Postmates is Over $929 million in the hole
And yet, their parent company Uber is dumping $50M so far in the Proposition fight to resist abiding by California law that makes them recognize drivers as employees when they are acting as employees. They are also pouring money into building a corporate brand uplifting racial equity to buy voter sympathy. Pathetic.

Of the range of possible scenarios drawn by FiveThirtyEight, I like this one. It makes us true Coastal Elites.

Trump is doing this all wrong. He needs to go out there, to his loving crowds, no masks, shake hands with the volk and give impromptu mini speeches strengthening the Will of the American Ethno-community. That’s how real dictators handle this shit. Anything below is weaksauce.

I’m having one weird reproducible Windows 10 BSOD.
1. I have five monitors. When I’m doing translation work, I usually divide the main monitor in half, and then the left1 monitor in half in a 70% L, 30% R ratio. As I have to manually adjust the 70/30 split, the exact dividing line changes each time I do it. Almost all windows being split this way are Chrome windows in “Open a New Window” Chrome shortcut (it’s a neat setup that loses the address bar and tabs, and prevents new tabs from opening on it, pretty much behaving like an application window.
2. I use Win+Left, Win+Right to snap windows into the existing splits. However, for the 70/30 split, the snap only occurs when the last selected window in that screen was a window that was already part of a split. So if I click the 30% window sitting on the right, then select a normal chrome window floating in the middle of the screen, and press Win+Left, it will snap to the left 70% position. However, if the last window I selected before doing that was another normal window, it will not snap to 70% when I press Win+Left. It snaps to 50/50 and it even forgets the fact that the other windows were on 70/30 splits – in other words, once I’ve done this mistake, I can’t go back to selecting the 30% window, then select another window, and press Win+Left. That will still snap to the left 50%.
3. So each time I make this mistake and reset the split, I need to re-adjust the middle line and re-snap the windows. However, and here comes the BSOD – when I’m in the middle of this re-snap to 70/30 – eg I already did the split, moved the middle line to 70/30, selected the 30% window, and then select the window I want to re-snap – if I select a window that was already snapped to the left 50%, and press Win+Left, it doesn’t snap to 70%. It moves to the Left2 Monitor, to a right 50% position! And along with that move, Windows crashes, with the Blue Screen of Death. Interestingly, the center monitor (main monitor) shows BSOD. Left1 and Right monitors go black. However, Left2 and TopRight monitors stay alive, although they are unresponsive (I haven’t tested whether dynamic elements in the screen that don’t require user input do move, but I assume the screen is frozen). What’s interesting is that the dead monitors are hooked to the RTX 2070, and the alive ones are connected to the GTX710.
I had this happen twice in the same week, and now I know that this is a very specific sequence of event to trigger it. Both times the window being moved was a chrome window, but Windows freezing is annoying enough that I’m not gonna try to test if it happens with other applications.

Despite Trump time and again attacking California as a prime example of Democrat-led election fraud, California may be the best example that outcome-reversing, large-scale election fraud is NOT happening.
Because Trump’s reasoning goes, California has rigged the system so hard that it had 3 million votes in support of Clinton in 2016. And that shows how Dems committed fraud elsewhere in the nation.
Anyone with a faint understanding of the Electoral College would understand that following Trump’s logic, either the Dems are the stupidest cheaters in history, or that it shows that electoral fraud is not happening.
There is no need to rig votes in California. People dislike Trump and Republican policies already. You can’t push some buttons and add zeroes to vote tallies – a single recount operation would immediately uncover the fraud. (Again.. only for people who actually care to understand the system.. sigh). People need to actually generate hundreds of thousands, or according to Trump, millions of illegitimate ballots in every county across the state, to ensure that the tallies add up. And the Dems are doing that in California, of all places? What a waste of fraud operation resources. If the Dems ever try to pull fraud, it would be in Florida or Virginia, not California.
The fact that California had a such a landslide for Clinton despite Dems not doing any fraud makes it more plausible that other states didn’t either.. well.. actually this train of thought doesn’t make a satisfactory conclusion. The California claim is nonsense. Unfortunately it’s not enough to prove this by pure logical reasoning for other states. Never mind..
