Image: Till They Yell Enough (World War I Sheet Music (https://www.loc.gov/collections/world-war-i-sheet-music/) ) Zoom call yelling at Speaker Pelosi: “Don’t defund the police.” Jeff Bliss: #PacificWatch Jeff Bliss: #PacificWatch; in re: Disappointment and anger with Pelosi on Zoom calls: “It was nutty to accept defund the police and socialism,” people actually yelled. Maybe she’s outlived her usefulness. Proposition 16: return to affirmative action—turned away by voters. Proposition 22: started quietly with AB 5, at the behest of unions: “Uber and gig workers need to be able to unionize and have health benefits.” Defeated at the polls. Corporations spent $100 million to defeat it; next day, got a $10 billion increase in stock prices. Governor exercising odd powers, esp shutdowns, incl Disneyland and other theme parks. California state constitution gives him extraordinary powers during war or pandemic; but he’s seen as having gone too far. Portland mayoralty: elected Ted Wheeler over the Antifa candidate. Oregon piling on taxes for child care, pre-school care. Companies say they’ll move. The end of all the bad acting is: more taxes. @BatchelorShow.
