Every major Dem politician needs to realize that, in this environment, they can schedule a "speech to the nation," like Newsom did, and get tons of media coverage.
Just do it.

Unregulated free-market capitalism had the direct effect of encouraging US manufacturing companies to move their facilities to countries where labor and overhead costs were lower. You criticized the OP and said she was feeding Trumpism and conspiracy theories by stating the obvious results.
You're not responding to the point - the outsourcing of US manufacturing was a conscious effort by US companies to increase their bottom line. The push to outsource began in 1981 under Reagonomics and the lifting of regulations on manufacturing.
It's now applying to service industries as well - think your tax returns are actually being done by the large accounting firms you're hiring? Many are outsourced to India or the Phillippines for pennies on the dollar and marked up by the firms.
I'm not sure I understand your comment - international outsourcing was created during the Reagan era for US companies to increase their bottom line by paying less for domestic labor and parts. Basically killed domestic manufacturing. Are you saying that didn't happen?
I've had numerous tax clients receive notification that returns had been filed using their SSNs. Haven't seen this many in at least 5 years
You don't put an idiot savant in charge of changes in an organization based on one of his many blind spots.
What's really sad about this is the states that will suffer the most are those without the tax base and income to protect themselves. If CA & NY didn't ay into the Fed system to help LA & KY, we prob wouldn't need much help from FEMA but LA & KY would disappear
the thing is, none of that water ended up anywhere near Los Angeles — because that’s not how Central California’s water system works. fuckity-bye, water! farmers were depending on that water to grow crops this summer — and now it’s gone. wasted for a photo op, so Donny could pretend he’d accomplished something. you’re welcome, California!

He can if no one stops him. And no one is stopping him -sigh-
If an action is illegal or unconstitutional and no one bothers to enforce, what's the difference? He's done "illegal" again and again because the word has become meaningless.

Who else is really looking forward to not watching the Inauguration?

An image from the sky showing the entirety of Malibu, Pacific Palisades, and part of Santa Monica on fire all the way down to the ocean.
This is PCH right now. Just northeast of where I used to live. In 13 years of living there, Santa Monica was never once evacuated. It has been now.
I have no words.
I feel a Los Angeles county tax filing extension coming on...
It's the algorithm. Bluesky is catching up, but not quite there yet
I thought this went way back to Nixon

Lots of people are about to be really mad that price of eggs goes up but they can’t get a 2nd job because they can’t afford childcare and when they do finally get the eggs they get E Coli because there’s no FDA but can’t go to the doctor because they got kicked off their health plan. #FAFO

Hey can we get the ability to "Like" and emoji individual shares? Soon?
How quickly they've forgotten the ICE raids from 7 years ago! And the insanity at airports during the Muslim bans? The Visa revocations? Nah, can't happen again.
Maybe not quite yet.
