should too.
    2
  423. It is a non issue. If every employer requires vaccines or else, then those same people going out to eat will be vaccinated by default. Making such mandates is redundant and useless.
    2
  424. There has not been a Republican in SF office since 1975. SF liberals have been blaming Republicans for the city's problems for almost half a century.
    2
  425. That mall was always struggling. Its draw is the large parking garage and office buildings. The stores, theater and restaurants were subpar. I am surprised this mall hung on for as long as it did. There is still a pub, post office, Peets, a small cafe, Chase bank and a One Medical office open in there. Compare this dump to Stonestown Galleria on the other side of San Francisco in the suburb like Sunset and Parkside districts that is packed every day.
    2
  426. Exactly! Not being 100% reliant on any one energy source in case shit happens.
    2
  427. Start an engine remanufacturing business.
    2
  428. You get shot, robbed and/or raped in Portland. Suddenly being in a rolling cage or not going into Portland makes more sense.
    2
  429. I appreciate the real estate info. Breaks the monotony of leftist nonsense.
    2
  430. Ronan is representative of the ideology of the majority of SF voters. These people are the problem. They need to stop voting immediately.
    2
  431. SF wants your money but screw everyone else. That is the progressive way! This has got to violate the 14th amendment of equal protection.
    2
  432. Could not happen to a more deserving organization. These 3rd tier law schools are parasites on society producing activists.
    2
  433. Liberals: give drug addicts free needles. That will solve their disease spread. Liberals: give drug addicts free housing. That will stop them from being homeless on the streets. Liberals: Let's give drug addicts jobs. That will solve their issues. All the while ignoring the obvious fact these people are drug addicts.
    2
  434. Including coffee and French fries.
    2
  435. Star Trek Online has a ship called the Typhon class with a Fortress mode. Maybe Apple can take inspiration from that starship.
    2
  436. I am now convinced liberalism is a mental illness. How does a sane person think such an idea passes the common sense test or not have the mental capacity to think about any unintended consequences of actions?
    2
  437. Liberal Portland voters should convict and jail themselves for electing in Wheeler and the progressive politicians.
    2
  438. I want to see you do a podcast on Timcast.
    2
  439. This same mentality is prevalent in San Francisco. This tells me nothing will change in liberal cities.
    2
  440. What is the point of private security in CA or even SF? Just make everyone check in at the door with a verified login using a phone app. Then lock the door after entry. Or have all merchandise behind plexiglass.
    2
  441. Hell F'ing No! No amount of money is worth getting framed, smeared and sued into purgatory by woke voters and politicians. Let the voters of Oakland police their own city. They chose their own deaths.
    2
  442. Many people took covid as an opportunity to retire. My mom retired when her workplace shut down. Now she will never go back. She is taking part time work, SSI and watching the grandkids so my sister in law and brother can go back to work. Her old boss still calls her once a week asking if she will come back to full time work. Blame the idiots mandating a lockdown for our current dilemma.
    2
  443. Liberalism is a mental disorder. This explains Portland being the asylum run by the inmates.
    2
  444. This should not even be up for discussion. Just deport the illegals directly. Save time, money and effort.
    2
  445. Any person with common sense could see definding police was a bad idea. San Jose, CA had a budget issue back in 2014. They reduced police spending. Gang crime went up. That got reversed in under a year. When people screamed for defundin the police in 2020, we had a historical precedent and these liberals somehow thought repeating history would result in different outcomes.
    2
  446. San Francisco ALL the cities! Keep voting Democrats!
    2
  447. It is good to have more outlets than less that have different points of view. Trump should stick to his platform and keep it going.
    2
  448. Or "rent" for a year at exhorbant rates and then sell for the difference to bring the selling price under the threshold.
    2
  449. The liberal SF voters voted for these policies by electing clowns.
    2
  450. We kind of do in CA. Each aluminum can has a redemption value, even the alcoholic ones.
    2
  451. Sean could make the request and get some exclusive content. That would be awesome.
    2
  452. Solving the liberal voters is the only way to fix these blue cities.
    2
  453. They just steal the whole car and part out in a secure location. Just move it on a flatbed.
    2
  454. "Economic effects" is now the new euphemism for disastrous liberal woke policies.
    2
  455. These liberal clowns pretending to be informed voters elected lunatics into office to virtue signal and now they wonder if they should intervene when a crime occurs? With what exactly? You clowns banned your right to have guns. That is a huge reason Eastern Oregon wants to join Idaho! And if they injure those criminals, the DA that you elected will prosecute YOU for harming the criminal! These liberal clowns stay in Portland. Wallow in the cesspool they created. Do not spread the liberal cancer elsewhere.
    2
  456. Thr problems with SF will go away when investors stop buying SF muni bonds and insurance pulls out of SF. Either voters start voting with common sense or they can self insure.
    2
  457. At some point, beating the dead horse of liberal voters being stupid is like bullying the retarded. Did we expect anything else from these lunatics and do we expect them to change?
    2
  458. Any officer that joins SFPD gets exactly what they asked for when the local woke politicians throw them under the bus for doing their job. No amount of money is worth having your life ruined and go to prison.
    2
  459. The Seattle voters voted for the communist party. Live with the consequences.
    2
  460. The doom loop is not just economic. It is political. Do you want to live in a city where criminals run rampant, the police will not respond and if you defend yourself, you are prosecuted? Do you want to be a police officer working for an employer that is itching to throw you under the bus when it is political convenient instead of whether it was legal? You have to be insane to want to come into SF.
    2
  461. Tim Pool called this. This is the reinvention of the police. Ridiculous!
    2
  462. The fact that such a weak point enrages liberals tells me SF has a long way to fall before things get better.
    2
  463. These liberal clowns are doing every possible thing EXCEPT arrest criminals.
    2
  464. Meanwhile in Asia, kids in 2nd grade are working on algebra, English and their native language. Are liberals this stupid or are they just evil? Or both? And we wonder why the eastern part of Oregon wants to join Idaho.
    2
  465. Yeah, there is no conservative bias. Says the violent liberals.
    2
  466. That reporter was reporting on the Westfield Mall that is between 4th and 5th st. That is barely at the edge of the Tenderloin. If even that liberal clown will not do his job in that area, what hope is there for the average person? SF is a shit show.
    2
  467. You need to listen to the statement from SF's London Breed about the crime in the city. She blamed covid, Trump and Walgreens. Now she sounds like her red pill is finally dissolving into her bloodstream.
    2
  468. Time to fire employees until a business stays under the mandate employee limit of 100.
    2
  469. There is an alternative. Stop the lockdown!
    2
  470. Remember Amazon funded BLM that supported rioting, looting, campaigns to defund the police and bailing out criminals. I have no sympathy for Amazon. The company got exactly what they paid for.
    2
  471. Elon needs to move Twitter out of SF. Maybe Texas.
    2
  472. No sane person would want to apply for any job with any police dept in Democrat run cities.
    2
  473. Mums was all you can eat for $25 before covid. AYCE places are rare now in SF. Most of them are now in the Peninsula and San Jose, CA. SF is not a good place to run such a business anymore.
    2
  474. Biden is propped up by the same lunatics that thought shutting down the whole economy, firing people for their vaccination status and shutting down schools were excellent ideas. They also got Keystone canceled and drilling permits and other construction permits stopped to get people to transition to renewables energy. It is like these people have no clue on how the world works and disregard facts.
    2
  475. Time for some recalls!
    1
  476. I was skeptical on Abbott sending illegals to DC. Now I am convinced he did the right thing. The Democrats opened the floodgates and left the border states to fend for themselves. The Democrats are now exposed for the hypocritical border policy. How about securing our border which is the federal government's damn job!
    1
  477. Less lawsuits and bad press.
    1
  478. Really!? After Wheeler cut all these rioters and insurrectionists loose months ago so they can wage war against the federal government!? After they torched his condo!? After these lunatics burned Portland!? Wheeler needs to be removed from office and prosecuted for sedition.
    1
  479. This is anarchotyranny. And the liberal voters elected this in California.
    1
  480. Liberals do not need a real scapegoat. They just make one up. Liberals in SF have been blaming Republicans for their city's problems as far back as the 90's and the last GOP board of supervisor was elected in 1975. Facts be damned.
    1
  481. It is ironic this is happening. Gun owners have been saying this exact thing for years. Why do people sue gun makers for using stolen guns used in crimes? Why do they not sue car makers for the same thing when the car gets stolen. Now a liberal DA is doing it and it is no longer conjecture. That slippery slope just turned into a cliff.
    1
  482. SF voters electing leaders who will do everything in their power except arrest and prosecute criminals. That is how we end up with skate parks as a solution to drug dealing. SF voters need to stop voting immediately. They can not accuse lawful gun owners of causing mass shootings deaths with lawful gun ownership when their liberal assault vote causes 300+ people to die of drug overdoses each year and letting drug dealing murders free to kill for DECADES!
    1
  483. When homeless people overrun parks and commit crimes like drug dealing, drug use, arson and stabbings, then they need to be removed. Screw the bleeding heart lawyers and the liberals.
    1
  484. $50/hr is skilled labor rates. These liberals are high.
    1
  485. This no bail nonsense is what is pushing through the recall for Chesa Boudin in SF. Many of those criminals he let off on no cash bail ended up killing people while committing new crimes.
    1
  486. I saw a discussion on Nextdoor regarding this bill. The liberal Kool Aid addicts were dismissing this law as "worker protection" and keeping people safe. There is no data showing an rash of employees engaging criminals nor are companies mandating employees stepping in to prevent theft. In fact, it is the opposite. Such a law serves no purpose at face value. Just like building a border wall, it is an act of resolve or in this case a lack of it to enforcing the law. It only emboldens criminals to continue smash and grabs and gives trial lawyers another reason to sue those with deep pockets if criminals are arrested or injured during the commission of a crime.
    1
  487. How can remote work hurt smaller cities so badly? Remote capable workers constitute 30% of the total US workforce. I can understand the tech centric cities. But the Midwest cities should not be so bad.
    1
  488. She is like Roberta from the anime Black Lagoon in RL. Sweet.
    1
  489. The blame lands squarely on every person who supported BLM and their defund the police movement.
    1
  490. Even to this day, the mainstream media is denying there is a conservative bias. KCBS just quoted an MIT researcher that continues to claim conservatives were banned for misinformation even though Dave Rubin was correct that Fauci would require boosters and the Hunter Biden laptop information was proven true. The liberal left are pulling out all the stops to discredit Musk.
    1
  491. These illegals are overflowing into the other cities nearby. Denver chose to make the neighboring cities into sanctuary cities by function.
    1
  492. The death count is magnitudes below March 2020. Case counts are the wrong metric to measure covid now.
    1
  493. This is a horrible idea. Cars already have kill switches and it is lenders that turn off cars and in some cases even when people bought the car outright.
    1
  494. DeSantis is partially right. Leftist policies are merely the tools. Liberal voters ruined San Francisco. Breed can not even have a proper public press conference in front of City Hall without a drug addict passing out in front of her meeting on video.
    1
  495. Modern hotel hallways are designed with the ADA in mind. How fat do you have to be to make the width of a wheelchair bound person seem normal!?
    1
  496. Let SF die. Stop paying taxes to fund liberal policies. I expect the next fight will be water rights. AZ increases population and chip manufacturing which is a national priority. Watch Congress modify CA's Colorado River water rights that will further threaten population growth in CA.
    1
  497. Just put these illegals in all that empty commercial space. There is plenty of room./s
    1
  498. The idiots in Oakland, CA also gave shit to the USMC for holding amphibious exercises on city shorelines. Let that sink in. OAKLAND! Liberals have gone insane.
    1
  499.  @TRAZ4004  Little Paris in Chinatown is better. Order the Bah Min with a crossoint bun.
    1
  500. Time for Japanese robots to take over hotel services like in Japan.
    1
  501. I disagree. These clowns identifying themselves as informed voters elected the woke policies. They need to deal with the consequences including paying for it.
    1
  502. "Stop all this liberal bullshit!" That is the succinct point.
    1
  503. How about not letting these illegals into the country in the first place?
    1
  504. Covid eviction moratoriums was always the test run for the real things.
    1
  505. Just put a fin grip.
    1
  506. Those progressive activists got exactly what they asked for. Why are they complaining about the unintended consequences?
    1
  507. I still love the fact these same liberal clowns who screamed the loudest for Defund the Police are now begging for National Guard intervention. That is peak stupid.
    1
  508. I interpret this data as either Seattle's policies are a failure since homelessness went up or the 40k estimate is to garner more funding. A physical count is still the best way. Auditors use physical evidence. Astronomers has to see the planet before it can be verified. Nobody simply infers someone's existence.
    1
  509. The term you are looking for is cognitive dissonance.
    1
  510. Remember when Newson mailed out $200-$300 visa cards prior to his recall? That was what he did with the one time covid surplus. Now he can not bribe voters this time around.
    1
  511. Let them rot. They voted for the progressives that got them in their current mess. If they wanted the problem solved, they would never have voted for them in the first place.
    1
  512. California is a walking violation of federal laws. Why is CA still part of the US when they want to run government like a banana republic?
    1
  513. It is not just prop 47. It is also progressive DAs like Boudin and Gascon who refuse to prosecute criminals.
    1
  514. The liberals voted for this garbage. They can live with the crime.
    1
  515. Money is money. Suck it up, plaintiff.
    1
  516. Because Gov Inslee is a crazy idiot. Stop voting for these lunatics!
    1
  517. Just shut down the retail stores in these cities. These liberal voters chose this.
    1
  518. So states are able to "deport" illegals. It is like the government can do the things they are suppose to do if they wanted to.
    1
  519. Lawyers that file these lawsuits need to be disbarred. A quadriplegic needing welding supplies. Uh huh.
    1
  520. Who comes up with this garbage!? Deescalation was also used for SF's high school in the Mission district. The school is on the verge of collapse. Students are assaulting and threatening teachers and getting replacements is next to impossible. The administration refuse to let teachers make police reports instead choosing mediation. The problem only got worse.
    1
  521. The Oregon state troopers need to refuse the request from Portland. It is only a matter of time before they are thrown under the bus at the alter of the woke ideology followed by being sued. If they value not being sent to prison, they need to stay away from Portland like everyone else.
    1
  522. Start increasing taxes on the liberal voters who elected pro sanctuary city leaders. They chose this. They will pay for it.
    1
  523. Adams is nowhere near bold. Trump has Adams by the proverbial balls with the ability to halt any DOJ investigation and pardon any federal crime that Adams is being persecuted for by the current Biden Administration.
    1
  524. Liberals: The recall was a waste of money! That $100m would have been better spent elsewhere. Like part of the $568 billion that Newsom wants to set on fire!? Should have recalled him in 2021 or voted him out in 2022.
    1
  525. The Chinese consulate in San Francisco got a car rammed into its lobby and had a knife wielding lunatic trying to stab people in their embassy lobby. I would say the Chinese commentary on San Francisco is rather toned down compared to our "right wing" reporting.
    1
  526. These liberal politicans have been waging a war on car ownership for decades. Only recently has technology allowed them to realize their ambitions. But make no mistake. They are absolutely NOT against car ownership as a whole. They are against YOUR car ownership.
    1
  527. This is why I stopped buying coffee from supermarkets. I buy mine from Costco.
    1
  528. The irony is being a mean President sends a message to illegals to stop coming. The build the Wall and stay in Mexico policies simply shows people our leaders take the issue seriously. ABC news interviewed an illegal that said they are crossing because Biden became President and he would never attempt a crossing if Trump were in charge.
    1
  529. Gender neutral toy section is the book and Lego sections.
    1
  530. SF just like every liberal city has a liberal voter problem. These people need to change their voting pattern or stop voting. That is the solution.
    1
  531. Carl Chan is an ass clown. He was attacked in Oakland years ago just after the BLM riots and he gave an interview where he did not want the criminal prosecuted, only receive social services. This guy is not qualified to criticize anyone about how criminals need to be prosecuted or victim rights. Chan needs to stop voting immediately because he is part of the problem.
    1
  532. Sorry, but 2/3 of the voters are the problem. Until that problem gets solved, CA will continue to go downhill.
    1
  533. We have plenty of gasoline in other states that are more than happy to send it to California. Newsom and the Democrats want the special blend that is only produced by California and South Korea. They want middle East oil that is refined in South Korea to be imported into California and refineries to incur the additional cost of storage. This is beyond asinine.
    1
  534. Liberal copium is one hell of a drug. SF voters are insane.
    1
  535. Shut down the store. The thieves will shift to other merchandise. Just look at Walgreens in SF. The thieves shifted to Target when Walgreens closed their stores.
    1
  536. I do not blame Boudin. He did not deceive anyone. He was ridiculously truthful during his campaign. He said he was going to go soft on crime during his campaign. He even said his campaign was because he was bitter his terrorist parents were locked up for murder. The SF voters who put Boudin in office bears ALL THE BLAME!
    1
  537. Liberals will only double down and blame conservatives. Although I am not sure they can name even one conservative in charge. There are probably none in Portland anyways. This is the same thing in San Francisco.
    1
  538. There are whole abandoned towns in CA with standing buildings RIGHT NOW! The whole town sold for $1m. If people really wanted to build homes for the homeless, they can start there for cheap land and no opposition.
    1
  539. Glad the perp's lung was not blown out by the shop owner./s
    1
  540. The liberals were always screaming that the poor pay all the taxes and the rich pay nothing. You mean to tell me that statement was BS this while time!?
    1
  541. These liberal clowns voted for this. Why are they bitching when they got exactly what they asked for?
    1
  542. Sending illegals to Portland and Chicago would be a war crime.
    1
  543. I disagree with comparing liberal cities to the Purge. In the Purge, anyone can legally shoot one another with near impunity. In blue cities, the law abiding get arrested for fighting back against the criminals. It is anarchotyranny.
    1
  544. I will believe it when I see it. I have very little doubt Democrat voters will continue voting Democrats regardless of what is said.
    1
  545. Even AZ that is run by a Democrat governor is deploying their national guard. That leaves New Mexico and California. I expect the illegals to head to those two states very soon.
    1
  546. 911, what is your emergency? My house is on fire! I need firefighters now! Also are all of them vaccinated for covid? If not, never mind. Yeah, I doubt people will give a crap about police or firefighters vaccination status.
    1
  547. What did she say?
    1
  548. Arrest the car owner for causing damage to public property due to the crash. This is the liberal utopia. Criminals are not responsible and law abiding citizens are victimized by the state.
    1
  549. Why are Portland voters even allowed to vote anymore? They are wielding their vote like a 3 yr old with a loaded gun. If they think reasonable gun control is legal, Portland needs reasonable voter control.
    1
  550. People wonder why gun ownership is necessary. The government fearing the people is what keeps them from doing tyrannical schennanigans like this.
    1
  551. These Portland voters live with the shit they made in their proverbial bed. They blamed Trump for the violence perpetuated by Antifa for almost a year! They denied the violence calling it "mostly peaceful". Insurance should pay nothing for the damages associated with the riots. These Portland voters should stay in Portland until they realize they are the problem!
    1
  552. SF is a lost cause. Let the city destroy itself. All the voters who voted for these progressive nonsense needs to stop voting immediately.
    1
  553. The old liberal projection trick. Look, my opponent is a Republican! It is amazing this woman claims she can see sound.
    1
  554. Mall puts up a sign saying "gun free zone". Expects criminals to follow the sign. If these gun grabbers want gun free zones, let them put up a sign on their own home. See how that it works out. I trust law abiding citizens carrying a firearm any day. It is tantamount to a poison pill for criminals thinking of committing crimes even if others choose not to carry a firearm.
    1
  555. This is how government sets your tax dollars on fire. I never want to hear how we need to increase taxes for services when those services are dumpster fires.
    1
  556. The typical progressive liberal response will be more gun control. Let's ignore Portland has stringent gun control like every Democrat run city.
    1
  557. The activists are terrified Trump is going to put a stop to their Homeless Industrial Complex gravy train. How dare the orange Nazi actually solve the homeless and drug addiction problem that these activists enabled to enrich themselves.
    1
  558. Let these people camp with their tents in front of these politicians' homes.
    1
  559. That was what the thieves did after the lockdowns eliminated the tourists. Theybstartes robbing Pac Height garages.

  560. ​ fladave99 Mills  Only if you itemize deductions and the amount exceeds 2% of AGI. Verify this rule still applies.
    1
  561. If Seattle voters elect this clown, it only reinforces the fact that the liberal voters are the problem.
    1
  562. For those liberals thinking the cities will recover, look at Detroit. Keep voting in these liberal lunatics and the progressive policies will continue the rot.
    1
  563. Those same thieves are hitting mom and pop stores, too. Blame the Corps for supporting BLM.
    1
  564. Kommifornia banned making crime illegal.
    1
  565. SF tried this in 2020. The BOS just approved the first $5m of payments for damages to the participating hotels.
    1
  566. Save some money. Stop shopping at Target. They can tuck their nuts in like the kids bathing suits they try to peddle.
    1
  567. San Francisco has NYC level gun control. Only the wealthy and well connected get a CCW.
    1
  568. It takes a special kind of stupid to think moving into a toxic cesspool like Portland is an excellent idea.
    1
  569. These Democrats have done everything EXCEPT repeal their sanctuary city status and close the Southern border.
    1
  570. Who was supporting BLM while they burned the cities and defunded police? Biden and Harris! They created the problem and now they want federal money to fix their problem!?
    1
  571. This happens in CA too because the side of freeways are state property. Cities have no jurisdiction there.
    1
  572. Trump's fault since the 80's!
    1
  573. SF needs to die and start over from scratch. Preferably without liberal voters.
    1
  574. When SSI started, almost nobody lived to 65 and each recepient was supported by 150 workers. Now it is 1 in 10 and shrinking. By design, it was never intended to be a retirement plan. Somehow it changed to that as life expectancies increased and it was never adjusted. Inflation will simply bankrupt SSI sooner.
    1
  575. The bloodbath was inevitable since the Democrats made it illegal for businesses to operate. Even if the moratoriums, the landlords will default and the banks will take over and evict.
    1
  576. For a city that relies on tourists, Honolulu's politicians sure are insane to let this problem grow. Just like the drug addicts robbing stores, Honolulu's economy needs to hit rock bottom when the tourists stop coming for people to realize they need to stop electing the same clowns. Luckily, Oahu is an island and people can not flee to another state easily. They need to stay and fix their problems or end up like Detroit.
    1
  577. That Berkeley economist is full of shit. Costco at the SFO airport is $4.35 per gallon for 87 octane and they are the cheapest if you pay the membership. At regular gas stations on the peninsula across the bay from Berkeley, it is already above $5 per gallon. Let's go Brandon!
    1
  578. And these liberal voters must not be allowed to leave the cesspool they created with voting for progressives. They must not be allowed to spread their cancer to other cities.
    1
  579. As large as CA is, 3/4 of the people live in San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles Area. As far as I am concerned, these liberal urban voters voted for this crap.
    1
  580. My theory is blue cities are the human equivalent of the Universe 25 mice experiment. Every conservative part of Washington, Oregon and California need to join Idaho while they have the chance.
    1
  581. Good! One less liberal progressive lunatic politician.
    1
  582. As always, I lay the blame on the voters who elected this clown. She did not seize power. The voters wanted this socialist lunatic. We need common sense voter controls.
    1
  583. Remember China knew drug addiction was a looming disaster and went to war with the British over opium addiction on their people. Fast forward 150 years and somehow we think enabling drug addiction is a good idea.
    1
  584. This is the correct answer for every West Coast city. The voters who chose left liberal politicians have no right to complain nor flee when the consequences of their vote bites them in the ass hard.
    1
  585. NYC takes a few hundred illegals in for a few months and all of a sudden, they warn of bankruptcy!? What have the border towns and states been experiencing for YEARS!?
    1
  586. Antifa does not need Roe v Wade to riot and loot. They can use any excuse.
    1
  587. Please arrest Gavin Newsom. The guy is in charge of the sanctuary state of CA.
    1
  588. Depends on your jurisdiction. There are some rare exceptions for evictions, so you will need to consult a lawyer.
    1
  589. So a Big Mac is a threesome.
    1
  590. The courts have rules the police are not obligated to respond to calls. But every American citizen without a violent felony record has a right to a gun. Exercise your rights.
    1
  591. The Portland city government actively supported the seige of their federal courthouse. As far as I am concerned, the voters of Portland seceded from the union in all but name.
    1
  592. Let them do it. Just treat it as a cost of doing business and then offset with any available federal funds. Then continue sending more illegal migrants. Use covid funds if necessary.
    1
  593. Liberals: They will use it to buy food. Trust me, bro!
    1
  594. I still remember Newsom using the state's supposed budget surplus as the reason why he should not be recalled and gave our tax money back to us as a brib...I mean "stimumlus". It worked. He kept his job. It never disappoints that nobody can fudge economics. You can manipulate markets in the short run but it always catches up to you sooner or later.
    1
  595. Every elected politician in SF was woke and took the knee to BLM. They supported the Defund the Police movement. Neither the politicans nor the voters have no right to complain about the lack of police.
    1
  596. Taxing unrealized capital gains is nothing more than a variation of a wealth tax. Imagine the mess a taxpayer will get into if an asset rises in value on Dec 31 and drops back down in January 1.
    1
  597. The irony is we already have laws dealing with fraud. Real estate transactions require it to be in writing. The fact that cops are selectively siding with squatters using tenant rights laws is the problem. These are corrupt cops.
    1
  598. No help should be sent to Portland. They did nothing when rioters burned the city in 2020. Now two years later when crime and lawlessness has reached the tipping point, they beg for help!? The liberal woke voters need to start repenting by removing every liberal politician in Portland city government first before receiving any help.
    1
  599. The father needs to go to prison for bringing his child to a terrorist event.
    1
  600. Every Democrat politician blames covid and Trump. We do not see these problem in Texas and Florida. These dysfunctional cities need to enforce their existing laws and reopen the economy.
    1
  601. In person is still just better if you need to go over lots of details. Also I am sick on working off a 15 inch screen at the kitchen table. I went back to the office a few days a week even during the lockdown. It was just more productive and it was also for my personal sanity.
    1
  602. The argument from these liberal clowns are "nobody needs Algebra" or "nobody needs to divide with a polynomial", these are the same idiots that have never used a formula in an Excel spreadsheet. These fundamental math skills are the bare minimum to operate in today's workforce if you want to make a living wage.
    1
  603. Sean is being nice. These clowns are not "unserious". They are batshit crazy!
    1
  604. You have it wrong on this one. The blame is on the voters of Portland. Mayor Ted did not seize power with a military coup. He was elected into power by woke virtue signaling voters. Nothing will change until the majority of Portland voters have this epiphany. Do not hold your breath. They still think all of this is Trump's fault to this day.
    1
  605. When people coughed on others during covid, the FBI got involved for bioterrorism. Clearly flinging bacteria laced poop at people would count as bioterrorism.
    1
  606. As a Chinese person, I am very disappointed with the Asian community as a whole. I can not understand the willful hypocrisy of most Asians supporting Democrats that gut our schools in their zealous quest for "equity" instead of merit and their support of BLM while those same people burn our communities down while violating their own lockdown rules. Rules for thee but not for me and liberalism makes people immune to covid. As long as Asians keep voting against our own interests, I see such protests as hollow virtue signaling.
    1
  607. Time to send in the Empire to clear the rebels.
    1
  608. Unless that fog is chlorine gas, it will not deter criminals.
    1
  609. NFP that were created to solve a problem should naturally disappear. The goal is to SOLVE problems, not perpetuate them. Their money should go down, not up. If the need increases, you failed.
    1
  610. I am pretty sure you can not get more than 100%, but knowing the woke crowd, they will claim 100% is a spectrum.
    1
  611. Information that benefits the Democrats = facts Information that challenges the Democrats = misinformation
    1
  612. Please no. Shanahan is a leftist progressive. She has some good ideas but overall not what we need for saving the state of California. Someone like Larry Elder is what we need. We can not afford any more progressive policies.
    1
  613. The solution is to lift lockdowns so people can get back to work so they can support themselves.
    1
  614. Send these illegals to Democrat voters homes. They voted for this. They need to be accountable for their vote.
    1
  615. Suing the cops when they deal with violent people is lunacy. Portland is like Gorman in Aliens 2 taking everyone's magazines as they enter the Xenomorph nest. See how effective harsh language will be, Portland.
    1
  616. But they were mostly peaceful! /s
    1
  617. The wealthy will be fine. It is everyone else who wants a mortgage that can not get mortgage insurance to qualify for a loan.
    1
  618. Liberals confuse business thriving in spite of liberal policies, not because of it. They are confusing correlation with causation. Have them name the liberal policies that directly contribute to the city's success. In CA, the weather is touted as a factor even though it has nothing to do with liberal policies.
    1
  619. I blame the NY voters for this. They elected morons.
    1
  620. Someone is afraid they will take their tax dollars them when they flee. Portland is done. The root of the problem are the voters. Tell the liberal voters to stay in the cesspool they created.
    1
  621. The Portland voters are the cause of the drug addicts problem on their streets. Nothing will change until these voters stop voting. They need to stop using their assault votes. Portland needs reasonable vote controls including regular testing, background checks, fees and insurance when their vote causes nuisances and damages.
    1
  622. The SF voters are still high on their copium. They still think these business exits are minor and the economy will be fine because everyone wants to be here for the weather. SF voters are batshit crazy.
    1
  623. Jordan Peterson explained in one of his university lectures that if you can not determine the motivation of a person from their actions, work backwards. Look at the outcome and infer back to the motivation. Liberals, just like the Nazis, want to sow as much chaos as possible. That is the definition of evil.
    1
  624. Inslee copied California. This policy will only end in disaster.
    1
  625. How about STOP ELECTING THESE PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRATS INTO OFFICE!? They clearly are not doing their jobs of running their cities and counties!
    1
  626. Meanwhile they continue to make gun ownership by law abiding citizens more and more difficult.
    1
  627. Are you saying you are sometimes unreasonable?
    1
  628. Build their own ports or rent smaller ships that can use other shallow water ports.
    1
  629. Every business in these blue cities need to GTFO. That is the only way for the Democrat voter to realize the error of their vote.
    1
  630. Portland voters want liberal policies.
    1
  631. Did this woman vote for those criminal sympathizing politicians? If so, try not voting for them instead of having to personally defend your store from looters.
    1
  632. The liberals that support the Democrats should stay put in California. They are not allowed to leave after they voted in candidates that push disasterous policies.
    1
  633. 81 million voters were wrong. The issue is not about running out. It is diesel prices increasing to the point of affecting everything from food to Christmas merchandise. That will increase inflation to the point people can not afford to buy anything, even diesel.
    1
  634. If wahhabism islam is allowed to exist as they tell people to kill others to enter heaven, then I am not sure people can criticize Satanism. But let the local parents decide if that is appropriate for their school. It will probably not fly anyways.
    1
  635. SF tax assessor can slap a lien on those taxpayers. Good luck with that. These lunatics should have not voted in the progressives in the first place. They got exactly what they voted for.
    1
  636. The liberals are conflating drug addicts living near their drug dealer and homeless services to low to no skilled people working fast food jobs. These issues are vastly different and require different solutions. In fact, some solutions are not the responsibility of the government but the individual.
    1
  637. Yup. Drilling permits does not guarantee drilling a well automatically find a productive oil deposit. 90% of permits are duds. Other permits are also needed to build the roads and pipelines to get that oil to market.
    1
  638. $1.4b will not solve homelessness. We know this because Los Angeles spends $1b ANNUALLY on the "homeless" and the problem got worse! We need to stop mislabeling this problem and call it what it is: a drug addict problem. Start enforcing the laws We have and if these people refuse treatment, send them to jail.
    1
  639. How are these homeless people passing background checks for ccws? In gun control Portland?
    1
  640. You have to be insane to start a business in San Francisco. The government hates you. The people hate you. They actively go out of their way to bankrupt you. Stay away from San Francisco.
    1
  641. This is the Californiancation of an enclave in Texas. You Texas residents need to tell those transplants in Austin to leave their liberal politics at the state border. Otherwise tell those leeches to come back to California to fix the mess they voted for.
    1
  642. There are no survivable business, only ones that have not been robbed yet. As soon as the easier targets leave the state, the thieves will come for you.
    1
  643. Portland needs common sense voter control against the assault votes.
    1
  644. If you want to make Asians riot, nullify all of their hard earned SAT scores. Millbrae, CA did this due to a district screw up. You have never seen so many angry parents and kids ready to riot.
    1
  645. When those 4 of 10 finally leave, California will be a solid blue stronghold. But it will be overrun with crime, high taxes and over regulation. Detroit and New Orleans were once the center of industry and even they fell. San Francisco and Los Angeles will become the same shadow of its former self.
    1
  646. The homeless are inherently outside. They are safer from covid than the average person being forced to locked indoors.
    1
  647. I want SF to impose this tax even on illegal in law units. SF is notorious for putting landlords into legal binds by forcing in law units to be torn down while making landlords pay penalties for evictions from their own orders. Things need to hit batshit level crazy before it will get better.
    1
  648. I am sure these moving plans were in the works for a while. Online sales is the future and they need to downsize. Covid and the riots simply accelerated the plans.
    1
  649. Oh the criminal sympathizing demographic will be offended!
    1
  650. San Francisco is woke clown world. This city in particular is a lost cause. Do not move here. If any politician trying to run for national office held a political position in San Francisco, DO NOT VOTE FOR THEM!
    1
  651. LA used their hotels. Portland uses their office space. These properties are going to get wrecked. I guess the office workers can not come back even if they wanted to.
    1
  652. F that shit! No sane person will take a job with the Portland PD! It is worse than suicide. Watch Portland legalize gun violence. That will solve gun crime. /s
    1
  653. As long as these protesters are gathering peacefully, they can do whatever they want. Unfortunately, I don't believe them based on last year's experience.
    1
  654. I recommend everyone watch Newsom's inaugural speech. The guy is projecting onto the red states every offense the Democrats have committed, including Newsom himself.
    1
  655. They are praying for more deaths. Dead people do not have medical bills. Only private funeral costs.
    1
  656. This is a game of attrition between getting to the 2030 census to count these illegals for congressional appropriation and running out of tax money and NYC burning to the ground. Let's see which situation pans out.
    1
  657. After those thicker bags get dirty, I just use them as garbage bags in the same way I used thinner bags when I got them for free. So yes, I can confirm I am not recycling them. CA lawmakers can kiss my a**.

  658. Anything coming out of San Francisco is toxic. Just say no to anything coming out of San Francisco.
    1
  659. Who thought Defund the Police had consequences.
    1
  660. The liberal SF voter got exactly what they voted for. Do not feel sorry for this clown show of a city. If you have SF refugees move into your neighborhood, shame them to make sure they never vote for the same destructive policies that they ran from.
    1
  661. Remember when liberals claimed they could secede and be better off without the rest of the country? Yeah, this experiment is not working out so well.
    1
  662. Foreign nationals illegally entering into America and attacking US citizens. Sounds like military intervention is in order.
    1
  663. In a good year, restaurants have a 5% profit margin. I am not sure 25% capacity will even cover fixed costs.
    1
  664. Leftists firebombed a Catholic church in Wisconsin due to the church's position on abortion. So no, churches are no longer sacred.
    1
  665. I disagree, Sean. If these progressive lunatics especially the judges want to be soft on crime, they need to experience the consequences of their rulings. Why should only the courthouse get county protection? These judges need to be equally a crime victim as much as any progressive Seattle voter.
    1
  666. Remember the tantrum SF government threw when Elon put a few mats in the Twitter office for employees to sleep? And they want to convert office to housing!?
    1
  667. Good. We want the drug users in San Francisco to leave for greener pastures.
    1
  668. The thing is rural counties calling the shots would not affect the cities very much. It is the blue cities that think they know better than the people and dictate every facet of life to the people that impedes the rural counties.
    1
  669. These liberal lunatics are coming back to vote for the progressives that made life miserable.
    1
  670. Drug dealers who commute from East Oakland into SF and illegals doing the cartels work.

  671. Living among the homeless is a lifestyle choice. So 10% of the rich are dumb as dirt.
    1
  672. We knew the Feds were going to raise interest rates and stop buying bonds. How long did we think this was going to continue? Only Biden thinks the world is candy and unicorns.
    1
  673. Portland is so progressive they are reinventing the police. The voters in Portland are morons.
    1
  674. Save a life at any cost! No, not THOSE lives.
    1
  675. Liberals love to conflate legal immigrants with illegals. They got exactly what they asked for. This is why using law abiding legal immigrants to justify illegals breaking the laws is racist.
    1
  676. Ask them who they voted for first. If they elected people in office that are criminal sympathizers, do not let them off the hook for their leases. These people do not get to shit on the collective bed and then run away from the consequences of their vote.
    1
  677. These liberals love the Swedish model. The Swedish model imposes regressive income taxes and they are touted as a success.
    1
  678. Fauci is now saying exactly what Trump was saying from the beginning. The biggest mistake Trump did was not firing Fauci.
    1
  679. School district still sucks. Not worth it.

    1
  681. This is not petty crime. This is part of organized crime. The liberal narrative is a lie!
    1
  682. Now it makes sense why Democrats want open borders. Create the crisis to ram through work authorization for illegals.
    1
  683. CNN wrote an article trying to cover for the crime in SF. It was covid, not crime that caused businesses to close. They are still coving for their woke buddies. SF needs to die. They voted for this crap.
    1
  684. The liberals that voted Democrat in SF need to STAY PUT!. They voted for this and do not have the right to run after sheeting the bed.
    1
  685. Remember San Jose used ccw laws to solicit bribes up to $50k. NYC only issued ccw to celebrities and the well connected people. Only corrupt politicians thinks "may issue" ccw laws are constitutional.
    1
  686. When the border states were begging for help to stop the flow of illegals, the liberal clowns called them racists and bigots and elected a bigger clown that signaled to the world our Southern border is wide open. The blue cities and states that thought they would not feel the consequences of their vote need to take responsibility for their choices.
    1
  687. Liberals kept saying only the military or police should have guns. Then the police turned around and took the military guns. It is like the gun control argument was complete BS.

  688. When you elect communists, you get communists.
    1
  689. Blame the voters. Those politicians did not seize power. They were elected by insane voters.
    1
  690. It is not so much of checks as much as it is tenant rights exceed landlord rights. One wrong tenant can financially destroy years of profit for a small landlord in San Francisco. There are cases where tenants were paid $50k to leave. Some people would rather leave the house vacant than rent it out.
    1
  691. Cognitive dissonance. Four Boxes Diner channel did a segment on how Zuckerberg spent $43 m on security for 2 years as he donated money for anti 2A groups to lobby for laws that take away people's right to bear arms.
    1
  692. This lawsuit will go nowhere. The entire liberal pro Antifa government of Portland and the state of Oregon will have it dismissed. They allowed rioters to firebomb a federal courthouse for half a year. What is one shooting of the opposition party?
    1
  693. The voters wanted to defund the police and cut criminals loose. Why are the people surprised? Oh wait, they vote blue.

  694. How does this kind of money get to pass through the banking system? Isn't buying narcotics illegal?
    1
  695. I think it is a war crime to send people into the Chicagistan and DC war zones. Iraq is safer.
    1
  696. I think destroying the tourism industry in Los Angeles may be the goal.
    1
  697. Don't blame Mayor Ted. He did not stage a coup to get into office. The Portland voters chose this clown to destroy their home. If Portland is to be saved, Portland voters who voted for progressive candidates need to stop voting. They are the problem.
    1
  698. Does anyone think a single family home is worth less or more than a multi unit property? This law will drive up the cost of all properties in California.
    1
  699. It already happened when the sacrificial tourists disappeared during the covid lockdowns. Pac Heights homes started getting robbed.
    1
  700. Those poor people are so hungry they are eating nail polish. The SF Board of Supervisors should pass a law requiring businesses to give groceries to shoplifters so they do not starve. That will solve this problem of systemic racism.
    1
  701. It would be incredible if you could get some interviews with some illegals. Ask them about their motivations. People need to hear it from the source to believe it.
    1
  702. "Black face of white supremacy" You can not make up this ridiculous shit from the liberal media.
    1
  703. ​ @assymcgee7217  Not according to the courts. They ruled the police has no obligation to protect the public. May 2020 proved this when they let rioters have their way for months and 911 dispatchers told callers to "fend for themselves".
    1
  704. What lenders are making loans for this nonsense?

  705. What liberals do not understand is tax free only works when businesses make profits to tax. If they are losing money from theft, no amount of tax breaks are going to incentivize businesses to stay in Portland.

  706. That bombastic Orange ULTRA MAGA Man warned we should not shut our economy down for the sniffles. Those Democrat Governors shut down for two years screwing up our supply chains and this created a perfect storm of materials shortage, labor shortage and product recalls. Come midterms, remember who was screeching "save even one life at any cost" leads to babies starving.

  707. This is what happens when you have a huge portion of the population suffering from the Dunning Kreuger effect. These liberal voters love to claim conservatives are uneducated hicks but do not bother to vote on policy and not party.
    1
  708. Why do Seattle voters vote these lunatics into office!? Are you voters in Seattle insane!?
    1
  709. The solution is to cut homeless services entirely in San Francisco. Use all that money to drug rehab, police enforcement and obtaining court warrants for conservatorship. Arrest drug dealers and charge them with murder for distributing poison that leads to deaths. You know you would go to prison if you sold rat poison for consumption. Do the same for drug dealers. Give the drug users a chance before a judge. Show up and make the choice of prison or rehab. If they skip their court date, it is off to prison immediately. Budget the money to go DOWN with each progressive year and zero funding at year 5.

  715. "criminals should be nicer" Liberals are morons.

  716. No sane person would take a job as a cop with any blue city especially cop hating San Francisco. The city leaders and voters will not hesitate to throw the police under the bus when they feel like virtue signalling.

    1
  721. Remember 2/3 of CA voters thought Newsom was doing a fine job when he released 75k felons from prisons to "save a life at any cost". You people got exactly what you voted for.

  722. This guy embezzled $30k and defends it but Trump gets prison for recording his own money in a GL account the Democrats do not like.
    1
  723. Forget guns. I want to ban assault votes. These are votes being wielded by liberal morons like a 3 yr old who found their parent's guns. Liberals just like these clowns suing for damages their causes inflicted to society.

  725. With all the crime and loony liberal policies, the exodus should bring down prices. But good luck getting a mortgage with an affordable rate, insurance or enjoy your home without it being robbed.

  726. The need for more cops is merely a symptom of the greater problem of a breakdown of morality. Thomas Sowell made this point about BLM and Antifa being made up of entitled criminal sympathizers.

  727. If these people find freedom offensive, maybe they are the crazy ones.
    1
  728. Sue the Seattle voters that elected woke leaders that wanted to defund the police and refuse to enforce laws. If these victims were one of these liberal voters, they need to have their lawsuits tossed out of court.
    1
  729. Read the book San Fran-sicko by Schellenberger. The progressive voters got exactly what they asked for. They either accept the consequences or vote these progressives out.

  730. Everyone on the planet knows the US southern border is a joke. Even Ukrainians are crossing down there and applying for asylum.
    1
  731. This is how you know CA are run by lunatics. The politicians are so woke, they are on the side of criminals. The only way to save California is a complete purge of all liberal bureaucrats from every level of office.

  732. At this point, why is Walgreens even letting customers into the store? Just have a bullet proof counter like the banks and make people pay at a kiosk before handing over the merchandise.

  734. Your enemies are the 2/3 of CA voters.
    1
  735. We blame the rats. There are huge angry ones in NYC city hall.
    1
  736. Liberals: Clearly it is the Republicans fault. We need to throw more money at the same tactic. That will solve the problem.
    1
  737. The irony was Trump offered federal help to SF for their homeless and drug addict problem. Mayor Breed told him to F off BEFORE COVID! There is no one to blame but liberal voters who elected imbeciles into SF government.
    1
  738. These liberal clowns can not keep blaming the covid pandemic for their problems. Valley Fair in San Jose is booming. Stonestown Galleria in San Francisco is booming. Downtown San Jose has approximately 15% commercial vacancy. This is specifically a progressive Democrat criminal coddling problem.
    1
  739. Liberals doubling down on stupid ideas. You know what is better than giving out free shit? Giving out free shit with no strings attached. This is squarely on the Portland voters. I hope the other Oregon counties join Idaho to get away from this lunacy.

  743. Shipping traffic is already diverting to the East Coast. Union Pacific has too many robberies in Los Angeles and Gascon refuses to prosecute. He blames the railroads for not increasing security along its routes. The port of LA is now trying to promote Long Beach. It is amazing the downward spiral in one year from woke policies.
    1
  744. The liberal voters thought their progressive policies were the cause of the cities' success, not in spite of it. Now the social experiment has proven them wrong.
    1
  745. This is not new. Gangsters got arrested tax evasion instead of murder. Unlike a criminal act, tax evasion is guilty until proven innocent.
    1
  746. E.) When the liberal voters of SF finally realize they are the cause of all the crime problems with their vote and stop voting while letting actual adults vote for policies and politicians that prosecute and jail criminals.
    1
  747. The WFH crowd thought they somehow won the jackpot when covid lockdowns were enacted. Why did they think this arragement would somehow last?
    1
  748. Liberals love to claim their states are the wealthiest compared to red states. The caveat is liberal government functions in spite of the ideas, not because of them. The revenue masks the mistakes. In the private sector, new ideas are funded by investors. If ideas fail, their funding is cut and the idea dies. Only 1 in 10 ideas pan out and succeed spectacularly. Liberal ideas in government do not have a funding problem nor do they get cut if they fail. The politicians double down. Now apply the liberal idea failure rate and this explains why liberal policies in government is bad policy.
    1
  749. It is also a very dangerous justification for disastrous policies. Just look at what happened when they used that same excuse to lock down the economy for 3 years.

  755. Why is Wheeler trying to hurt "mostly peaceful protesters"? It is not like they are rioting, burning and looting, right?
    1
  756. Oh Sean, you optimistic naive man. SF financial district has a shit ton of tents. They are along Market St, on the Embarcadero, Mission St, in the parks adjacent to the Embarcadero center and sprinkled all over the financial district streets.
    1
  757. The cherry on this shit sundae is the planned closing of the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant which supplies 6% of California's electricity. CA also imports 40% of its electricity which is generated by natural gas and coal. Liberals are lunatics. No sane person can think this is a good idea.
    1
  758. Liberals kept saying "nobody will leave SF. It is the weather!" Delusional fools.

  759. There is a "No shit, Sherlock" somewhere in there.

  760. The fact you think Trump is a necessary evil tells me you still believe the lies from the mainstream media. Start by reading the full transcript of the Charlottesville press conference that was suppose to be about infrastructure and see how the media lied about Trump. Then tell us how much Trump thought there "nice people on both sides".
    1
  761. You mean mostly peaceful gathering.

  763. If I were Satan, I would disavow this gay Trans shit faster than Bud Light and Target. Imagine telling people you will turn gay if you went to hell. Everyone would stop committing sins. It would be bad for Hell's business.
    1
  764. As long as voters continue believing homelessness is what these drug addicts are suffering from, the problem will persist. The way I see it, the voters are the problem.
    1
  765. The only reason why Kasparian got her red pill suppository in her bloodstream was because her leftists buddies turned on her after she did not like being called a "birthing person". She was the one calling for Defund the police, cheering BLM and Antifa and supported the leftisr cause including lockdowns for over 2 years. She did not have a come to Jesus moment. The situation is not politically advantageous anymore.
    1
  766. Of course Cuomo needs to fudge the nursing home death count. He put infected patients into nursing homes that caused the increase in deaths in the first place!

  767. Seattle voted for this shit. There is nobody to blame but the voters.
    1
  768. The moment the liberal lunatics used language like "save a life at any cost", it was a huge red flag that a lot of bad ideas were going to be implemented regardless of actual science.
    1
  769. The union did not do a proper cost benefit analysis. If their demands exceeds the cost of doing business, then the logical solution is to close down.
    1
  770. The voters got EVERYTHING they asked for. Less cops, less rich people in the city, more progressive policies. They live with the consequences.
    1
  771. The insurance should not pay for damages from "mostly peaceful protesters".
    1
  772. At what point do these delusional business owners stop doing business in these blue cities? Maybe when insurance stops insuring?
    1
  773. Never vote for any politician who got their creds from San Francisco. The city's politics are toxic. Keep them out of public office. Do not let their politics spread like Monkeypox.
    1
  774. At this point, why have a storefront at all? It is basically equivalent to having a local shipping hub. Have a pickup counter and have people place an order with their phone.
    1
  775. These residents are not concerned one bit. If they really were concerned, they would stop voting for woke politicians. As long as they keep choosing clowns to run their government, these residents are simply virtue signaling.
