Putting a crypto insider in charge of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission is like putting a drug lord in charge of the DEA.
Industry insiders shouldn’t be regulators, but this is even worse.
Crypto isn’t even a legitimate industry, just one good at playing the catch-me-if-you-can game with the regulators it’s about to own.

So, about LA, as someone who grew up in CA, went to UCLA, &is visiting family/friends this weekend during #SueWalkstheEarth
I am literally not worried.

Trump could escalate further, from non-lethal(that still maim and kill) to firing bullets. I can't say what would happen but 2000 troops would be nowhere near sufficient to "pacify" downtown much less the rest of LA.
We need MASS PROTEST to tell him to fuck off out of LA (& everywhere else).

Im Hintergrund sind mehrere Gebäude zu erkennen, darunter ein großes, historisches Gebäude mit einem roten Dach und ein modernes, weißes Gebäude. Die Straße ist mit Stromleitungen für den Straßenbahnbetrieb ausgestattet. Der Himmel ist bedeckt, und es scheint ein sonniger Tag zu sein. Die Straße ist belebt, und die Fahrzeuge scheinen sich in Bewegung zu befinden.

My @torontostar column: Critics said multiplexes were madness. It turns out they provide cheaper and larger places to live. (No major parking problems, either!)
