There are a lot of words here that don't relaly say a lot but here are two immediate problems. First: > The story also turns out to be in part about why California, which had a growth streak dating back to the gold rush, saw it broken in 2020, when the population shrank by 182,000, causing a first-ever loss of a congressional seat. It seems disingenuous at best (and intellectually dishonest at worst) to talk about what happened in 2020 without even mentioning the unprecedented pandemic, Not a great start. Second, using the DEFH lawsuit against Activision-Blizzard as any kind of example of government overreach is on very shaky grounds. For anyone unfamiliar iwth the case, let me recount some highlights: 1. Employees engaged in cube crawls where they'd get drunk and go from cube to cube harassing female employees; 2. One female employee was in a relationship with a superior. That superior showed a photo of her vagine at a company offsite. That woman committed suicide; 3. Breastfeeding mothers would store breast milk that they would pump while at work in a fridge they shared with beer for some reason. They complained that their breast milk was being stolen without any action taken. The state spent 2 years investigating these claims. To me this is exactly what the government should be doing so you have a pretty high bar to meet to show this lawsuit is evidence of any kind of state wrongdoing.
