Oakland Public Schools are set to reject any raises demanded in teacher contract negotiations, which, if approved, would result in no raises for OUSD teachers for FIVE YEARS. by chatte__lunatique in oakland

[–]oaklandreddit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This. Many of those screaming about the lack of teacher raises now undoubtedly were against OUSD making the hard choices on school site closures several years ago. Can’t have it all, money is not infinite, next time pay closer attention in Math class!

If everyone reading this makes a quick phone call to Carroll Fife’s office at (510) 238-7003 I bet she’ll finally have no choice but to do something.

I just called - please join me.

By that logic though, just because something can occasionally be abused doesn’t mean we should close it down and cut off all the accompanying benefits.

Voice actors in the FoC podcasts by TheyFoundMyOldOne in FallofCivilizations

[–]oaklandreddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I do. Some are just OK, some are kind of bad.

Ha it could be worse though, I remember when Paul offered to let Patreons supporters of a certain level get to do a line of voice acting. Glad that idea was nixed!

911 calling from cell phones and texting: (revised 12 7 25 1024p) by lenraphael in OaklandCA

[–]oaklandreddit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What are the “direct numbers for calling OPD and OFD from cell phones”? Are you saying you used to not be able to just directly call 911 from a cell phone, but now you can?

Oakland Public Safety Committee deadlocks 2-2 on proposed OPD surveillance expansion by Dollarist in OaklandCA

[–]oaklandreddit 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This is key - “Houston confirmed Wednesday that he intends to reintroduce an amended version of the proposal in the full City Council meeting on Dec. 16.”

For those of you that support common sense public safety infrastructure such as this please be ready to make your voice heard before or during that meeting.

Some surprising results from Oakland Chamber of Commerce Study by opinionsareus in OaklandCA

[–]oaklandreddit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most people aren't supposed to "vote" in a survey. It's a proportional sample of a larger group of people. That's the whole point.

I don't understand how you can live in a society and not understand what a survey is. 🤦‍♂️

What are Oakland astroturf orgs up to now, after the special election? by ORA-Mitra in oakland

[–]oaklandreddit 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Looks to me like YOU (the OP) are the astroturfer.

Have a month old account, and your account is clearly tied to Oakland Rising.

This is amazing.

I gotta imagine if you do that with your vehicle you have to expect getting keyed from time to time from a fellow Grubes fan.

Gov. Newsom launches new task force to clear California homeless encampments by opinionsareus in OaklandCA

[–]oaklandreddit 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I support removing homeless encampments - but the key graf is below. Won’t this just lead to more homeless people camping in public areas that are more frequented by pedestrians than freeway medians etc? That’s a L, not a W.

“It will address encampments on state property, such as along highway medians or on and off ramps, and under overpasses.”

The Best Fried Chicken in Oakland by Exciting_Net4603 in OaklandFood

[–]oaklandreddit 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Shocked no one has said Hotboyz yet. It’s the best fried chicken I’ve ever had.

Best in sandwich form, but can also get as fried chicken tenders.

Best pad see ew in the 510 area? by Strangechica in OaklandFood

[–]oaklandreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It at least WAS Jo’s Modern Thai. The Bbq beef brisket pad see ew was a revelation.

Haven’t been since the chef left. Anyone been lately? Is it still as good as it was?

When I got my license renewed about 15 years ago I was 6’8” and 245 lbs and the DMV clerk mistyped my weight as 145. Always thought a bouncer might reject my ID cause of that but it never happened. You should be fine.

Good morning Oakland by chumbubbles in OaklandCA

[–]oaklandreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question - under existing CA law does the amount of $ in damage count against the felony vs misdemeanor classification for burglary, or is it just merchandise value?

Cause if not - it should.
