  1. We did a social distancing mother's day with my friends Mom. I stopped in a Walmart in uber GOP territory in Boerne to pick up iced tea and drinks to go with Chinese take out that we were going to eat in the backyard all spread out. That Walmart was WILD. They had the doors roped off for entry and egress through certain ways, and Walmart employees counting people on the tablets, but no one was asked to wear a mask or to go in through the correct ENTER section. No carts were being cleaned and people were doing the right cart thing and bringing them in from the parking lot and touching them but no gloves. Only 25% of the customers wore masks. I bought what I needed, self checked out, wiped everything down with a wipe and cleaned it and washed my hands three different times. It was surreal. There was even signs to support our president don't wear a mask. JEZUS.

    are ppl wearing masks in san antonio? only like 5-10% of ppl are wearing masks down here even tho they're required by law in oaxaca. the only business that i know of that actually requires them is the bank ironically.

  2. '...that stupid Plandemic YouTube video.'

     

    A co-worker asked me sincerely how I can just dismiss it outright. I don't even know what to say to him. WHAT do I say to hiM?

    just tell him it's controlled opposition by our reptilian shapeshifter overlords.

  3. I know it's hard to believe New York has more people since LA covers more ground, but it's true. LA has lots of open space where there's no people.

     

    New York usually has about 2 million more people than LA, even though the population has increased. Now it's about 10 million for New York (12 million counting everybody) and 8 million for LA (10 million with everybody)

    I don't even know where to start. Let's just do a comparison of the two urban areas since you are wrong on a number of points in your post - I am not even sure where you're getting these numbers from - they seem entirely made up.

     

     

     

    Land Area

    NYC: 3,450.2 sq mi

    LA: 1,736.0 sq mi

     

    Population

    NYC: 18,351,295

    LA: 12,150,996

     

    Density

    NYC: 5,318.9/sq mi

    LA: 6,999.3/sq mi

  4. I suspect I missed you before you left, but I'm talking about your utterly retarded post from here:

     

    LA is the densest urban area in the country at 7068.3/sq mi (as opposed to 5309.3/sq mi for NYC and 3913.6/sq mi for chicago. if you're b*tching about sprawl maybe you should take a look at your own city. you've got a dense center (although chicago doesn't - the loop only has a population density of 16,388/sq mi) but once you get away it's a surburban nightmare. LA has urban sprawl. NYC and chicago have suburban sprawl.

     

    ...

     

    los angeles has 10 buildings over 200 meters tall, 4 of which were built after 1990 (40%). chicago has 21 buildings over 200 meters, 9 of which were built after 1990 (43%). LA has a large anti-development faction with significant influence plaguing its government. this might exist to a limited extent in a place like chicago and new york, but the historical precedent of skyscraper construction easily crushes such NIMBYism from taking hold. that said, los angeles does have a number of projects in the works which will not only enhance downtown, but will help revitalize street life in downtown, which seems to be a major issue with you. LA live is prolly the prolific

     

    you also have significant clusters along the miracle mile, wilshire center, hollywood, burbank, glendale, woodland hills, long beach, anaheim, irvine, etc etc etc. to say that LA lacks skyscrapers is just ridiculous.

     

    the LA area has 20 fortune 500 companies and 44 fortune 1000 companies - although i will admit that the bay area beats LA hands down in this department. and i will also admit that considering LA's size and influence it probably should have more fortune 500 companies but you have to remember that where LA excels is smaller businesses. but LA is still king in terms of media, manufacturing, ports, etc.

     

     

    You know, the ridiculous one where you actually claim that a much larger metro in area (NYC) must be lower density, even though that definition contains part of f-cking Connecticut; when compared to a smaller area MSA (LA).. even though, clearly anyone that has ever been to both cities actually knows LA is a big, sprawling mess that is not nearly as dense.

     

    I offer this to consider:

     

    The population density of Manhattan is 69,467.5/mi, not only easily the densest place in the US, but one of the densest places in the world, including Manila and Kowloon.

     

    The absolute densest place in the LA metro area is Walnut Park, at 21,919.0/mi, which is a) not even coming close to Manhattan and b) as an aside, is a sh-thole.

     

    You lose. Debate me on this if you dare.

     

    LA still has the densest urban area in the country according to the US census, just go to the same link I posted in my previous post to see the numbers from the 2010 census.

     

    NYC has a denser core obviously, but LA has denser suburbs. The densest district of LA is actually Koreatown at 42,609/sq mi, which is obviously nothing compared to Manhattan.

  5. The lack of interest in mid-term and local elections has always been a point of great amusement to me. People truly don't give a **** and I find it highly encouraging that this sentiment is only growing stronger.

     

    For the last month I have been working on a voter outreach campaign for the GOP in one of the states with a close US senate race. My entire job has been to hire canvassers to go door to door using walking lists of registered Republican voters to remind them that an election is coming up and tell them when early voting starts. The impression I have gotten from the people out in the field is that most people are indifferent. The complete lack of substance in the campaign is beyond pathetic - I just love it.

  6. RavEMasteR:

    Chinese values such as heroism and patriotism has literally gone down the drain.

     

    It's all about money and business with the West now.

     

    That's the first evidence.

    For the Jews of the Orient, it has always been about money and business. That's why the overseas Chinese are known as the Jews of the Orient, you silly Jew!
