    Or if they get the wrong address.

    Or if they don’t like your skin color.

    Or if they don’t like your tone.

    Or if they just generally feel like it while their body cams are “malfunctioning”.

    Basically, if you want to kill people with impunity, become a police officer in the US.





  • Per the article, from a previous challenge:

    to challenge the noncompete agreements ban, arguing that it would make it difficult for companies to retain talent.

    Sounds like a admission that the opposition to the ban is to promote corporate servitude, discourage lateral movement in a chosen field, and protect companies from having to consider employee satisfaction in order to keep them. Somehow Trump appointed US District Judge Ada Brown of Texas thinks allowing people to have control over their own career would “cause irreparable harm.”

    I wonder who Trump appointed US District Judge Ada Brown of Texas thinks would be harmed by this.

    Trump appointed US District Judge Ada Brown of Texas and member of such conservative historical organizations like the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Mayflower Society, and the Federalist Society, is also credited with

    saying the noncompete agreements ban is “unreasonably overbroad without a reasonable explanation,”

    Did she read the 570 pages of the final rule which starts explaining the reason for the rule on page 5 including studies, public commentary, detrimental impact on innovation, conflicts with antitrust laws, concerns of the US courts going back to 1711. Sounds like a lot of readable explanations to me.


  • Have you tried taking it anywhere that requires a transfer? Last time I saw, all transfers required going to Union Station. Doesn’t matter if that is the opposite direction of where you want to go. Union Station is (or was) the only option if you were not traveling in a straight line.

    All of my knowledge on Los Angeles public transit is about 15 years old. I really do hope that they have improved since then.

    I am also just talking about just the Metro rail system. I never attempted any other public transit options in LA.

    The ban also forbids marketers from exaggerating their own influence by, for example, paying for bots to inflate their follower count.

    I wonder if “followers” includes users and how that will impact Twitter, Reddit, Facebooky, Instagram, TikTok, etc who use stats like active users to drive ad sales.
