Oh, there were results. Newsom's developer buddies and other folks in the up and coming homeless industry got rich. Then they made generous contributions to Democrat politicians across the state.
What? You think the money just evaporated? Don't be silly.

Whiskey Mike, I used to have issues with the Daily Mail too. Ads that would pop up and blink were so intrusive that the articles were illegible. But then I started using the Brave web browser and now it's a lot better.

I mostly read Daily Mail articles in Reader mode (in Safari is’s a drop down menu option in the menu bar), which does not recognize videos and pop-up adds.

I find the Daily Mail to be a valuable news source. Not for whatever sprinkling of facts a story might contain, but more from a traffic analysis point of view - why are they talking about this particular thing right now? What kind of message is being sent?
In this case, despite his nice hair, the progressive governor of the progressive state of California, is being dinged for being an evasive weasel when asked about the very real problems of the state budget and the growing population of feral homeless people. A sad way to treat one of the anointed! Perhaps there someone waiting in the wings to take Gavin's place?
I did like the part about a budget shortfall so large it prompted Newsom to propose painful spending cuts impacting immigrants, kindergarteners and low-income parents seeking child care. Oh, the humanity!

Teach a man to sleep late and start drinking early on Uncle Sugar's dime and you'll get a lot more of that...

Distrust in government is American. It’s why we have a Constitution and Bill of Rights.

In all those experiments where they gave the chimp some coc@ine everytime it pushed a button, did you ever hear it reported what happened when pushing the button didn't continue to deliver?

FWIW, Jared Bernstein has a degree in Music and in Social Work but heads the Council of Economic Advisors - he is asked a question about why the govt borrows money if it can print money
[BoingBoing] Well, um... the... uh... so the... I mean... again, some of this stuff gets... some of the language that the MM... some of the language and concepts are just confusing. I mean, the government definitely prints money and it definitely lends that money. Which is why, uh... uh... the government definitely prints money and it lends that money by uh... by selling bonds. Is that what they do? They... they... um... they... yeah... they... they... um... they sell bonds. Yeah. They sell bonds, right? Since they sell bonds and people buy the bonds and lend them the money. Yeah. So, a lot of times, a lot of times, at least to my ear with MMT, the language and the concepts can be kind of unnecessarily confusing, but there is no question that the government prints money and then it uses that money to um... uh... eh... uh... so... um... yeah... I... I... I guess I'm just... I don't... I can't really ta- I don't... I don't get it. I don't know what they're talking about, like... cuz... it's like, the government clearly prints money. It does it all the time, and it clearly borrows. Otherwise we wouldn't be having this in.. this conversation. I don't think there's anything confusing there."

Is this idiot trying to talk about modern monetary theory?

If you are a moron and you appoint even bigger morons to positions beneath you, you tend to look like the smartest person in the room. The Biden strategy?
#6
Just think about this for a moment - the most suitable person Biden has / had at the Cabinet or equivalent level was freaking Marty Walsh at Labor, a Teamsters goon.

In my humble opinion, Harry S Truman was the last good Democrat president. I especially like that quote.
So many politicians - of both parties - show it.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
