This is true of all industrial siting, bc these communities have the least political influence. Strong environmental review laws like CEQA are among the few defenses these communities have, which is why there is so much conventional wisdom that these laws are Bad, Actually™️

If you can get the updated Covid booster now, do it, because more restrictions may be coming. (I got mine last week!)
Again, if you want to get a COVID19 vaccine this year, please consider getting it before RFK Jr’s fraudulent Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) meets on September 18-19.
There is every reason to believe they will further restrict access. Absolutely shameful.

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man.
Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent.
We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate.

We Must Not Posthumously Sanitize Charlie Kirk's Hateful Life
Influential anti-LGBTQ+ activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday. While condemning violence is something most can get behind, sanitization of his hate has gone too far.

I HATE when people compare AI to the printing press, it's so disingenuous. The printing press was opposed by the elites because it put power in the hands of everyday people, and popularized a vernacular. AI does the opposite, by allowing elites to bypass artists and laborers.
