IMHO SCOTUS took a pass because how could they equitably address public pension problems which were caused by no talent ass clowns (translation shit for brains when it comes to applying middle school math concepts WRT managing a portfolio)
basically no one w/ access to the controls (of the local pension portfolio) has the balls or brains to fix what is akin to 737max software/hardware which was suppose to a stability augmentation system (or SAS for short)
anyway been discussing the two crashes w/ friends including a 777 driver and an ex minion of bill (gates),… and pointed out that other big company that is a neighbor of Microsoft has buggy blue screen of death software that fails when it encounters hardware configurations it did not expect and were not accounted for,… which unfortunately seems to be the cause of two aircraft to crashes
the parallel is given trends w/ the local public pension portfolio, seems an economic crash is inevitable,… I say this because this past January the UT did a front page story on the 13th pension check
but sadly the author missed reporting on “bad math?!” and the fact that the city of “bankrupt” Detroit, also had 13th pension check program,… coincidence?!
so tried to eMail the reported of the UT article outlining key ideas I think she should have included,… no response,… so contacted the UT readers representative who responded,…
Thank you for pointing this out and writing in. I’ll forward to the editor and reporter on this story.

as I see things,… the main stream news along w/ “fake leadership” ignoring the cluster fuck, only makes the makes the problem (and the various knock on effects) more difficult to fix
too bad there wasn’t a California voter proposition that mandated a uniform/warning-label be worn to clearly identify those at the controls (along with their partisans) so sheeple in SD understand the public pension debt obligations are self inflected wounds caused by DISHONEST and DUMB portfolio management
if it were up to me, I’d recommend a public pension portfolio stress test (kind of like what the fed does w/ too big to fail banks)
but alas seems “cannabis equity” is a more pressing issue
[quote] POT BUSINESS HELP FOR LOW-INCOME?
San Diego Councilman Chris Ward plans to propose a “cannabis equity” program this spring that would aim to give low-income residents in neighborhoods affected by the war on drugs a leg up in opening marijuana businesses in the city.
…Bry, who was a high-tech entrepreneur before joining the council in 2016, said she’s researching how the city could legally encourage marijuana entrepreneurs to use the high-tech model when launching their businesses.
“It’s not fully baked,” she said. “I’m at the beginning of exploring it.”
…It would be illegal to have a cannabis equity program based on race or ethnicity, but programs based on income are legal under state law.
