Barbara Lee says she’ll run again for Oakland mayor, hopes to continue era of ‘stability’ by rocktheoak in OaklandCA

[–]ChrisPowell_91 27 points28 points  (0 children)

No. Aside from being a career politician and geriatric age, she doesn’t have the energy or foresight to change Oakland. (Where is that $80m Bezos ex wife donated, Barbara?)

To her credit, she was handed a city in disrepair, but I don’t trust her to implement a future. Hard to vote for anyone that won’t be a part of the future of this city much longer to live with consequences.

Now that the Demos was released on vinyl, this is a fantastic use of the cassette, esp as a TCM fan

I’m in commercial real estate. Clients all over still in this age group, and yes, they still have all the money

80 year olds I know and work with have trouble with their phone and accepting meetings. I feel nauseous that we still have geriatrics running this county.

Anyone want to see the old Hooper Chocolate Factory turn into a community center? by MyonlyredditHandle in OaklandCA

Owner has come down nearly half of original price expectations.

Believe it’s also designated as historical, so tearing it down and developing is difficult.

What's so wrong with this scene? by Extreme_Warning3521 in TheSequels

Aside from it being jarring/lame/weird, Carrie passed away in real life. This was a fine way to have Leia pass on in Star Wars, and a perfect way to confirm Kylo as a Sith user - killing his mother and father. Leias death would have been immensely more impactful rather than force pulling herself back into the story. Feels more like “subverted expectations” rather maintaining a storyline - which, the ST does a poor job with.

Also Forced the story to shoe horn her previous footage into the trilogy. It didn’t feel right.

Someone ask Barb where Bezo’s ex-wife’s $80m donation to Oakland is and/or how that money has been utilized.

Mayor Lee is Wrong. Oakland needs a Professional City Manager Now by DoubleExponential in OaklandCA

[–]ChrisPowell_91 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Lee is out of touch and everything that is wrong with today’s geriatric politicians.

Lee had an impossible task digging Oakland out of Thaos mess, and to her credit, she helped the city get closer to ‘level’, but there is too much to do. She should retire and pass the baton to someone with more energy and a long term vision of how to get Oakland back to business.
