I want to go to S.F. and do a “public transit day.” Full size train in from San Jose, then the buses around town, then B.A.R.T., concluding with the picturesque cable cars.

Then I’ll journey down to L.A. in just a few hours on their neat high-speed bullet train. California’s great and their voters and government is the smartest ever!! s/

A lot of the laid off probably were all comfy with the idea of their employers censoring the people on the right. They got Biden elected and they got a Democrat senate and almost kept a democrat house. Now they are going to be moving out of their expensive condos into their parents’ basements and some may end up in tents down by the freeway. I am not feeling really sympathetic which I am sorry to admit but sometimes you have to hit rock bottom good and hard to get your head straight.

The monster they created and applauded for at some point was going to come back and bite them in the butt and it’s beginning to look that way. Welcome to the beginning stage of the android AI world. Humans need NOT apply!
