    Sorry, but IDGaF about Newsome anymore. He has been vetoing some good bills lately, and while this is probably long overdue for repeal, it feels like a wink to oil companies in light of his other recent actions.

    Pander harder, Gavin. Unless you demonstrate a better pattern of behavior, you won’t get my vote in the primaries.

      He’s a mixed bag. He’s totally moving to the center so he can run in 2028. Totally disappointed with him

        He’s out of his mind if he thinks any conservative is going to be interested in him as a centrist. Just the word “California” makes conservatives in my area shudder.

        Controversial opinion here, I have no problems with speed cameras. Speed cameras only ticket people breaking the law unbiasedly. The easiest way to not get a speeding ticket, is to not speed. That’s it.

        My only problem is when the ticket is set to low, as in a ticket is issued within 10% or the speed limit. There has to be room for error between speedometer, tire size, and just human error.

        If you can’t maintain a reasonable speed in the posted area, then you shouldn’t be on the road. If you can and you excessively speed anyway, then fuck you, take your ticket.

        This opinion comes from someone who consistently speeds, but keeps it in relatively close.

        I’m just some white pedestrian- I like the idea of speed cameras in the city as a deterrent but other than that I’m not sure how I feel.

        The way I heard it was:

        Speed cameras reduce traffic stops which reduce unnecessary police interactions and violence. So it’s commendable

        But it obviously increases the surveillance state, which is disgusting

        Not sure how to weigh those against each other.
