ChatGPT. So, Ben, not entiely "wiped out"
"In 2019, Senator Kamala Harris was often identified as one of the more liberal members of the U.S. Senate. Her policy positions and legislative proposals generally aligned with progressive priorities, including advocating for Medicare for All, climate action, and criminal justice reform.
Her voting record and public statements positioned her to the left on many issues compared to her colleagues, though the label of "most liberal" can be subjective and dependent on the specific issues or metrics being considered. For example, other senators like Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren also had strong progressive records and might have been considered more liberal on certain issues.
Overall, Harris was a prominent voice in the Senate pushing for progressive change, which was reflected in her campaign platform during her run for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020." - ChatGPT

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) utilizes non-competitive hiring practices to meet certain goals related to inclusion and diversity. Here's how this works:
Schedule A Hiring Authority: The FAA employs this authority to hire individuals with disabilities without the need for competitive procedures. This is part of a broader federal effort to increase the representation of people with disabilities in the workforce. The FAA specifically targets individuals with "severe" or "targeted" disabilities, which include conditions like hearing, vision impairments, missing extremities, various forms of paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability, and dwarfism.
Veterans' Preference: The FAA also uses non-competitive hiring for certain veterans, particularly those with service-connected disabilities of 30% or more. This helps in fulfilling goals to support military veterans and increase diversity within the agency.
Direct Hire Authority: While not exclusively for inclusion, this authority allows the FAA to hire quickly for certain positions where there is a critical need or shortage, which can indirectly support diversity by opening up opportunities that might not be as accessible through traditional hiring routes.
On-the-Spot Hiring: For both veterans and individuals with disabilities, some positions allow for immediate hiring if the candidate meets all qualifications, which is part of the FAA's strategy to meet diversity and inclusion goals.
The rationale behind these practices includes:
Meeting Federal Mandates: The FAA, like other federal agencies, is subject to laws like the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which mandates affirmative action for the hiring of individuals with disabilities.
Fostering a Diverse Workforce: By employing non-competitive hiring, the FAA aims to create a workforce that reflects the diversity of the nation, which is seen as beneficial for innovation, problem-solving, and serving a diverse public.
Addressing Underrepresentation: Certain groups, including those with disabilities, have historically been underrepresented in federal employment. Non-competitive hiring helps address these disparities.
However, these practices are managed with an eye toward maintaining the rigorous safety and qualification standards necessary for aviation. Here's how inclusion and safety are balanced:
Qualification Standards: Even under non-competitive hiring, candidates must meet all relevant qualifications for the job. For safety-critical positions, this might mean extensive training, medical evaluations, and other rigorous standards.
Reasonable Accommodations: The FAA provides accommodations where possible to ensure that employees with disabilities can perform their duties, but these accommodations do not compromise safety.
The use of non-competitive hiring practices for inclusion goals has been a point of contention, particularly following incidents like the 2025 crash near Washington D.C., where critics questioned if these practices might affect safety.

@bnic9471 The Orthodox are mostly on Fairfax Blvd below the Hollywood Hills, I was Bar Mitzvah'd at Chabad across from Cantor's Jewish Deli on Fairfax. That sounds like where you were ar. The "Brentwood" area is father to the West, closer to Santa Monica. My cousin, a different one, currently works at Warner Bros in Burbank. My step-mom was president of our California Democratic Club and delegate to the 1980 Dem Convention. California has been captured by the Marxists, we are no longer a classic, progressive liberal State. Harris will win here with a +15 or better margin . You have a better chance to swing the vote than I do.
"Brentwood" is no joke, it's really a power center, my nieces went to private school there with the daughters of former Secretary of Treasury, Steven Mnuchin. It's where the entertainment industry live and party with the rich politicos. Lots of fundraising goes on there.
Most don't know about Tim Walz's connection to Wellstone Action, named after Senator Paul Wellstone, someone next door to your state, and few know the progressive history of Wisconsin, either. American Civics isn't taught much anymore. The Marxists don't want to be "burdened by the past".

@Malachor8091 Endorsement is one thing, many don't do that for political reasons. Barr, Pompeo, even Gen McMasters not "endorsing" but are voting for him. Pompeo was CIA director then Sec of State, perhaps the best cabinet choice Trump made, but late in the game. Trump faced a soft-coup by people like FBI Comey even before he sat at the resolute desk.
I'm a California Dem. Trump is an exaggerator and clown, but Pelosi, Schiff, and the DNC never supported the office, and when Pelosi tore up the State of the Union address, I switched to be against the DNC and those complicit in MS Legacy Media. My concerns have proven out. The true fascists are on the woke/left. Trump/Vance 2024.

@JJRM8 What "warming". The "dry" is an 01, rated Moderate by US Drought Monitor, I checked. I live on the coast, it's been exceptionally cool since February of last year with deep fog banks, very deep this last month when the high surf hit at Sunset and PCH.
Our weather oscillates with ENSO. The high winds are normal, although a little late this season. The native plants have adapted to the wind and fire, Manzanita requires it to propagate, and have done so since before humans arrived. "Warming" had nothing to do with it, it's more connected to population and direct human activity.
The total global temp may reduce temps in some areas of the globe while heating up others. It's a mean temp, not localized. Over the past century, the global average temperature has increased by about 1.2 degree. That did not cause this fire.
The predictions have an error rate so high I would not make plans based on them. Check out Bjorn Lomborg and the Copenhagen Center.
