Co-conspirators,
I know y’all must be like me and pissed off at the Pissed OFF voter guide for not doing what I’m encouraging you to do now.
Vote for your friends and family for dog catcher.
Or, doggie freedom fighter.
Whatever, do what I always do as any fool can tell and just keep on writing and trying to have some influence even if it’s just having a friend give half a smile or just making you feel better.
Thing is, tho I’ve been doing this for years I’ve not pushed the idea as a genuine safety valve on the radiator of life if only a small one on the pressure cooker that is your life which as Thomas Wolfe notes …
“Can blow at any seam.”
You know, I actually think about which friends and frenemies and family and neighbors could do which jobs the best.
Daniel Cohen is a naturalized citizen whom I believes holds dual nationalities in his Native France and here and he and his Frau Becky have spent the past decade or so travelling the world and he grows the best big family garden plant for plant including some serious spices in the world.
I never exaggerate.
lol
I always vote for my 6th ex-wife for anything to do with money cause she has two Phd’s in Economics and Economics of Georgraphy and I vote for Matt Gonzalez for top Legal posts as often as not.
Keep this in mind always.
Instead of writing off the position w/no endorsement make it an opportunity to learn something about the job you’re recommending them for.
If nothing else ?
Ask your clock.
I have one of these talking clocks from Jeff Bezos that a friend bought for me a couple of years ago and it sat in the top of a closet for over a year and now Alexa is a part of my household and like most of my ex-wives, she is never wrong.
lol
I watched a CNN interview with Mayor Lurie yesterday and he seemed as tho he was trying to make the word ‘Progressive’ into a bad thing much as Republicans earlier on befouled the word ‘Liberal’.
I thought he was smarter than that.
He gave the same old Fox News claim that SF has suffered under Progressive Rule for the past several decades when the fact of the matter is that SF has had moderate mayors for 42 of the 46 years since I came here in 1980.
Only break was Art Agos and Loma Prieta ruined him.
Strong mayors have failed the City and particularly, the Black population whose neighborhoods it raised and replaced with Safeway which is now deserting and abandoning their promises …
I know I’m just using memes but stay with me.
Hard to write a history in few lines.
Only Gonzalez and Peskin and Ammiano and Daly and Sandoval and McGoldrick and Sandoval put a stop to that shit.
They cut Willie’s power with a series of Charter amendments that gave the neighborhood elected BOS the power to appoint one less than a majority on about a half dozen commissions I can recall off the top of my head.
Newsom and subsequent Moderate mayors have thus had to listen to BOS knighted commissioners up until Lurie who brought his own Mod Pups with him to office so now there is only a single voice from all commissions and authorities.
And, he wants more power !!
Yet, for some reason still a mystery to me, he also wants to give up what is the principal power of any SF Mayor at present …
The Power to put a measure on the ballot yourself !!
Many as you want !
My Ballot says it all in 3 words in Prop D in my City offerings:
“or the Mayor”
giving up his power to do a massive do over if he changes his mind.
???
You know, I kinda think that Daniel will be the last Human SF mayor to have any real power at all anyway.
Same with Trump’s successor.
AI will be in charge by then.
I can’t wait.
leftover lines (I don’t edit)
Like in the White House the new occupant usually reverses everything they have the power to reverse from the previous scourage.
lol
If
As Roscoe Robinson once said:
“P on No”
go Niners !!
h.

Yeah,
I was thinking of applying for a permit to pack but it would be the most valuable thing in my crib to steal.
Is there a CBD in the BART areas?
They are an admission that the cops and DPW aren’t going to do their jobs.
Then, the Mayor hires outside rough trade to further cover for the cops inaction.
Why should the cops work when they just got a 14% raise for doing least as they can get by
For the highest pay possible.
Did you know that the newly elected head of the SFPOA is a patrolman who made $586,000 last year ?
I mean, shiiiit, man !
If they’d just put permanent/temporary channelled stanchion seats around the plazas and screw permanent/temporary Vendor Pavilions around the edges and in the center of each of the 4 BART Entry/Exits along with a small elevated Stage and 24/7/365 Cop Box …
Horror is that Lurie truly believes he made a difference at 16th and Mission.
He is so, like … Silo’d !
go Niners !! h.

We are seeing unity between Mission residents and the Mission Merchant’s Association which will provide the basis for building power to put an end to this.
But the worst part are the so-called Mission Latin@ “leaders” whose role seems to be as facilitators for racism, both against our neighbors’ kids at Marshall and by ignoring the plight of “their people” in having to contend with these fentanyl zombies.
Jazzie’s place is emblematic of the rot, demeaning the memory of our late friend by treating residents like expendable dirt.
And DSA/The League seem to be so far up the asses of public sector labor and city funded nonprofits that they’ve been reduced to “pick me” supplicants, selling out working communities for the pretense of political relevance. They have nothing to say to working San Franciscans, refuse to adopt a. broad based, universal non-means tested affordability agenda that’s powered the left to victories nationwide, and are “putting a lid on things” by limiting our agenda to funding nonprofit projects that might bear fruit in decades time, but only for those means tested who win the lottery. This is why SF progressives are an endangered political species. They refuse to adapt and will perish.
This whole fucking city is one big corrupt extortion racket.

OK,
So, what do we do next ?
Personally, I just keep repeating ideas for solid reforms like a return of legal vendors in assigned spaces and a cop box and stage.
What else can I do ?
h.

How about we rent Carlins and open a lefty Comedy Club copying Brainwash ?
The owner liked the idea a couple of years ago and his wife is very active with the Dems.
Manny’s had about 20 for Sunday Trash Pickup and I doubt he’ll get many of Lurie’s people onstage soon.
I disagree with Manny on most things but I admire and applaud the good times and direct political machine lessons from the people who run the show …
‘
We need more places where we can meet our politicians and bureaucrats and toast em and roast em (with NO Paywall).
I’m including Denny and Trish Carlin, the joints owners for info …
Niners take out Seattle AT Seattle !
