Makes me wonder if being a dreamer makes you a riskier loan applicant. Those folks don’t have permanent residency, they’re here under deferred action. If they have to leave, they’d be at increased risk of foreclosure.

This headline is pretty clickbaity.

Pot is very very still legal in CA. This closes some loopholes that were allowing companies to sell THC products without a license, regulation and the taxing that Californians voted for.

I think he’s just trying to collect tax dollars from the THC products that people are selling, sand a license / regulation, through the 2018 farm bill loophole.

But pot is still legal in CA. This just closes the farm bill loophole that people were using to sell THC products without a license

Yeah, good point. Hyundai / Kia is one of the few companies giving Telsa some proper range-cost ratio competition in the states.

CA has had a long history of voting for republicans, but the republicans running in CA are not for a lot of weird trumpian / culture war issues that past republicans never ran on in the state.

Yeah, it wasn’t written in a way that would help with public perception or limit opportunities for political spin. Also, it was put on the governor’s desk during a general election year when immigration is a top issue.

Even if the bill wouldn’t impact the housing market or state budget, it wasn’t crafted well.

AOC could be the democratic nominee and the Cheney family would likely still vote for the democrats. He’s not voting for Harris because he likes her policies. He voting for her because of this reason that he gave…

“In our nation’s 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump,” Cheney said in a statement. “He tried to steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power after the voters had rejected him. He can never be trusted with power again.”

“As citizens, we each have a duty to put country above partisanship to defend our Constitution. That is why I will be casting my vote for Vice President Kamala Harris”

The argument for it is probably similar to the argument for allowing dreamers to attend university and get white collar jobs. Some people were brought to the states when they were young, and America is all they know.

Do you send someone to a place like Mexico even though they might not really speak fluent Spanish and or know the country well?

I’m more annoyed that Nvidia is looked at like some sort of brilliant strategist. It’s a GPU company that was lucky enough to be around when two new massive industries found an alternative use for graphics hardware.

They happened to be making pick axes in California right before some prospectors found gold.

And they don’t even really make pick axes, TSMC does. They just design them.
