Linky Links

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- Heh Heh - Boobies!

- I predicted that about 4 Democratic Congressmen would end up switching parties because they represent Districts in which Trump is popular. Looks like we've just had our first to switch.

- The next nuclear reactors will be small, svelte, and safer.

- The new California employment law is starting to crush freelancers - I would say "unexpectedly" but people were warned about this.

- Tough not to root for new BC football coach Jeff Hafley

- Cool - The Spaghetti Western trailer for The Mandalorian

  1. I've heard from people in California that none of this was unexpected, it's all part of the war on the middle class. These laws are deliberately targeting them, to either grind them down to the lower class, or induce them to leave the state. The revolutionary vanguard wants nothing but a sea of proles underneath it.

  2. Not buying that line of thinking. I think it was pure stupidity.

    Look at Vox who publicly praised and supported the law but now that the bill is coming due they find they must shed hundreds of freelancers in California.
