I am kind of curious. If you are a waste management vendor, and you have a job in sales or client acquisitions... Should your job almost to be a watchdog and narc. Your job is compliance, and your client prospect pool includes those not doing it ...

Do ESG funds yield much? It feels good to read about doing the right thing, but it doesn't feel good to have investments not pay off that require you to make cuts later. As a personal investor I could never really justify the expense ratios and historical performance for my retirement or investment. And I don't believe my silver of capital in the global economy makes any difference.

I don't see how these small state specific regulations can work. California is the only state big enough, and the EU as a whole does GDPR type regulations uniformly. Regardless of what they regulations are, I feel like it needs to be US federal level regulation to make compliance practical

Not a bad time to join if you can negotiate a good amount of pre IPO equity.

What does the state constitution say about this?

I don't believe it's the products, but the plants. CBD plants must contain less than a certain percent THC. But the finished consumer product derived from the plants can have more potent levels of THC creating a weird legal grey area as I understand it.

Yeah, it's totally fucked. And there's a weird part of me that is thinking this is "better". Israel not bombing indiscriminately and instead using special forces for more precise measure to hit military targets is what people want in some weird way. I can't tell if this is supposed to be viewed as still terrible or in some way an improvement in the way the war is being waged.

But in this scenario does China want America to eat the shit platter and broken glass?

Yeah. But I think part of the article's thesis is that although there was a cop in the school in Parkland who didn't do anything helpful, it was unclear if he violated training procedure. On one hand the public wanted to crucify this officer for doing nothing to actively stop the shooter, but on the other hand many in the public behind defund the police type movements don't believe there should be cops in schools (let alone armored and heavily armed one) which would have not done anything either to have an armed and armored officer in this school situation.

Not sure what the answer is, but I think it's a complex one that requires folks to temper the ideal situation for real practical near term change.

But how does that help school shootings which are specifically discussed in this article? Do we need designated SWAT officers at every school?

I agree an active shooter is a a unique situation. But there's questions of what police get trained on and how many hours of drills or practice for certain scenarios they have. There are questions of SHALL vs MAY language in active shooter response trainings. And this article also talks about individual psychology and warrior mentality that can't be tested until it is really tested in a real scenario. Sure a person maybe should be fired for not standing up to the real life or death test, but is that criminal?

Also I think the interview of the civilian that did stop a active shooter situation is important. He did not think the officer was guilty of any crime. He believes he handled it well because he does more firearm training and drills than the average cop. He joked he loved competing against cops and gun comps because they were so bad and had weird drills where they had to change diapers on baby dolls and shoot with the ff hand for this competition.
