As California tries to derail Paramount's $110 billion takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery, Paramount CEO David Ellison's friends and advisers have been pushing the media executive to consider shifting his business out of the state. Ellison's confidantes have pushed him to consider moving its corporate headquarters and reallocating much of its $30 billion in planned spending outside the state if California Attorney General Rob Bonta were to sue to stop the merger, according to people familiar with the discussions. No decisions have been made, these people said, and the considerations may just be a show of brinkmanship, given so much of the industry's production takes place outside of Hollywood already. Under the current deal, Paramount has committed to keeping both companies' lots operational if it remains in California. read more
An LGBTQ cruise that was prohibited from stopping in Turkey earlier this week was not allowed to dock at its substitute port in Egypt on Thursday, according to the company that planned the trip. Atlantis Events CEO Rich Campbell, who is on Virgin Voyages' Scarlet Lady with nearly 2,000 passengers, called the move "really unheard of" and "strange and sad" in a message to The Washington Post. He said that the approval to dock in Alexandria was pulled at the last minute. read more

Turkish authorities have banned a cruise ship catering to American LGBTQ+ travelers from docking in the country's ports, citing "moral standards" and "family values," the CEO of the events company behind the upcoming Mediterranean tour said Thursday. The "Athens to Venice" cruise, which departs from Greece on July 5, was expected to dock in the vibrant Turkish port town of Kuadas two days later, followed by a trip to Istanbul, according to Atlantis Events, which is organizing the voyage. read more
An example of that would be nice.
Why not wait until they take over the country, would that be a good enough example?
WASHINGTON (TNND) " With the November midterms just months away, the Democratic Socialists of America just released a new platform calling for structural changes to the U.S. government and expanded socialist economic policies.
The platform, called "Workers Deserve More," focuses on shifting structural political and economic power away from corporations and into the hands of the working class. The DSA released the platform Tuesday, and includes extending full voting rights to people with criminal convictions and noncitizens, replacing the Electoral College with a national popular vote for president, and replacing the two-party system with a multi-party democracy. It also calls for expanding the House and abolishing the Senate.
Co-Chair of the DSA, Ashik Siddique, told C-SPAN this week, "We just don't see the point of the Senate. Historically, it was meant to serve very wealthy people who owned a lot of land and that's still a system that we have today and it's something we would change."

The DSA is taking over the left wing of the Democrat party.
Of course the "communism" comment is about democrats. And it's BS.
idk ... a growing portion of Democrat voters are DSA aligned ....
Actually, a Lot of DSA Members Are Communists
Trump's characterization of the group prompted media dismissals, but a majority of the Democratic Socialists of America's leadership identifies with Marxist ideology.

It pays for everything else ... so why not ...
In practice though this of course would be withheld if the governor of the State didn't like you.
Similar to prop36 that passed to spend money to nail repeat retail theft offenders ... but no ...
"Californians overwhelmingly passed Prop 36 to crack down on repeat retail theft and the state's deadly drug crisis while delivering proven, court-supervised treatment. Yet Governor Newsom has again turned his back, denying communities across the state the resources they need to enforce the law and save lives. With their hands tied by a lack of funding, law enforcement, prosecutors, and probation officers cannot fully hold offenders accountable or steer them into the treatment they desperately need.
Proposition 36 is working where it's funded: it reduces repeat crime, breaks the cycle of addiction, and helps people reclaim their lives and families. Counties are ready to implement real change that voters demanded with the law's passage " but they cannot succeed without the state's full commitment. The voters spoke loud and clear. It's time for Governor Newsom and the state to stop defying the will of the people and fully fund Proposition 36."

California's doesn't have a democracy.
Perhaps you can name something good republicans have done within the past decade.
Closing the border to illegal immigration is good. Nothing wrong with opening it up to those that make more than the median income, but destroying the labor force for the poor and unskilled is horrible policy.
Noah Pinion is a good liberal follow, I adhere and agree with many of his policies. He was against the BidenBrokenBorderBonanaza, something every Lumper here defends. He has good ideas on decreasing housing prices.
Immigrants with higher education levels add to the national fiscal coffers, since they make a lot of money. But immigrants with low education levels create a net fiscal drain, since they make less money and absorb more government benefits (as do their children).
If you just look at immigrants themselves, you find that college-educated immigrants tend to decrease the national debt, while immigrants without college degrees tend to add to the debt:

The Left Goes to War with Itself
A fierce conflict is brewing among progressives over how best to effect change.
On one side are people who believe in what can be thought of as a unified field theory of political and social change. Diverse issues, from climate change to abortion rights to racial equity, are seen as intimately interwoven, and progress on one priority will only be achieved with simultaneous progress on other fronts. On the other side are people who don't much buy this theory " and roll their eyes impatiently at theoretical arguments of any sort if they stand in the way of practical results on the specific issues they care most urgently about.

I get it, you can't accept that you are the equivalent of an LLM, you've been trained on narratives, and don't know how think about what you regurgitate, hell just look at Corky.
Trump exists to pillage, and loot Americans. He does nothing else.
What does communism have to do with Trump pillaging?
The government loots the Americans. Taxes have been increasing yoy with no appreciable benefit. Servicing the debt cost more than the US military Lumpers complain about so much.
