NEW: The Pakistani military has a plan to drag the U.S. back to the region as a security partner by launching major military operations in Afghanistan. This plan also requires it to finally break the PTI and transform it into a more pliable domestic party:

Hey @donovan — thanks for bringing this to my attention. Turns out we have some legislative work to do to fix this for everyone, but in the words of our planning director, you can fix this specific issue with a paper cutter. Here’s what I learned: California’s Subdivision Map Act (SMA) Section 66434 requires a one-inch margin (. Our muni code reflects the state requirement, but it’s not an issue for us—our staff asked you to change it because our experience is that the County consistently rejects maps of record because of incorrect margins, sizing, use of a blue ball point pen, not using a permanent Sharpie for signatures, etc. on the maps. Obviously, this is ridiculous. It’s the kind of needless bureaucracy that contributes to our housing shortage. I’m sorry we rejected your map. But if we hadn’t, the County would have rejected the map later and then added the time and cost of doing the entire process twice, so our team was trying to get ahead of that. That said, we should have better communicated why we did this and obviously we need to work together to improve the upstream regs and/or downstream process at the County. We’ll do some outreach to state and county reps, and if you’re interested in helping, just DM me. Seems like the pro-housing army on this thread might be able to help us, too. Good luck with the project. Thank you for investing in San Jose.

American weapons programs need to be completely redone. The current strategy is to build a small number of weapons at a high price to fight yesterday’s war. Unless there are immediate and dramatic changes made, America will lose the next war very badly.
