Cuz he's a liberal. You can't be a liberal and not, on some level, think that the institutions we have are functional. His assumption is that having cops police cops will work so long as the right group of cops or the right mix of cops and civilian oversight is found, instead of challenging the basic idea that cops should handle all police work in the first place. Despite being a raging communist I don't really believe in police or prison abolition, but what we have in California is some kind of weird almost parallel government to the regular elected legislative kind that pretty much does whatever it wants. The only level where anyone has any oversight is the mayor/city council to the police department or, theoretically, the voters to the sheriff. But especially the state police can and do whatever they want without any consequences. So just letting these guys who are already largely outside the normal structure of society police themselves is an insane idea to try, and it only makes sense if you're idea if the world is we've already done the hard part and we just need to tweak things now.

So there's an oil spill off the coast of Orange County. I contacted both my state assemblymember and my state senator today, telling them that we need to shut down offshore drilling yesterday, and that every gallon of oil pumped out is going to pollute our atmosphere, our land, or our water, all to enrich the oil companies. It took two minutes, and hopefully it makes a bit of a difference. If you want to contact your reps too, you can find out who they are here and get links to their sites, which in turn have contact info.

isn't all of the offshore drilling done on federal leases? i remember trump threatening to approve new leases off the coast because it's federal jurisdiction. contacting state assembly and senate folks can't hurt, but i think local members of congress would be more likely to be able to directly act on the issue. white house would probably be the ones with the most power in this situation, but the least likely to actually care if you call or write a letter

Activists have been angry at Newsom for years for his issuance of drilling permits. He's signed off on something like 1,700 during his tenure, though I believe most or all of those are on land. As for the offshore drilling, I'm not sure how many are in state vs. federal waters, but the state could probably take action to end some of the leases that the existing platforms are operating on. And harassing your state legislators can sometimes get them to start leaning on the federal reps.

California Is Now the Only State In the CDC's Second-Lowest Tier for COVID TransmissionSFist posted:After leading the nation three weeks ago in becoming one of only three states to move out of the CDC's red tier indicating high overall COVID transmission, California is now the only state in the yellow or "moderate" tier.

The leak is from a federal platform. The state has jurisdiction over 3 platforms off the coast of Southern California. There are more platforms off the Ventura coast. I think there is a moratorium on new drilling on state controlled waters (3 miles off the coast). I am unsure if that applies to a redrill or if it is just a specific moratorium on a new hole.

Here in Orange County, we already have indoor dining, crowded stadiums, and packed retail. And mask mandates are not enforced. So, besides any possible pediatric spikes, I think levels are going to stay the same or decrease. And it will be incumbent on individuals (or their caretakers, minders, and guardians) to use masks and encourage others to do so as well. If you walk into most asian supermarkets around here, you will not see any maskless individuals (except one or two who as not asian). But if I walk into a Ralphs or Albertsons, I am usually the only masked person besides the employees.

Bay Area has everybody wearing masks inside (except for indoor dining where the general application of the rule seems to be wear your mask until you sit down at your table) and a lot still wearing them outdoors as well. Although there's some murmuring that the indoor mask mandate might get dropped relatively soon.

Masking in San Diego is 50/50 at best. The difference here is that almost none of the stores have updated their signs to require masks. They still have their "masks only required if unvaccinated" signs up, so a lot of people are still opting to forgo them.

dejoy is making a top notch job at making usps worse than fedex ground, the few times I have sent things over the past year sending it over usps takes always longer and costs more now somehow than ups. Letters are taking 2-3 weeks to arrive lmao I dread when I buy something online and shows a usps tracking code now, as it will take forever, gently caress you Biden for not firing the board, the cvountry I come from this is similar how they ended up privatizing the postal service, make it so horrible and expensive that people don't even notice when it gets privatized.

Maybe if you count wearing a mask as having a mask somewhere on their body, not counting for it actually covering their mouth and nose. The only places I've been in with near 100% masking are the little asian markets. Even the bougie markets have their little enclaves of people sitting around without masks on, drinking coffee or whatever. Rough estimate from Grocery Outlet, Walmart, Target, and Safeways is under 5% wearing N95 masks, 50% wearing cloth/surgical masks somewhat correctly, 30% wearing masks incorrectly, 20% unmasked. Special shout out to the only N95 I saw during a Target trip. That was being worn on the dude's chin. I stopped giving a poo poo about what other people are wearing, I have an N95 or P100 on whenever I leave my house. And I keep it on as long there's a possibility of sharing air a person outside my household. Yall can do whatever with your dicknosing, cloth masks, and rules lawyering a virus with technicalities. I'm using filters rated for this threat level, good luck with the magic charms and talismans. The foothills and rural areas are way worse. No masks, and had a dude yell WUHAN WUHAN WUHAN at my gf and I while we were walking on a sidewalk a few months ago, lol. jetz0r fucked around with this message at 21:35 on Oct 6, 2021 |

I made a pit stop through Bakersfield last week and stopped at a diner for breakfast. No masks even from the staff. The middle aged waitress seemed to get annoyed at me that she couldn't hear me because of my mask even though I was pretty much yelling my order out loud for all the customers to hear.

I’ve been going to the gym again for the last couple months wearing an N95 and I’m usually the only one in a mask out of the 50+ people there at any given time. Grocery store masking is roughly 20%. This is in Butte County. Once you drive 30 minutes north to Tehama County you’ll never see a mask in any context anywhere. The most rural of the rural counties never wore them to begin with, mandated or not.

Mendocino county made indoor masks mandatory again August 10th, and most people I see have sighed and followed suit. A few employees are wearing them under their chins and hastily grabbing them if a customer comes, but you don't get into the stores without a mask.

The only odd thing I've seen is a few times is parents with a child too young to be vaccinated in the grocery store and the parent is wearing a mask and the child isn't. I'd say about half of the people I see out and about are wearing masks outside as well.

I'm in contact with enough people that me wearing a mask makes me feel better about not passing on any respiratory illnesses, including covid. I used to try to explain it to people but now I just tell people it's company policy and I can't go into the office for 2 weeks if I don't comply. It's just easier that way.

The people that are personally affronted by the fact that other people are wearing masks are beyond help. I kinda see how someone might not want to wear masks themselves, but why the hell do they care what other people do? The only possible effect it can have on them is to benefit them... The crazy thing about a lot of these people is they claim elsewhere to be libertarians.

So bay area health officials have been under increasing pressure to end the indoor mask mandate, or at a minimum provide a timetable for when it could feasibly happen. Surprise surprise politicians have decided COVID is over and are mad the people who actually handle public health don't agree. Anyway the local health officials came out today with their criteria for ending the mandate:quote:All of the following: Also apparently SF is breaking from the coordinated Bay Area health program and relaxing some indoor mask requirements starting next Friday: https://twitter.com/LondonBreed/status/1446143571581550598
