Picket Fences was similar to that, an early David E Kelley show (after LA Law). Some of that weirdness was then further carried over by Kelley to Ally McBeal and Boston Legal. Utter products of their time periods 90s and early aughts.

Odd omission on CRM. They have HubSpot for Campaigns, but basic management of your customers, installed base, sales alignments, opportunities ... nothing there. SFDC announces "Headless CRM" and Anthropic is like meh.

Moral code is downstream from culture and not every culture sees cheating as a moral failing. As Princeton's demo skewed hard into a more international student body, the underlying cultural assumptions have shifted. The Christian exten

Crime and Grime - which is what SF is currently trying to turn around, but LA is still in full denial mode about. Seeing a Fentanyl victim on your way to work ruins your mood. Using Waymo as a woman because Ubers are legit rape traps anchor

Love the doomerism, while millions of people would love to move to the US and others are currently fighting deportations into their local paradise tooth and nail. So what is it now? Best country or totally behind? With that, good luck movin
