"Just come here legally!"

These lunches are aimed primarily at software engineers and similar white collar roles, who have new college graduates start over $100k/year at average companies with kids from average CS programs. Provided lunches aren't for the janitors or other blue collar types, who really do struggle in the Bay area. These people are on track to make a stupid amount of money, and can set themselves up to move across country in a similar role for at something like 80% pay for a 50% COL adjustment. I'm not going to mourn the loss of this untaxed perk for those who literally are in the best career track possible today when there are real issues with poverty and the cost of living in the Bay area.

Let's not pretend like these Facebook employees aren't the 1%

This thread went full retard

Yeah, housing prices are high but it's not for stupid reasons like in 2008. It's due to a lack of supply and a strong demand. This is only similar to 2008 in that prices are high.

We did kinda overthrow the Hawaiian monarchy so white people could grow sugar. So there's that.

Government, through zoning laws, needs to get out of the way and allow building in desirable areas. FHA could loosen restrictions on loans for condos as well. I personally don't want a big ass house deep in the suburbs. I'd be more than happy with a decent condo or townhome in a decent part of the city, if I didn't need to pay $500k+ for it

The thorn is a 9mm

Just like when they were silent a couple of years ago when philando castile was shot after he told a cop he had a firearm. Something just wasn't quite white about it

At least they'll know who to blame when it all goes belly up

Can't wait for the Putin White House meeting right before the midterms

Those countries haven't. What Republicans are saying (and this axiom is always true) is that under a socialist government, they will take the country to a totalitarian end game.

Some rare good news

Iraq was fine until Obama unilaterally pulled out our brave American troops (who he hates BTW) so he could single handedly create ISIS

Where in the act does it specifically call out California? I could see this portion of the act being thrown out because it gives California something that other states have, and that I believe is unconstitutional

Striking down this provision would probably take some interesting mental gymnastics, given that the court seems to be somewhat deferential to Congress if Congress passes a constitutional law. And here, Congress is fairly specific in that the administrator shall issue a waiver unless some very specific conditions are met. Striking down the whole law, though, would be less shocking. Auto manufacturers would hate it, and so would every state not named California, as auto manufacturers would default to them as standard, as having multiple skus would be cost prohibitive. Striking down the clean air act with respect to the ICC would be huge also. In that case, virtually any law passed by Congress under the guise of interstate commerce would go out the window. Makes me think that a direct tax on given pollutants would be more constitutionally tenable, but that would require a functioning government.

The clean air act specifically allows state waivers to federal preemption

Federal CAFE standards not legal under ICC? Huh?

Rofl not this Democratic party

Only to see all fall on their face against a hostile SCOTUS
