Everything points to the fact that he did it.

That poor defense lawyer, forced to dance around like that. He surely knew how ridiculous and far fetched his arguments sounded.

Between the fake Facebook account with records of buying what sounds like a fairly unique bike, and the Google searches? I’m not 100% certain, but any doubts I have are unreasonable in light of the overwhelming evidence.

Hurry up chucklefucks, get out there and pay your stupid tax! Bonus points for holding up the line, during the afternoon rush, at an already busy gas station.

halfempty , in California governor vetoes bill offering unemployment pay to strikers
@halfempty@kbin.social avatar

I'm honestly surprised that Newsom did this veto. What a slap in the face to his constituent base!

wahming ,

Why? The other comments list a bunch of perfectly good reasons for this veto

TowardsTheFuture , in California governor vetoes bill offering unemployment pay to strikers

In rejecting the bill, Newsom noted that the state’s unemployment trust fund is already nearing $20 billion in debt.

“Now is not the time to increase costs or incur this sizable debt,” he wrote in a message explaining his veto.

Yup makes sense. The title could mention this at all. Knew there had to be some reason, because it’s stupid to do that with him posturing for president in the next run. I’d rather him have vetoed it and said if you want this passed then it needs to include further funding for the unemployment fund.

You read the article?!? This place really isn’t like Reddit at all.

TowardsTheFuture ,

Honestly I usually don’t HAVE to here, as often it’s posted in a summary that does a pretty good job. Not always though.

DoomBot5 ,

I don’t recommend you read the other comments then.

Sharkwellington ,

I really like when someone pastes the article in the post text or comments for this reason. Some people just don’t want to have to go to an external website, but would read the article if it were in front of them.

sailingbythelee ,

Also, one gets the feeling that the public would experience the negative effects of non-stop strike action, entirely paid for by the very taxpayers who would be negatively affected. This would become very, very unpopular. Not only that, but there are FAR less publicly disruptive policies that could achieve the same end goal of giving workers more power. Stronger labor boards with worker-friendly policies, mandatory arbitration, expandied union rights…there are so many other ways to give workers power.

Or am I missing something? I must be missing something. Otherwise, how did it get to the governor’s desk in the first place?

Ensign_Crab , in [USA] Massive emergency alert test scheduled to hit your phone on Wednesday. Here's what to know.

Cool. Another alert that will make it more likely that I’ll ignore an actual alert.

My phone keeps sending me amber alert/silver alert messages from the other side of the state. I live in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas. I get these alerts from El Paso. El Paso is closer to San Diego than it is to me. Las Cruces, just on the other side of the TX/NM border from El Paso, won’t get an alert but I will.

theodewere , in In France, workers build a castle from scratch the 13th century way
@theodewere@kbin.social avatar

Cylindrical towers of the castle have slits for shooting arrows, known as arrow loops, which are spaced to avoid dead angles. "These arrow loops are a bit like modern security cameras," says Preston. "They're a way of seeing out without being seen."

i love castles and keeps

I’ve never visited an authentic castle before but hopefully I will someday. They can be pretty spectacular though.

definitely go when you get a chance, they really are cool.. this one looks like a truly special place to visit though, i really want to see it and the people who have been working there for years..

Maybe someday I’ll be able to visit Europe. It isn’t in the cards right now but who knows what the future might bring.

Ejh3k , in California governor vetoes bill offering unemployment pay to strikers

If I strike, I get strike pay from my union day one of the strike. The government should not be paying for striking members.

killing his shot at president in one veto.

yeather ,

Let’s be real this won’t impact his presidency campaign at all.

Goo_bubbs ,

He’s still a better option than Biden or Trump.

cabron_offsets ,

Yeah, no way bruh. I’m independent and there’s zero chance I’d vote repub, ever. Newsom isn’t perfect, but I’d take him over any traitor republican shitcunt, any day.

luckyhunter ,

I was thinking this is a stepping stone. Unions don’t get to strike and also take government unemployment funding. pick one.

artisanrox , in California governor vetoes bill offering unemployment pay to strikers
@artisanrox@kbin.social avatar

Honestly tho, this is why unions have dues and memberships, rainy day funds and their own officers and treasury.

Unions are more than just '"walking out".

Cleverdawny ,

Yeah it’s literally called a strike fund

spark947 , in Auto loans could pose a bigger threat to young Americans than student loans. For the first time, the outstanding volume of auto loan debt just surpassed student loan debt.

What, thats crazy. I bought my car certified pre-owned, fully paid it off, and have been driving it for 8 years with hopefully another 8 more to go. I know car prices have been going out of control though, whats going on?

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

Harder and harder to do that. My goal was to buy a used car then finally a new electric car.

My 2012 pre-owned car was paid in cash for $7k about five years ago. And my goal was to save $25k cash, and trade this one in for a newish car.

My 2012 exact car can now be bought for $9k. And newer cars are now in the $40k range. AND they have shitty subscriptions for features.

SomeRandomWords ,

It’s wild when I was looking to do something similar and instead ended up buying a newish electric vehicle because it was about the same price as what I’d otherwise have gotten.

Slimy_hog ,

This is exactly what happened to me.

athos77 ,

Near the start of the pandemic, all the car rental agencies sold off a bunch of their cars because the cars weren't making money. And with the pandemic in swing, car companies were making less cars, because of health restrictions as well as supply chain issues. As the pandemic slowed down, car manufacturers weren't able to keep up with demand for new cars, and prices on used cars soared. Now manufacturers have decided they like the money flowing in like that and they've hiked their prices and are making fewer of the entry-level cars many people bought.
