According to a commentator on Politico, #CA Prop 16 is going down in flames. This would repeal prop 209 and allow state and local government and educational institutions to once again use ancestry / race and sex / gender in hiring and admissions decisions. Proponents painted it as affirmative action needed to right historic wrongs. Opponents painted it as enabling racism.

Both #CNN and #BBC agree: The West Coast is solid blue. #CA, #OR, #WA all projected to support #Biden.

#CA state senate bill tries to stop garment industry wage theft. http://status.hackerposse.com/url/22648 [www latimes com] I think one thing that could help is to treat wage theft as a serious crime on the same level as bank robbery. Get cross-agency task forces and strike teams to arrest and prosecute the ringleaders and send them to decades-long prison sentences. Take the p…

Why is it that I can find salt-free potato chips in #MO, but not in #CA? I thought California was supposed to be the land of healthy diets.

There have been over 100 #earthquake s near Westmoreland, #CA, in the last few days. They have all been small. (Less than M.5.0.)

Several years ago, I was in a hotel near there when an earthquake left hairline cracks in the walls.

#CA #EDD unemployment benefits must be quite a bit higher than some other states. (That $20K number must be over the entire claim and extension.)

I have a dim memory of a forestry management intentional burn that escaped to become a destructive fire. It could have been the turning point in the way forests are managed in #CA.

Thinking about the link @geniusmusing posted about prisoner firefighters now being eligible for post-release employment ... #CA also has or had a program called the California Conservation Corps, which trained young twenty-somethings for wildland firefighting. I don't know what the hiring process is like, but I imagine mom and dad will wuickly tell them to go work at McDonald's…

Also, today's smoke is much thinner. Very little orangish tint to the world and much brighter outside today. I think the wind direction has shifted, so that may be the main difference. The El Dorado Fire was climbing some rugged parts of the San Bernardino mountains, so it seems unlikely they made that big of an advance in containing and extinguishing the fire. This fire is not…

New #CA law restricting how much debt collectors can drain from a person’s bank accounts https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2020-09-01/column-coronavirus-debt-collectors [www latimes com]
Why haven’t they done this before? It is not like we are just learning how scummy and scammy debt collection companies are.

When I was 18-20, I wanted to ride a bicycle from Santa Monica, #CA, to Orlando, #FL. It never happened.

https://water.ca.gov/Programs/Water-Use-And-Efficiency/Agricultural-Water-Use-Efficiency [water ca gov]
Claims that #CA agriculture is water efficient. I call BS. In some parts of the state, you can drive past and see that they're using "flood" irrigation. Which can help replenish groundwater as well as increasing rainfall downwind, but isn't efficient at point of use.

The hottest temperature I ever experienced was 116F sometime around the early 2000s. But 106F and humid (working in El Centro, #California, one year) and 96F and much more humid (working in #Mississippi one year) felt even worse. The awful thing about #MS was that the local people I worked with said it was the coolest Summer in thirty years, while I wondered how people could live there.

My #SoCal hometown is having another day that exceeds 100F / 38C outside. Inside temperature is 96F / 36C. Slightly hotter than some parts of Sacramento #CA, but lower than Phoenix #AZ. Some clouds rolling in, so maybe we’ll have some overcast ... or maybe even a little rain. We have not yet had the traditional August rainstorm. (Cools things off that day, but then the ne…
