The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

Disney/ESPN has literally *nothing* to do with RedZone having ads. ESPN's deal for NFL Media 1) is months from being approved and 2) does not grant it control of RedZone.

what is your proposed solution to the homelessness issue in California?
mattlacks.bsky.social (@mattlacks.bsky.social) reply parent
what’s the evidence of that? California spends more on harm reduction than any other state. the state senate announced a bill (SB 634) protecting homeless people and prohibiting penalties against them for camping in public. They launched the SAFE task force to focus on wrap around services

yes the homeless epidemic is a terrible issue in this country with an array of factors and variables: housing shortages, substance abuse, mental health, job opportunities, crime. Much more resources need to be allocated towards it. But in the meantime I think trying something is better than nothing

That is what exists now. What do you think Skid Row is?
mattlacks.bsky.social (@mattlacks.bsky.social)
media loves to blame the fact that the shooter was trans or excessive weed use, or a million other excuses. Here are the two things that EVERY mass shoot has in common: easy access to a gun & they’re Christian. If every mass shooter were Muslim I think we’d be hearing about that a lot more

California has the most substance abuse and rehab centers in the country and many are eligible to be covered by the state.
mattlacks.bsky.social (@mattlacks.bsky.social) reply parent
the state is attempting to find housing solutions and substance programs. Homelessness is a very challenging national problem that every state must work to attempt the reduce. What would be your solution?
mattlacks.bsky.social (@mattlacks.bsky.social) reply parent
you have Pritzker in you pfp, who I like much more than Newsom btw but is this the preferable solution? capitolnewsillinois.com/news/housing...

So rather than have the state attempt the help people you’d prefer drug-addicted, mentally unstable, individuals living on the street?

I think it’s a broader point about politics in general. When there’s a candidate that breaks the norms of the establishment they break through (see Trump) and resonate with voters, the establishment is left looking completely foolish and incapable of responding or recovering

The political commentators are so eager to breathlessly report each new event, so thrilled by it all, that they never stop to note that ALL OF THIS IS OBVIOUSLY ILLEGAL. The impoundments, the tariffs, the mass deportations, the agency closures, and now this DC atrocity. Like we have no laws at all
