Bizarre Headlines in News III

It's the effect of global reach of the internet. The Beatles would have been the same back in the day had the internet existed. We have the same problems with housing prices, since anyone can see any house price instantly which allows investors to push up prices everywhere. We have the same problem with festivals like Coachella where you're priced out by folk with serious money.

My BIL (who lives in New Orleans) has made a similar observation. Once upon a time, he went to Jazz Fest every single year, but those days are over. Yes, he can still afford the tickets because he is a successful business owner, but it just isn't the same.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. —
California lawmakers in the Assembly Public Safety Committee are blocking a proposal that would make it a felony to purchase 16 and 17-year-old children for sex.

Assemblyman Nick Shultz, the Democratic chairman of the committee, confirmed AB 379, a bill to crack down on the consumers of the child sex trafficking industry, will move forward on Tuesday, but without the proposed felony charge.

Stuff like this is why I would never vote for any politician who hails from this disgusting state.

71% of Democrats Want Elon Musk in Prison

Since he agreed to lead President Donald Trump’s effort to reduce government waste, Elon Musk has become so hated by liberals that they would overwhelmingly favor a law to put the high-tech billionaire behind bars.

And people wonder why I distrust polling so much.
 
Did he break the law? Likely so, then yes, he ought to go to prison.

I dont know but a properly unbiased AG would investigate to determine if any laws had been broken and prosecute appropriately. But i doubt that you can dismantle federal agencies charged with spending federal allocated funds by Congress without violating some laws.

I admittedly haven't followed all this closely but which law has Elon broken?

You do realize that he didn't have a decisive role, that he only reported to the POTUS who acted on the advice, right?

Exactly. Congress was set to vote on those cuts and it was quietly canceled. This is why the mid-terms could be a disaster. People hate Congress and rightfully so.

Is this true? Given the speed with which things happened, it certainly seemed that Musk and DOGE had been given the authority to shut down programs. Maybe it was just advisory and Trump (or one of his other minions) made the final decision.

In any case, the idea of creating some nebulous law that would be used to prosecute Musk for his actions seems ridiculous to me. I certainly don’t “want” him in prison unless he’s done something currently illegal to deserve the punishment. Having/acting on different political beliefs is not grounds for imprisonment.

Yes, it's an advisory position: https://apnews.com/article/elon-musk-doge-white-house-layoffs-0fcdbb692717c63203ef971cb9807b35

Agreed. You don't have to like what he's recommending, but prosecuting him for his ideas is stupid.
