The new @DrPatSoonShiong @LATimes isn’t hyping the local “No Kings” crowds: “Tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets across Southern California …,” which seems about right. LA is the focal point of much ICE enforcement, and yet didn’t muster a big reaction. https://t.co/qMlDtVxAKT

LA “No Kings” demo not wildly impressive. Only slightly larger than the send off at same spot for the Great Peace March, which was a giant flop. About 1/200th the size of the loose-borders 2006 Gran Marcha, which was huge. https://t.co/zUEKQbWo0N

Do we still need housing Abundance in Los Angeles if illegal immigrants leave? I assume yes, but am having doubts! Walked up the block–three “For Lease” signs, and at the end of the block is a big new apartment house with vacancies. https://t.co/h72sm4RvzT

Because it’s asymmetrical warfare? Instead of retreating to a sensible position on immigration, Dems seem to be planning for day when they’re in power and–with no filibuster–can open the borders & pass a massive amnesty. Then it’s game over-because citizenship won’t be undone. https://t.co/6AYewdrwR7

Grok wrong. I’m agnostic between “tech” solutions (automation) and paying higher wages for legal farmworkers. I assume that higher wages will drive employers to automate more.
