UCSD’s big bang-bang theory
For once I agree with monaghan completely. This technology is ready-made for use in conjunction with [social media monitoring][1], [shutting down cell service][2], and [sonic crowd control][3] to constantly monitor and suppress dissent as easily as locate an active shooter.

Suzie’s Farm closes
This is incredibly sad news. These people tried to make a living supporting locovores, organic foodies, and those for humane husbandry. And as their reward, people robbed them of product and property (physical and intellectual), and punished them [out of personal prejudice][1]. I'm worried this will serve as a cautionary tale for anyone else thinking of "doing well by doing good." [1]: http://www.sandiegomagazine.com/Blogs/SD-Food-New…— June 27, 2017 3:59 p.m.
Deep inside Doug Manchester’s money machine
So if Doug Sr. is the sole owner and/or chair of all these shell companies and he "resigns," how the hell will they function? Large corporations have the infrastructure and board of directors to coast on autopilot with no mergers, acquisitions, or other major business changes until a new CEO comes on board. If it's just Manchester and various minions in outside accounting firms, it's not possible to believe he can hold these entities at arm's length even if he wanted to. But then again, he's being appointed by Trump, who is the worst serial abuser of the Emoluments Clause in U.S. history. Any mischief Dougie can do is nothing next to Donnie's malfeasance.— June 27, 2017 10:36 a.m.
Nonprofits go after Faulconer SoccerCity plan
I can't take credit for christening Faulconer "Kev-boy" (I believe Visduh gets that honor), but dwbat is absolutely right that it fits him as the frat boy Establishment puppet he is. Every time I see him speak, I can only picture Jerry Sanders' hand up his back making his lips move. And how more sleazy can someone be than to use your own PR mill as a charity front? As even [the Union-Tribune noted][1], there's no there there when it comes to any policies or beliefs beyond his own ambition. He's nothing more than a bully who grovels before those above and kicks at anyone he thinks beneath him. Like I said, beyond revealing his innate mean-spiritedness, I believe this episode shows he got too full of himself and made the mistake of taking sides among the developer and hotelier oligarchs who really run this city. And I think it's the beginning of the end for his career in elected office. [1]: http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/sdut-kev…— June 22, 2017 10:10 a.m.
Nonprofits go after Faulconer SoccerCity plan
Still can't believe the CA Attorney General hasn't cracked down on Kev-boy's [1 San Diego][1] personal slush-fund. How can anyone believe it's a "charity" when its stated purpose is "[to relieve the City of San Diego of the costs and burden of conducting activities on behalf of the office of the Mayor of San Diego, such as providing instruction to staff and maintaining work spaces][2]?" Since this isn't for *any* mayor of San Diego only Kev-boy, it's absolutely a **private foundation** and should not be tax exempt. Although 1 San Diego shows Kev-boy's contempt for the electorate has been there from the very beginning, this SuckerCity fiasco reveals that now he thinks he can roll the big money men. Can't wait to see how that works out for him. On a different note: don't see how the lede or the SDUSD logo picture caption about stiffing students belong with this story.

San Diego attorney James Davis couldn't find Bit Torrent movie thieves
I don't know. "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me 57 more times, more shame on you" just doesn't have the same ring to it.— June 19, 2017 1:57 p.m.
Want offshore wind turbines off La Jolla?
Bottom line, this isn't a battle about the *production* of energy—it's about the *transmission*; that is, who gets to sell it. Look at it that way and the story starts to make sense.— June 19, 2017 11:17 a.m.
Former Civic San Diego financial officer says he was fired after finding accounting discrepancies
Yeah, I'm not sure the confusion. The first paragraph has Avery's side that he was "wrongly terminated after raising concerns with questionable expenditures." All we know about the other side is that they met in secret to decide on "discipline/dismissal/release" of an unnamed employee. He only found out about it after, when by law it appears he should have been informed before. The only thing I'm confused about is, why aren't his attorneys also suing for wrongful termination for whistle blowing in addition to the Brown Act violations?— June 15, 2017 3:28 p.m.
Former Civic San Diego financial officer says he was fired after finding accounting discrepancies
"[N]otice only needs to be provided if the complaints came from another employee and not for performance issues"? Says who? Why can't any of our municipal entities figure out that nothing is more expensive or futile than a *novel interpretation* of a law. Especially one as clearly written and long litigated as the Brown Act? Oh, that's right: it's never *their* money on the line. They don't care about wasting taxpayer dollars on redundant bureaucracies like Civic San Diego, why should they care about burning even more instigating lawsuits?— June 15, 2017 10:01 a.m.
Does mayor's big money game verge on a crime?
And it makes me disappointed and sad that you still can't see that nothing about this proposal justified breaking the law.— June 12, 2017 6:21 p.m.
