Driving through the Carneros rn witnessing the slow death of the old wine business. Don't know what the new wine business is going to look like. So much is ugly at the moment. If anyone wants to buy land here it's going to be dirt cheap. Literally. So many pulls #wine #winebusiness #napavalley

Or maybe, you could do a little more investigating and realize it's all buzzword bingo which is used to keep the conversation going, which in turn keeps the money flowing. You could just repost what Ed Zitron writes and it would be more effective than this thing.

It's why we need to pressure cities into creating or expanding mental health crisis units, staffed by folks, not cops, specifically trained on how to deal with these situations. Cops are ill-equipped for situations like these and sadly they can escalate the only way they know: shooting at people.

It'll be nice when Nancy Pelosi is no longer relevant and off the political stage. She's been a cynical part of the CA machine that started with the first Brown and continued with Newsom. Fake Democrats who give lip service to left causes while handing the state over to big money.

The correct statement is "If we ended late-stage capitalism, outlawed billionaires, created equal opportunity for all, had a strong social safety net and healthcare for all, we'd be the safest country on earth." It's not guns, it's capitalism. Disarming the working class is how totalitarians win.
