While I think that's probably true, I would rather have a curfew than just straight up 24/7 martial law, which is the next big step for governors to take, and definitely something the president is pushing them to do.

loving hell, this state is facing fiscal armageddon, and legislators want to create a committee on reparations for slavery, and also to assume that Mitch is gonna turn on the money hose for this years budget. I don't think the magnitude of what is coming has quite sunk in under the dome.

Irvine sucks and the police there suck rear end too. I have definitely seen black kids that are just walking down the street get stopped for no loving reason. It is supposed to be one of the safest cities in CA so when something does actually happen the cops are excited as gently caress to get some "action".

They have dedicated police vans just for traffic collisions.  They also have a gian "Mobile Command Unit" RV that they use for, as far as I can, strictly photo ops. Maybe the only time they used it was when Dorner shot that couple in Irvine.

I swear I've seen 3 cars and 2 officers at a traffic stop before. They really really really like to hang around UCI at least.

Yeah, I went to UCI and I remember talking to a homeless guy that told me that the police go around trying to find and remove homeless people off the streets. Basically Irvine is full of NIMBYs that want to pretend the city doesn't have a homeless problem and just force all the homeless into LA or somewhere else so it's their problem. Plans by the city to create new shelters or allow for tent cities get protested and shot down. I could still see people sleeping in their cars at night though.

They're all on the borders too where they just get chased off into neighboring cities. Also there's suspiciously no pigeons anywhere in the city

Dedicated vans for auto accidents seems a pretty reasonable use of public funds, especially compared to the other poo poo that police departments buy. I’d rather police budgets get spent on actually useful traffic stuff like that then PMC toys.

Cops not needed for traffic control or such are stuffed someplace quiet just in case. Pop up tents or a command center, a bunch of cars, and some pigs with their heads stuck in the donut trough all night.

WAR CRIME GIGOLO posted:
A reduction in initial jobless claims isn't recovery, it's slowing of the opposite thing. We still saw 1.88M new jobless claims (nationally) this week; a report like that in 2019 would have grabbed every newspaper's headline as a screaming unemployment disaster. It's just "small" compared to the 5-7M weekly new claims we were seeing in April. Continuing claims increased this week to 21.5M. The four-week moving average of continuing jobless claims are declining slightly, but the monthly report for May (due Friday) is forecast to show an overall rise in unemployment to nearly 20% nationally. California saw increases of more than 27,000 in initial claims filed last week. California is a bit weird in that we report biweekly, so digging into the data from various news reports is tricky. tl;dr, we are not in a recovery phase yet, we're just... maybe bending the curve on unemployment right now? Not coincidentally, California is not seeing a steep decline in new cases, or hospitalizations, or deaths, from Covid-19. New cases is a skewed number because of increase rate of testing, but hospitalizations and deaths gives us a better view of progression of the virus and based on those numbers, we absolutely shouldn't be re-opening now. But we're gonna re-open because the tolerance for continuing closures is falling rapidly.   I think we're in for a big surge in cases in approximately a month, and at that point, unemployment is gonna spring up again as people just stay home, voluntarily even if there's no official re-shutdown, and the payroll protection plans for small businesses run out, and main street retail just dies completely.

I just have to fucken lol when people react to "reduction in (still huge) initial jobless claims" like it's a sign of recovery. It's not. It is literally inevitable. Not eventually reducing would mean entering negative employment. What we're doing is watching a person bleed out, and clapping because the rate of blood loss is slowing. The body is running out of blood.

No that everyone has lost their job, there are no more jobs to be lost. As you can see, the number of new jobless claims is now zero! Job well done everyone!
