That is literally the most California of the options for this nutballs motivation.
For reference in case anyone isn't familiar - 29 Palms is a small shitty city in the inland area where it is hotter than piss, and dry. There is a Navy and Marine Corps installation there and not much else. If I recall correctly it is considered to be one of the shittiest places to be sent by Marines.
They can read a poll. Gun control is a horrible issue for Democrats. Hogg is precieved as the whiny bitchboy on the wrong side of a single-issue voter issue. Ditching him entirely helps their aggregate electoral chances.
The current administration is almost too easy to target, so why distract the public by trotting out bad/losing personalities?
They already do it in Podcasts and it is usually extremely ham-fisted. The presenter will be mid sentence talking about something and suddenly IMPROVE YOUR DIET WITH FACTOR
Russia sent the same "token" delegation they sent to talks right after the war started. In case it wasn't already obvious and clear, they aren't negotiating in good faith... They're just stalling.
Kubrick did more compelling practical effects with matte backgrounds, invisible wires and dudes in monkey suits in 1968.
Modern Hollywood would rather film everything in a greenscreen closet and then "fix" it in post. The result is uninspired garbage that doesn't look good in any era.
Watch crypto miners will be trying to build LHCs in their yard with asinine electricity costs to make a few micrograms of gold.
It fucked them because it locked them into Harris, who was also a uniquely awful candidate. It screwed voters out of having a meaningful primary with real debate about issues.
Please at least just phase it out instead of immediate elimination.
Eliminating it at this time would mean there is a pretty large demo who want to go full EV or at least PHEV for their next vehicle but they won't be able to as easily.
For example if you're driving a late 90s or early 2000s car, you practiced austerity and deferred maintenance over the last decade to survive financially and/or build savings, your current vehicle may be on its last leg.
This means that during that time, your tax money subsidized a bunch of rich douchebag early adopters to get themselves a Tesla Plaid, and now it's finally your turn to dip a reluctant toe into the new car market, and for your trouble you get tariff-induced price hikes and evaporating EV credits.
Is this to me counteract the Migswitch specifically?
Seems like a load of crap either way.
Its Wish.com Timothy McVeigh. In both appearances and actions.
