I can't help but think Apple should have focused more on hiring the top engineers/designers than on the diversity of their workforce.

Actually, most of the items that an activist judge initially blocked have since been overturned and allowed to progress through higher-court judges.

Elon's philosophy is the exact opposite. Remove 90% and see what really needs to be added back.

You can't just charge the farmer based on a particular crop because they can easily change that from year to year. Alfalfa usually last 4-5 years before they replant. So they would have to basically raise the prices of water for all farmers.

A huge portion of our nation's food supply is grown in CA. It would/could drastically raise the prices of food worldwide because some tax hungry politician wants a larger tax base.

This article is very short sighted. This is CA. You know once they ban one crop or start charging more for that crop, then they will start charging more for everything else. CA likes to suck companies dry through regulation and taxation. Once they go down this slippery slope, it won't end and prices on all foods will increase as a result.

Could it be that all these complainers about going back to work don't want to lose out on their 2nd job?

My biggest question is: who cares? Lot’s of people in this community (and the media) love to pounce on people and companies who don’t think the same as them. These people/groups talk about being inclusive right up and until the others don’t share their points of view. It’s exhausting

There are 1,000s of companies across the country do this very same thing without any fan fare.

Just stop it!!!

'Assisted suicide' I believe is the term.

I’ll give you a hint, the best locations are not in the city. Check out small towns. The people are down to earth. The cost of living is much less and the people are generally awesome to be around. I love in a small farming town and your neighbors would give the shirt off their back to come help you. One of our daughters has to go to the hospital for about a week and we came home to a clean house and meals for a week.

Those who think the city is good place to be, explore a little outside your urban bubble.

In addition to this, we have lots of kids and there are plenty of ways to have kids affordably. You don’t have to send your kids Ivy League schools and if they do, they can get their student loans to pay for it.

Lastly, yes, kids can a source of frustration and pain but they are by the one of the largest sources of joy, pride and happiness in our life. Watching them grow and develop is amazing.

Destroying dams when they are in a drought. In Idaho, dams are our life blood. No dams, no food or people in most of southern Idaho.

Have you ever thought for a second that you can’t trust the media? Or trust the word of a disgruntled employee who’s just trying to give a black eye to the employer who is about to let him/her go? It pretty funny watching the posts coming across this and other platforms thinking the world is ending because Elon comes out and says he’s going to make twitter balanced instead blatantly left leaning.

If I were the bad guys, I would look for the houses without the guns first. Much easier targets.

I feel like this puts everyone without a gun at risk. I hope every gun owner in CA sue him up and down.
