Yeah it seemed pretty nonsensical to me, we were in the area running errands, there was a big line of cars, I got out and partner drove off to go shop while I waited in what I presumed to be another line of standing customers after the cars parked. They wouldn't even let me in that line. Seemed like bullshit so I was pretty rude to the guy. Anyway walked over to Zahara and liked what I got for the price / the service was good so I was happy. If I am buying up that way I will go to Zahara when I am and hopefully a good dispensary opens closer by in South County sometime.

Capitalism has a stranglehold on the nation, both major parties etc. Even within the democratic party if elements of what you like start to grow, the party themselves will do what they can to stamp it out. The 70-80+ yr old leadership has no problem telling the actual socialists in the party (very very few) to get fucked when they need to.

Case in point, DSA won most of the offices within the NV Dem party, the national party responded by yanking most of the money out of the state party coffers: https://theintercept.com/2021/03/08/nevada-democratic-party-dsa/ DSA itself then runs with stupid af takes on Ukraine etc that make them unlikely to broaden support further.

Sad part about it all is that centrist dems are still closer to GOP from the 90s than leftists and will still get called "radical communists / socialists". Fox News is (I think still) the most popular news network and shit like Tucker Carlson gets some of the highest ratings in TV. The channel is just a stream of propaganda against anything not part of the GOP. Hell the inspiration for the network started because the founder was pissed at how the media turned on Nixon. It's designed to poison the well and is remarkably good at it. You've got to fight crap like this before even getting a meaningful number of votes to just play a verrrrry delicate game of compromise and incremental adjustments are even going to begin.

Absent global catastrophe I don't think its possible here. However, you can organize and make a difference locally. Community aid and local collective aid / defense are feasible and achievable and more likely to actually help those around you than many other things.

Same. Nova gets slammed, a while back my partner dropped me off outside on the road and I walked up to get in line, kids working the (full) parking lot saw me walking up and told me I had to get in a car and get in line (easily 20 cars deep) to get in. Told him to fuck himself and walked over to Zahara, was very nicely surprised at it and will probably just go back there instead if I'm in the area instead of Nova. Good selection, prices include tax etc.

There are lots of reasons for a person to have an out of state plated vehicle that do not implicate them in voter fraud.

All of your other questions are secondary and unknowable based on just your observation above.

Please ignore the covid trolls below peddling misinformation. It could be covid, could also be RSV which is trending upward, could be multiple things.

​

Air quality has been terrible out west with the wildfires, has the jetstream moved any of that over to us in the past few days? Wondering if that might be playing a role.
