I know traditionally the LA Times was pretty much a top tier reporting source, but ever since they sold out to a Korean doctor and moved to El Segundo from the historic downtown office, they pretty much jumped the shark.
Essentially, the decision was made to cater to the primary audience in California, politically.
So it's a weird version of MSNBC now. They occasionally run an interesting story, but anything vaguely political will be a rant.
Which sucks, I subscribed for years.
The last straw was during an election, when their cross-town newspager rival ran the usual Pro\Con articles on various election propositions ( the assumption being the reader could decide). Each proposition had a different day. The LA times, however, only ran recommendations on one day and ragtag reporting on the others.

Bringing out the grumpy old man here, but I"m pretty sure if I had told my Dad I'd be staying home from school for no reason, what would have followed would have been the task of moving a large pile of dirt around various portions of the backyard, until I finally decided to return to school.

AI Hillary Clinton: "It was the alien invasions that caused me to lose in 2016!"

C'mon. Take a gander at "Wolf Warrior". That things the funniest, most ridiculous take on the military since Mr. Roberts.
Oh, wait... it's not supposed to be funny? oooh, nevermind.

Hell, I'm not sure the Chinese have knowledge of this either.
I have a Chinese friend, living in Malaysia, who still forcefully claims that the Tiananmen Massacre didn't actually happen and was simply made up by the West. I'm sure her opinion of earlier abominations would be equally unbelieving.

The natives managed nothing. The fish managed themselves.

As a Californian, I believe older dams probably should be pulled, but the state needs to invest in newer reservoirs as well to balance all this out.
The state's population has DOUBLED since the last reservoir was built in the late 70s. That's over 40 years of no new capacity.
They are, however, planning on a newer reservoir build in 2026. Hopefully.

He's just mad he's not the football and nobody is fighting over him.or her. or it.

The difference, as I see it, is that Amazon is probably asking you to "meditate" on your own time, and other companies allow you to "meditate" on company time.

Amazon manager: Are you thinking happy thoughts?!
Amazon worker: Yes!
Amazon manager: What is it?
Amazon worker: Violently murdering you.
Amazon manager: ...

I tend to agree. I mined some crypto years ago as a silly distraction. It turned out to be mostly Doge, which I moved around to other crypto when Doge was worth 40 cents or so.
I treat that stuff like monopoly money, and have watched it all bounce from a high of almost 20K to a low of about 2K and now back up to 11K or so. It's just silliness with no logic.
It will either be worth zero some day, or a lot. But I'd never trust it as a true investment. So i watch it move all over the place and laugh.

So he super secret, honest injun, I cannot tell a lie said this. I totally buy it.

No.
The primary purpose of locking him up is not to reform him or for revenge.
The purpose of locking him up is to ;
1) Make it impossible for him to do this again--ie, protect society.
2) Make it obvious for anyone else contemplating such nonsense--ie, make an example of him.

He cannot make right what he did. Letting him go will just encourage a million tech bros to push the envelope further.

Take the average person's lifetime earnings. Determine how much he scammed. If it exceeds that number, congratulations! You've stolen the equivalent of more than a life's earnings, and thus must lose your life. So Sorry!

Because they can then cause chaos that Iran doesn't have to admit they started, and a jumbled, chaotic middle east is one that Iran thrives in.
