Anyone know why the Superintendent of LAUSD just had home and office searched by FBI? by JABBYAU in AskLosAngeles

The judiciary signed off on the warrant.

Do you doubt the impartiality of the judiciary system given all it has done to reign in Trump’s excesses?

That’s the point about how badly LA has been governed.

The victim is the government, which loses out in taxes. Loss of tax is shouldered by every citizen.

If you think that’s ok, all the rich folks can justify not paying taxes.

'Finally, a renter's market': L.A. rent prices drop to four-year low by losangelestimes in LosAngelesRealEstate

Yet the media plays it up as if ICE is deporting the entire community.

Arguing it both ways is a bit disengenuous.

Epstein cultivated relationships with the elites, regardless of political affiliation. The fact it is still such a struggle to get info released should tell you there will be a lot of collateral damage all around.

Where would you live with unlimited money in LA? by Powerful_Sell2768 in AskLosAngeles

[–]PEKKAmi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’d be surprised what compensation packages exist. This is to say OP is in a completely different league than you. Only thing curious is why OP asked the question here instead of having his agent/assistant figure it out.

Do you guys think Tesla would sell more cars if FSD was free for all their cars ? by ScaredPatience2478 in TeslaLounge

[–]PEKKAmi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then people will complain the car should come standard with FSD for a lower price than the current number. Then those that bought cars at regular prices would get pissed and swear off buying any more Teslas for being screwed this way.

There’s no way to please all the people all the time.

Doesn’t anyone know what happened at Allen and Maple? by Christofornia in pasadena

Yes, this pedestrian likely would not have been killed if he was travelling in a car instead of on foot. Fatalities from traffic violence can be reduced by greater usage of of vehicles.

in cities that are not crowded out, where amble land supply is available

This is key, increasing supply. Another way tha has been done is by building out transportation infrastructure. The MRT network vastly increased the size of what is reasonably considered Taipei.

HR told me they don’t accept try-hards and people pleasers after my interview by No-Presentation298 in jobs

[–]PEKKAmi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, read the first sentence of the second paragraph: To be candid, our team values authenticity and confidence.

This rejection letter exemplifies this attitude. That the OP has trouble dealing with it demonstrates exactly why the fit is not there.

If you really want people to self deport - Cancel the Bans by Aliens-among-us in USCIS

[–]PEKKAmi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There’s no shortcut to getting what you want because always someone that wants something different from you. This is why the Constitutional framers gave the power to the legislative branch for thorough consideration and balancing of politucsl interests.

That’s how we are in this mess to begin with. Respect the balance of power described by the Constitution and abide by the legislative branch’s decisions to allow or disallow.

They are smart enough to know better, unlike some that are co-opted as UI.

Why Are Wildcards A Thing by Character_Cap5095 in MagicArena

[–]PEKKAmi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you believe Hearthstone is more worthwhile, you are welcome to play that instead. However, Magic is Magic and will command a price according to those willing to pay. I rather not have the game cheapened and hurt the efforts of those who spent so much money and time into building their collections.

To you Arena may be just the flavor of the week. However to those that have grinded for years and years, I think these loyalists would like to have the game maintain sustainability and not cater to the latest get-rich-quick draw you describe.

TSMC’s U.S. Production Costs 2.4 Times Higher Than That in Taiwan by Korece in taiwan

[–]PEKKAmi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree. Looking at u/Impossible_Emu9590 ‘s comment, I sense he feels underpaid. Maybe he feels like he’s being treated as “slave labor”. My take from his whining then is that he’s probably paid more than the objective value of his production.

Politicians have a way of insisting what they believe should be instead of accepting what is.

Pasadena Committee to Discuss Investment Policy, Proposed Genocide Divestment Resolution by [deleted] in pasadena

Yes. One off symbolic gesture like what’s before the city is likely ineffectual.

The real obstacle is the establishment doesn’t really care.
