    Great and all. But can we get something below a state of emergency. Everything seems to trigger one of those these days. It kinda loses it’s meaning when overused.

      State of emergency just sounds scary but it’s more about unlocking additional funds for issues. My state was under a “state of emergency” for drought. All it ment was some industries and communities could receive extra subsidies for water costs.

        Except it often also unlocks executive powers, not just funds. So yes, there should be a level that allows unlocking funds without everyone having to check if democracy is being suspended.

            Idk about CA specifically. But even if none were available, it is still a term that is used for unlocking such powers on the federal level and in some states. So if CA does not have such powers, then just rename it I guess.

      Why do I get the suspicious feeling that there’s a significant overlap between people who want raw milk and are against vaccines.

    I don’t think the impacts of this are being fully realized yet…like the stores here (Sacramento) are low on eggs, the zoos have taken the birds off exhibit, and I live next to a large wildlife preserve that’s a huge bird migration path and they just like haven’t been there this year. Those giant starling clouds were an annual thing for a week or so and they just didn’t happen this year. It really feels like there’s a LOT less small birds; the big herons and stuff are still visible, but like walking the preserve is noticeably quieter.

    You’d think you could deal with a flu outbreak in cattle without a state of fucking emergency. You’d also think that you’d not make claims about a flu humans aren’t getting yet as extremely deadly to humans.

      It’s probably a legal thing involving interstate commerce. As the flue is spread also by trucks driving out of bird flue areas into non affected and this can then be regulated

      There are currently 61 active infections in humans and 34 of those are in California. Our poultry farms have been devastated with millions of birds killed.

      They’re as (corpo)left as Texas is right.

      To the same extremes, just the opposite direction.

      Truth hurts. Fuck Pelosi and Trump.
