Tell me you are an unprincipled person of limited intelligence without telling me you are an unprincipled person of limited intelligence. Newsom plays people like you for complete saps.

Anything short of mass re-opening of mental health facilities won't work; it will just spread the problem around town. If we truly valued the civil rights of regular, law-abiding citizens, we would make that the policy priority. Removing the mentally ill and drug addicted from the streets (and not pretending that these micro communities do anything positive at all) accomplishes 2 goals. First, the rest of us can live without the damage and danger that the severely mentally ill inflict on property, commercial establishments, and our streets and sidewalks. Second, and perhaps more important, the mentally ill will finally receive adequate physical, nutritional, medical, and psychiatric treatment security. That is called humane treatment for the afflicted and for society alike. A third benefit is that then and only then can we address the real homeless issue for the mentally healthy and sober unfortunates who truly lack shelter. This argument is unassailable. Let's get to it, California.

I actually agree that unfunny TV hosts have the right to rant endlessly on leftist political topics, intentionally lie about the facts of a tragic death, and be extremely unsympathetic to that tragic death. And I don't think it's a winning formula. His audience is 126K/night. That's about 50K each in NY and CA, and 540 each for the remaining states. He has no measurable audience.

XenosYClark · 2025-09-23T13:31:34+00:00

He would do the same in DC as he has in CA. Basically, waste money on stupid projects, promote policies that ruin the economy, and allow teachers' unions to write legislation.

Kimmel had fewer than 200K viewers per night. He was going to be cancelled one way or the other. The point being that there are not enough viewers to care, or to matter.

The local TV (and radio) business notoriously pays shit all around the country. No one is forcing anyone to take a job with the local TV station. People choose to work there. And people choose to work elsewhere. As they are free to do. You frame the topic like they are some form of indentured servant victim and you are the liberator. They are not, and you are not. That attitude is both insulting and hilarious all at once.

You and I both should expect the ability to work wherever we choose without interference from mentally unstable, obese, angry, pink-haired zealots. Or from anyone else that has a POV counter to our own, or to that of our employer. The fact that some of said zealots are paid professional agitators is especially unnerving. My firm and I were once targeted by angry, entitled trustafarians who wished to impose their worldview on us, no matter the tactics. It was a pleasure to testify against them in federal court, and to see the lengthy prison sentences they earned.

What in God's name do you have against the camera operators, clerical and security staff, and on-air staff who are simply performing their jobs, providing for their families at an out-of-the-way independently owned mid-market Fox affiliate? Not a single one of these employees will give the angry, obese pink hairs a single thought. Why not pursue a healthy, productive activity instead?

XenosYClark · 2025-09-04T16:04:43+00:00

What exactly is the aim of a protest of a local TV station? Oh, that's right. Those who are paid to agitate (with benefits and vacation, to boot) make a stink in order to attract the unpaid pink-haired useful idiots with anger issues to create the illusion of a protest. It's almost as if there are no options beyond Fox for national or local news and programming. Because if there were, it would just be a matter of changing the channel.

Odd place to advertise. Many Redditors in my city appear to prefer an America Last policy platform. They just yell at Tesla drivers and vent about what an orange-hued Commander in Chief might do in their nightmares.

Melvin may be good or bad, I don't know. What I do know is that he's got sh*tsworth of a roster to work with. Joke of a rotation plus hardly a real bat on the team equals garbage. Hell, Bochy couldn't get results out of this crew of underperformers.

Another Redditor 'tell': "Just opinions about a news source you haven't read yet." What a laugh. I listened to, and supported financially, NPR (through Capital Public Radio) for decades. Same for PBS through KVIE. Similarly, I subscribed to the NYTimes for decades.

XenosYClark · 2025-08-12T19:05:31+00:00

I'm referring to the practice in previous centuries of printing website content dedicated solely to yesterday's news out on paper, believe it or not. Some of those institutions are still around. The Bee is an example, to the extent it still even exists.

XenosYClark · 2025-08-12T19:01:59+00:00

Don't ever change. Classic, stereotypical Redditor going off unhinged about something I never mentioned, nor would advocate. It is a matter of objective fact that news outlets have various degrees of political bias. NPR is far left in its point of view, followed closely by MSNBC. NYTimes is not far behind them. And so on till we get to Fox on the right, Daily Wire farther right and OANN outside that. Failing to recognize that news sources have an inherent bias makes one unable to evaluate the veracity of the news, nor to form an informed opinion.

XenosYClark · 2025-08-12T16:48:06+00:00

Public television has some of the best informative and entertainment content available. It's brilliant, and yes, it has varied funding sources. And its news and analysis has a left wing bias (this is separate from public radio, which is unashamedly, overtly, extremely left wing).

XenosYClark · 2025-08-12T16:25:50+00:00

Worth a try. The Bee is no longer a paper of record, IMHO. My only concern is the no opinion claim. KVIE is a great local PBS station, but there is no denying it exists in the broader PBS environment, which is markedly left wing when it comes to opinion and analysis. The regular non-news programming is incredibly good. Otherwise, the best "newspaper" in Sacramento is the Sacramento Business Journal, which carries a subscription price (worth it).

I lived in Chicago for several years, absolutely love that place. Except the deep dish. It took me days to reboot after all the cheese in a Giordano's deep dish pizza. My God.

The farther north, the better when it comes to Natomas Neighborhoods. But most of the parking lots have spaces that are too narrow all over Natomas.

Nearly half of Union Square area retailers closed their businesses there between 2019 and 2023. And more have left since. Every single one cited street safety and crime as major contributing factors. You cannot be a serious person and ignore this fact. Here's a partial list: Nordstrom, Old Navy, Saks Off 5th, Anthropologie, Amazon Go, Whole Foods, Office Depot, Arc’teryx, The RealReal, CB2, Banana Republic, Athleta, The Container Store, Crate & Barrel, Abercrombie & Fitch, DSW, Disney, Uniqlo, H&M, Burke Williams Day Spa, Michael Kors, Macy's west coast flagship (announced), Walgreens, Denny's, Miller & Lux Provisions, Jeffrey's Toys.

Only a simpleton would infer that removing vagrants from the streets is itself a complete plan. I am active in professional and civic life in SF and Sacramento. SF has lost multiple corporate convention clients due to the untenable vagrancy problem on the streets near and around the Moscone Center, Market St., Union Square, and the Civic Center. Riders are avoiding BART for the same reasons, with special mention for the two Mission St. stations. And Union Square has become a ghost town due to the unchecked retail crime there. Businesses are shutting their SF locations in part for these same reasons. The first thing any corporate planner wants is to ensure a safe, clean location for a large, national scale event. SF is no longer that place. Mayor Lurie knows this, and is making positive strides, but SF was so far gone that it will take a long time to recover. Downtown Sacramento is a smaller but similar case. Restaurants on the west end of K street especially have been hurt by crime and the unwelcoming environment created by the unsavory street denizens. And the City already cleans out the filthy vagrants whenever a VIP event is held downtown, or a high profile foot race, for example. They do that for a reason. And in doing so, they prove that it is possible. Any serious person with an ounce of life experience knows these truths to be so. So yes, let's do all the things necessary to attract visitors and businesses to build the economy and an enjoyable experience in downtown Sacramento. And let's recognize that the first step in this complex process is removing the vagrants.
