The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

how many people are they going to lose with this? ps+ is now cheaper than gp ultimate with much of the same selections + retro gaming. if you have PC AND PS5 there is almost no reason to stay with game pass now other than day one access (in which case you can buy for a month then cancel!)
