Currently, the City is scrambling to find $4 million to fund more officers even though the compromise to avoid City layoffs was to reduce class sizes.
For context, the total LAPD is budgeted to get this fiscal year is $3.3 billion. Youth Development Dept. is $2.5 million.

it rules to pivot at this point in time from metaverse to ai wearables. it's like if your 8-track tape company finally realized no one was going to want them in the age of the CD, so you changed the business model to only recording nursery rhymes on wax cylinder.
Mark Zuckerberg’s gamble on the ‘Metaverse’ has cost Meta more than $77B
The company now plans to cut spending on it and shift focus to AI wearables instead

California shut down its last coal plant last week and nobody even noticed, it made so little little difference.
Meanwhile solar is up 17% and gas is down 17% from 2024. I have a few highlights... www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/ding-dong-...

This is also a really good point to make - NVIDIA is very specifically dancing AROUND the kind of language that would comfort people. They could say "we get paid 95% of X% of our revenue". Instead they're doing the hand signals from Naruto
