By Stephen Frank on Oct 23, 2018 09:07 pm
CalPERS is getting rid of oil and tobacco stocks, does not invest in Iranian or Turkish companies—but it has FINANCED the Russian government. “CalPERS, the $326-billion California state pension fund for some two million state cops, firefighters, and bureaucrats, has never been shy about its trumpeting its political correctness.  It’s positively famous for its pullouts of tobacco investments, Turkey investments, apartheid […]

Eber: State and Federal races a bore in California

By Stephen Frank on Oct 23, 2018 09:01 pm
As of yesterday the voter turnout for the 2018 election is approximately the same as for the 2014 election at this time.  While the media is playing up the horse races in many congressional and legislatively districts, few believe the race for statewide office is more than a formality, so are not covering those races.

Thousands of University of California Workers Expected to Strike

By Stephen Frank on Oct 23, 2018 08:57 pm
Will anyone notice if UC workers go on strike—will campuses be dirtier or cleaner?  Will the grass stop growing and the bathrooms be any dirtier?  And, if the strike ends, how much will it cost the taxpayers or the students.  Maybe outsourcing would save money?  But that is not on the table. “In June, the […]

Reed: Job-killing Regulations Deserve to Die

By Stephen Frank on Oct 23, 2018 08:50 pm
Facebook, Google and the other Silicon Valley tech companies have begged Congress for more H-1B visa—visas that allow them to fire American and hire folks from foreign countries at lower wage and benefit rates.  Then you have the IRS rules that interfere with the relationship between workers and their employers.  End the H-1B visa and […]

Sand: The charter school haters dig in

By Stephen Frank on Oct 23, 2018 08:48 pm
If you were just getting by, just living by the rules, not going the extra mile, you too would be suspicious and  concerned about charter schools.  In most cases charter schools out perform government schools.  Better, there are lines and lists of parents trying to get their children OUT of government schools and into charter […]
