Living in LA, I’ve lived in many a neighborhood in which police helicopters circle all day and they don’t do anything except be loud an annoying.
You know what improved the morale and safety of my neighborhood in less than two weeks?
A new taco stand. I’m 1000% serious.

Don’t come at me with your anti-union dribble. Uber & Lyft didn’t spend $200m talking about unions, they spent it lying about worker protections (120% min wage /healthcare/ flexibility) Exit polls said 40% who voted yes thought it gave drivers a living wage. It doesn’t.

People say I should break my 12-year Twitter hiatus to share my latest animated COVID chart. It compares state cases factoring in partisanship since June 1, when science had proven methodology as to how to stop the spread after the initial sucker punch. dangoodspeed.com/covid/total…
