John Stewart highlighted a few:

“allegedly”

Better?

My hometown has an intersection of Miller Ave and Miller Ave.

The “catch pads” are where they screw you over. They have to be changed regularly. My wife has had to change the pads more than buy new ink. And then you need a $10 code to reset the counter ON TOP of the pad.

Also Fuck Epson Ecotank series.

…again

Look kids, Big Ben

Dude, I made it like 80% of the way through that movie before I noticed it was Romeo and Juliet. I felt so dumb when it hit me.

It was the Leonardo DiCaprio version, wasn’t it?

SUPER high level, and slightly biased explanation: corporate home buying.

Large investment firms like buying up property increasing the demand and raising prices. This prices normal people out of being able to afford a house. It also raises other housing related costs like rent, because these firms want to make a profit. This in turn prices people out of being able to afford ANY housing.

When we’re just numbers on a spreadsheet, there is a certain level of vacancy and homelessness, that maximizes profits.

You are factually correct about “30% of the vote in CA”. But I think you are misinterpreting the data. PEW says that in 2020 96% of people voted strictly along party lines. PEW shows 30% of registered voters in CA are GOP or GOP leaning. Which means whoever the GOP candidate is would have received 29% of the voter REGARDLESS of who the candidate was. And before you point out the 1% “gain”, Biden “gained” 6% over registered DEM voters using the same metrics in CA.

(I sourced PEW because they were the first Google results that had the stats at the detail level I needed)

You just described Hellish Quarte with lightsabers.

Or…hear me out… People don’t live in the damn desert and expect to have unlimited access to water.

Acurate assessment. As much as I would like to see Disney scorched earth Florida, its not happening in the near future.

The other medium-term solution I could see is to begin winding down operations in Florida and redirecting resources to beefing up the other existing parks. Basically cut back all spending in Florida until the park park is barely breaking even. Let it sputter out slowly while expanding other properties.

That said, you’re probably right that The Mouse really needs to drop some cash in Florida and drastically alter the political landscape.

Or donated it all to Trump’s grift

What I’m naively optimistic for is a center Republican to come forward with a deal with center house Dems and a few center Reps and create a coalition governments.

Basically trade a few committee seats and offer a floor vote on a couple Dem bills.

They don’t even have to guarantee passage. And everyone can win the messaging when the bills don’t pass. GOP can say they are “fighting DEM spending and waste” DEM can say “they are trying to make your life better but those dirty GOP are ruining it”
