The approximate 7500 figure is the total headcount of ALL twitter employees (not sure if this figure is global or USA only).

According to recent articles, twitter laid off around 7-800 employees from its SF office. If we go by the reports that Musk laid off ~50% of the employees, that approximates around 1500 employees at the SF office. 10% showing up would give us 150 showing up daily.

This article achieved marketing bliss... satisfy the thirst of the lower income educated population by bashing the rich, while also piquing the intrigue of the well-off.

Are we seeing the same "homeless" people? The ones I see filling up the sidewalks and public spaces of big cities like LA and SF seem to be here for the cheap drugs, public services, and other nice things that "red states" are less likely to allow/provide.

Unfortunately, the "homeless issue" in big cities is a conflict of excess. High priced apartments (LA & SF used to have a decent amount of affordable living options when people didn't want to live in cities) clashing with "free"/public services.

We were fed a theory posed as fact (i.e. that providing services for drug addicts, like needle exchanges, and lowered/non-existent legal repercussions) is what is missing from our society. That is increasingly showing itself to be a lie.

The public needs to ask itself, do we want cities that are tolerant (and filled with drugs/crime), or do we want to accept intolerance?

I don't see the current political climate allowing intolerance, which is leading to a brewing political/civil schism.

"This past June, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that plaintiffs cannot sue companies in a state where they may do business, but do not have significant connections to that state."

Title is misleading.

In the article, Rohrabacher says “I spoke to Julian Assange and told him if he would provide evidence about who gave WikiLeaks the emails I would petition the president to give him a pardon.”

Petition is quite different than offering.
