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

There's no nooner so I'll put this comedy here:
Insane video of Russian anti aircraft gunner losing control of a YakB-12.7 heavy machine gun usually attached to a Mi-24 gunship but repurposed to shoot down drones.

Well since Lumpers are just happy he died, if he died at the hands of Russians does that change their opinions?
So it turns out Graham inspected a drone factory in Ukraine yesterday. Russia blew up that facility "today".

The guy bought a few companies and collected government subsidies.

So you were against EV subsidies?
I give him credit, he didn't pull the DotCom era BillionaireBoomer BS. Try to change the world with NGO's and mosquitos.
Starlink is providing a service to the government, and they are much cheaper than the "service" before it.
To negate the acheivments of SpaceX is silly.
That being said, my home country has delivered a blow to the US and SpaceX's belief they will get to the moon first.
Pay attention, let me know if you catch the detail which will get CCP to the moon first.

Why in the world would Pres Trump be so against a bi-partisan bill that helps working Americans?
Maybe because its just a puff piece of legislation, much like Trump.
FTA: "The legislation can play an important role in encouraging states and localities to make changes to expand housing supply, but it doesn't require them to make those changes," Freemark said. "Congress has chosen not to preempt local and state governments and tell them what to do,"
I have said this multiple times, clearly people aren't able to read, but if you can read "Why Nothing Works"

I find it funny a Canadian posting problems with US housing supply when Canadian supply is in a crisis. See when I post about CALI problems, no other State has the issue CA does. But not ReDial, where he lives is in shambles so he has to complain about the US. Denial isn't just a river.
Here's why Canada's housing supply crisis is far worse than the US
