Saw some posts that are calling this “human trafficking.”
Have to admit I chuckled at the flight to Martha’s Vineyard.
Let me get this straight: The feds allow people into border states and so the border states facilitate (not mandating) transportation to other states. I see no issue here. I could imagine that there’s some interstate commerce violation, but I’m not sure.
The politics of this are, frankly, kinda mean but brilliant. How is it any different from bussing folks to a supreme court judge’s house?

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)I always thought it was amazing that I got to know a few relatively conservative women at Stanford given how few there are statistically speaking. To run that gauntlet and not come out a complete liberal is impressive.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)I’m sorry this hits so close to home. It’s amazing to me that someone can escalate from “workplace bullying” to murder so quickly. I get that his political ambitions were trashed but he didn’t deserve them. Tragic, tragic story for German, who appears to have fought the good fight for a long time.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)This is nuts. The ACTUAL elected official he was investigating, a guy named Telles, appears to be the murderer. Guy did it himself it would appear.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)in a region where you basically can’t built without tens of thousands of dollars in environmental “studies” funding friends of the government the government allows human waste to flow to the bay?
Your tax dollars at work.

a tragedy that is happening in almost every institution in America. Can’t pass the test? Ditch the test.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)I do agree that our kids are way beyond me in education. But their work ethic absolutely sucks. I love my kids and think they will do ok in life, but am shocked at how willing today’s youths are to just sit around and do nothing.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)This one is perplexing to the point of requiring conspiracy theories (your Russian jab).
However, what an awful story. How much duress must a man be under to take such action? I saw the ny post article on this when it first came out and was shocked. For a senior executive to be this far gone and still functioning in role is morbidly impressive.
Peace to his loved ones. This was the awful story of the weekend.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)I agree with btd that EV’s are becoming the more attractive consumer item. I don’t think superiority of driver experience being in favor of ICE’s will last long.
I fear for the power grid. I can envision a day when EV’s are software programmed to only charge on certain days and to only give the driver a certain amount of charge by regulation. Think water rationing. It will be easy with Tesla’s over the air update model.
It will be just one more little nick in the tree of freedom.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Housing has a long way to drop. Maybe 15% on average but possibly 50 percent in some locales. There has been a lot of cash out there. Rises in rates, burn off of the fed balance sheet, high inflation on consumer goods, and an unsteady stock market all factor in.
Waiting for the next bailout with 3.5 percent unemployment.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)This is entirely predictable. When the governing party sides with outlaws and anarchists against the police, what do you expect? The real sad part is that property and violent crimes are likely up more than the stats because why bother calling the police?
