Such a stupid article, unbelievable 🤦🏽‍♂️ This 2024 Business Insider “True Cost” hit piece on Cybertruck aged like milk. Nearly 2 years later, reality obliterates their doom-and-gloom narrative: • “Unprofitable $100k gamble”: Cybertruck achieved positive gross margins in 2024 and remains solidly profitable per unit as production scales. • “4-year delay disaster”: Building revolutionary stainless steel exoskeleton + gigacasting took time. Tesla is now ramping hard, with strong production heading into 2026 global expansion. • “Range flop (320-440 mi)”: Real-world tests consistently hit or exceed EPA — dual-motor regularly achieves 340+ mi, independent tests confirm 334-370 mi in mild conditions. Meanwhile, the GMC Hummer EV uses nearly DOUBLE the battery capacity (~200-212 kWh vs Cybertruck’s 123 kWh) yet delivers similar or lower real-world range — proof of Cybertruck’s superior efficiency. • “Massive environmental footprint from battery mining”: The opposite is true. Cybertruck’s smaller, highly efficient pack requires far fewer critical minerals than rivals like the Hummer EV (twice the battery size for comparable performance), meaning less mining and a smaller overall impact. • “Stuck in snow, bad panels, unsafe”: Early clips were pre-production units on all-season tires. Current traction/off-road modes dominate snow, mud, and trails. Panel fit & build quality dramatically improved — 2025+ units are near flawless. • “Pedestrian killer, banned in Europe”: Earned 5-star NHTSA + IIHS Top Safety Pick+ with excellent AEB pedestrian scores. Sharp edges & weight are regulatory hurdles, but the “truck license” requirement for vehicles over ~3.5-4t is standard for ALL large pickups in Europe — not unique to Cybertruck. Homologation continues for select markets. • “Won’t sell, crowded market flop”: Iconic design = endless free marketing. Tens of thousands delivered, demand remains strong, Tesla still leading while competitors chase. And the part they completely missed: Cybertruck owners are absolutely OBSESSED. Highest owner satisfaction in the industry, a fanatic community unlike anything else on the road. People don’t just drive it — they live it. Revolutionary products always get early hate. Facts > fearmongering. Cybertruck isn’t just surviving — it’s dominating

BJP will do a great disservice to Tami Nadu if it empowers an extremely cunning & dangerous psychopath called Joseph Vijay! Why Vijay is a psychopath! There are reports suggesting that Vijay used advanced professional cinematic cameras to film the Karur crowd, a footage that could potentially be used in the climax scene of Jana Nayagan. This is reportedly why he has approached the Supreme Court to stay the SIT investigation ordered by the Madras High Court. The SIT probe could expose this disturbing plan and reveal the blatant inhuman selfishness behind it. Hence, Vijay has rushed to the Supreme Court to halt the investigation There’s a reason why I don’t rule out the above allegation. Vijay had originally sought permission to hold the Karur meeting at 12 pm., and his IT Wing even instructed supporters to arrive at the venue by noon, assuring them that Vijay would be there at the same time. However, he turned up nearly seven hours late, by which time the crowd had swelled in anticipation of his arrival. When he finally appeared, professional grade flashlights that are typically used for late evening or night film shoots were used. How is it that, for an event scheduled at noon, such equipment was ready and waiting precisely when he arrived hours later? The critical question is, was the entire episode staged and pre-planned? If it’s proven that Vijay used the Karur crowd for his movie Jana Nayagan, the film could and rightfully should face a ban. And if Vijay had gone a step further and attempted to film the stampede, then his political party itself deserves to be banned as the tragedy claimed the lives of 43 innocent civilians including children, toddlers, and babies. What kind of a self-centered narcissist is Vijay? He fears that the SIT investigation will bring out some brutal truths about him and his true colors. Vijay’s insistence on halting the SIT investigation raises serious questions. A CBI probe, on the other hand, is known to take years like the Pollachi sexual assault case which got dragged on for over five. By preferring a CBI inquiry instead, Vijay might simply be buying time, hoping the matter fades before the facts come to light. Vijay claims he has quit cinema from the peak of his career to serve people. Why didn't anyone ask him the need for his Vijay handle to be active? Is he using politics and people's lives for his past, present and future movie collections? Vijay is not a human being at all. BJP's defense of Vijay is unjustifiable, unpardonable and absolutely DISGUSTING! There are reports that BJP is trying to woo Vijay into the NDA alliance. BJP supporters who are reading this post can touch their conscience and ask themselves if I they want to contest my above analysis and ask themselves if this is the kind of a dangerous character BJP should be defending. There can nothing more inhuman and disgusting politics than this. I am surprised even H Raja defended Vijay's delay of 7 hours. Didn't expect this from such a seasoned nationalist. Perhaps he wants to become an MLA again. Personals goals are always bigger than the larger cause and the state's interests. Why Vijay is more dangerous than DMK! Atleast, DMK is a known evil. We know what they are capable of and we have contained them by voting them out consistently and ensured they faced humiliating electoral defeats. Vijay and his fans are a catastrophe in waiting. Just imagine if his party ends up with 10 MLAs who are the same people who once climbed Temple walls with their footwear on, jumped on transformers, and vandalized public and private property. That’s the kind of chaos we’d be dealing with in Tamil Nadu. Vijay is turning out to be the most dangerous politician Tamil Nadu has ever seen. I’ve been warning about this long before he even launched his party, and after the Karur tragedy, I feel vindicated. Concluding words! I am not defending DMK here. In fact, anti-DMK is in my blood. All I am saying is Vijay is even more dangerous because DMK is a KNOWN EVIL that can be tamed electorally which we have done in the past. But Vijay is an UNKNOWN DEVIL. Karur proved he will go to any extent to gratify his megalomaniac ego! Just because I support PM Modi, I can't remain silent when BJP makes grave mistakes that would cost Tamil Nadu dearly dear. Called a spade a spade! Quoting over my old post on why I was hypercritical of Vijay from the beginning. I had then concluded by say "Bye for now Vijay". But I would ideally love to say GOODBYE Vijay! Joseph Vijay is not a normal human being, and I'd consider anyone and everyone supporting him to be more dangerous than Joseph Vijay himself! TVK Vijay Sums it up! FY Immediate attention please Narendra Modi Amit Shah ! ! CC: K.Annamalai BJP Tamilnadu Nainar Nagenthran

Thread: BJP's Bold Surge in Kerala's 2025 Local Body Elections – A Game-Changer on the Horizon 1/10: Kerala's local body polls on Dec 9 and 11 have wrapped up, with results dropping today (December 13). Amid high 73%+ turnout, the BJP-led NDA is making waves by fielding a record 21,065 candidates – up massively from past cycles. That's 19,871 pure Lotus warriors! From scraping benches for nominees to dominating the fray – this is the BJP's biggest splash yet in God's Own Country. 2/10: What's fueling this? Strategic inclusivity. BJP has allocated over 40% seats to women – aligning with Kerala's record 52% female candidates overall (39,609 women in the mix). Empowering voices like these isn't just numbers; it's building a diverse, dynamic base. Youth power too: Hundreds of under-25s, including BJYM leaders, are contesting. Fresh faces for fresh ideas. 3/10: Hindu youth are rallying big-time. Tired of the LDF's "welfare fatigue" and the UDF's "old guard," they're drawn to the BJP's development pitch – think QR-coded voter slips, AI governance promises and complete transformation of Kerala towns to First World status. Amit Shah nailed it: Youth across communities want "performance over propaganda." Early trends show NDA eyeing 25% vote share. 4/10: This youth wave signals trouble for the communists led by the CPIM. Anti-incumbency bites hard after 10 years – gold smuggling scandals, pension delays and Vizhinjam port woes have eroded trust. The LDF's 2024 Lok Sabha flop (just 1 seat) and internal rifts (like CPIM-Jamaat friction) point to decline. The BJP's rise could flip urban bastions like Trivandrum Corporation – a semi-final before the 2026 Assembly polls. 5/10: Kerala Christians are the UDF's lifeline. With Christian backing the Congress is holding on to Kerala by its fingernails. But the BJP's outreach (Suresh Gopi's Lok Sabha victory and anti-love jehad narratives) is pulling Christians away from the Congress. And here's the kicker: Christian population dipped to below 18% (from higher shares), hit by low births and migration. UDF's vote bank is shrinking fast. 6/10: With Hindus (55% population) consolidating behind BJP – no more "soft Left" drift to SNDP/NSS – the math tilts in favour of Saffron. Add even 10-15% Christian swing (seen in Thrissur Lok Sabha), and NDA could coalition-crush in key districts. LDF's urban slump (Thrissur Corp turnout crashed to 62%) screams shift. The Kerala duopoly is cracking. 7/10: Ground buzz: BJP's door-to-door "Mission 2025" hit 50 lakh homes, countering "poisoned narratives." Muslim candidates like Mumtaz in Hindu wards signal bold inclusivity. Even wall graffiti is saffron-fied. NDA's mantra: Politics of Performance vs Corruption. Voters feel change is coming. 8/10: Verdict today could preview 2026 Assembly election: BJP as kingmaker or bigger. From 1% in past to 20%+ barrier-breaker – Kerala is awakening. LDF down, UDF wobbly, NDA up. Perhaps the people of Kerala are finally realising that Development is preferable to Division. 9/10: Quick stats recap: 75K+ candidates, 2.8 crore voters, 1,199 local bodies at stake. BJP's jump: From marginal to major player. Women and youth quotas = smart politics. Hindu youth = the engine. CPIM fall = Inevitable. Congress cling = temporary. Eyes on counts. 10/10: Kerala deserves Vikas, not Vikalp-less drama. Whatever the voters have decided will be evident in a few short hours, but one thing is abundantly clear - from here on, the BJP is a significant player in Kerala politics. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

Andy Weir describing how he wrote The Martian and film got made is very entertaining. He said, “I wanted to make sure dorks like me would enjoy it, so made it as scientifically accurate as possible” Here the play-by-play: ▫️started writing full time in 1999 after getting fired from AOL (which had just merged with Netscape) ▫️he was a programmer and had a ton of stock options…because he was fired, had 6 months to excercise them and sold at AOL’s peak before bubble popped ▫️spent 3 years on book ideas that got “no traction” (and no agent wanted to sign him) ▫️went back to work as software engineer and wrote online as a hobby (webcomics, short stories, serials) ▫️The Martian was one of three serials he was working on 2009 (other one was about alien invading earth, another about a mermaid in 19th century New England) ▫️sent stories to a mailing list of 3,000 readers he had built up over a decade ▫️took 3 years to write The Martian, “posting a chapter at a time [every] 2 months” or so ▫️ “spent more time researching than writing, because researching was more fun than writing” (very relatable) ▫️readers corrected him along the way and when he was done, a bunch of them asked if he could make a Kindle version because reading it on his website sucked ▫️Weir didn’t want to charge because was making solid living as programmer…but Kindle has minimum of $0.99 ▫️all his fans started buying the Kindle book and leaving positive reviews ▫️this “sales spike” pushed book up charts and hit bestseller lists and just snowballed after that on Amazon ▫️within a short span, major book publisher reached out…then Matt Damon expressed interest on a film project…then Ridley Scott threw his hat in the ring ▫️Weir negotiated these deals while “debugging code” on his day job Described the process as “one of those things where everything just snuck up, bit by bit” before boooooooooom!! Film came out in 2015: made $630m on $105m budget (and Project Hail Mary might pass that now). *** Link to vid (2017):

Warren Buffett on why chasing yield on cash is a mistake: A Berkshire shareholder, Ed Schmidt, asks where all the sidelined money is being held, pointing out that every option looks bad: Banks paying nothing, risky corporate bonds, and government bonds that "seem less and less sound as each day passes." Buffett agrees the choices are poor, but says it doesn't matter, because Berkshire treats short-term money completely differently from most investors. "He's certainly right that all the choices are lousy for short-term money now, but we don't play around with short-term money." He explains that in 2008, before the crisis hit, Berkshire owned no commercial paper and no money market funds. The big money stayed in treasuries, earning almost nothing, and Buffett is blunt that the temptation to reach for a little more is exactly the trap to avoid: "The last thing in the world we would do at Berkshire is to try and get five or 10 or 20 or 30 basis points more by going into some other things with our short-term money." His framing for why is simple: "It is a parking place. It's an unattractive parking place, but it's a parking place where we know we'll get our car back when we want it." The reason that matters became clear in September 2008. Berkshire had committed $6.5 billion to the Mars-Wrigley deal months earlier, long before anyone knew what that autumn would bring. When the date arrived, the form of the money was everything: "I had to show up with $6.5 billion. I couldn't show up with a money market fund or some commercial paper or anything of the sort. I had to show up with cash." That's why his conviction lands where it does: "Virtually the only thing I feel good about in terms of having large amounts of ready cash is treasury bills." Charlie Munger puts it more sharply, reframing the whole question as a discipline issue rather than a yield issue: "I think it's really stupid to try and maximize returns on short-term money if you're an opportunistic game the way we are, where we want to suddenly deploy money." He points to pipelines that came up for sale on a Saturday and had to close by Monday. There was no room to be stuck in "some dubious instrument" when the cash was suddenly needed. Buffett adds his own version of the same story, a pipeline whose seller feared bankruptcy the following week and needed the money immediately, with regulatory clearance still pending. Berkshire offered to close early and let the regulators review everything afterward, even unwind the deal if required. The point being that readiness, not return, is what closes deals: "Our ability to come up with cash when people need it, and when the rest of the world is petrified for some reason, has enabled several deals to get done." And that is the entire logic behind holding tens of billions in treasuries earning almost nothing: "When somebody comes to us and they say we need a deal right now, we can do it, and they know we can do it, and it can be big. It just has to be attractive."

Wall Street is running the same trade two Nobel Prize winners used to nearly destroy the global financial system. The Fed's OWN economists know it. They literally wrote a paper about it and named the paper after the fund that blew up. It's called "LTCM Redux?" and it ran in the Journal of Financial Economics. Here's what they are worried about repeating: Long-Term Capital Management launched in 1994 under John Meriwether, formerly head of bond trading at Salomon Brothers. Myron Scholes and Robert Merton sat on the board and won the 1997 Nobel Prize in Economics while the fund was running. A former vice chairman of the Federal Reserve Board was a partner. It returned 20% in its first year, 43% in the second, and 41% in the third. The strategy was to find nearly identical bonds priced slightly differently and bet the gap would close. The gaps were pennies, so the only way to make real money was to borrow enormous amounts against them. Entering 1998 the fund had $4.8 billion of its own capital, had borrowed more than $125 billion, and held derivatives with a notional value above $1 trillion. At the end of 1997 the partners handed capital back to investors without cutting their positions to match, which pushed their leverage higher still. Then Russia defaulted in August 1998. Money ran for safety, the gaps that were supposed to close widened instead, and every position moved against them at once. Equity fell from $4.8 billion to $2.3 billion by the first of September. Roughly $4.6 billion evaporated in under four months. On September 23 the New York Fed put 14 firms in one room and did not let them leave. By six that evening they had committed $3.6 billion and taken 90% of the fund. The Fed itself lent nothing. Those 14 firms were LTCM's own lenders, and a forced sale of more than a trillion dollars in positions into a market with no buyers would have torn through their balance sheets first. Even with the rescue in place, the chairman of Union Bank of Switzerland resigned over a $780 million loss on options it had written on the fund. And the ending of that story is what makes it matter now: The banks were repaid in full by 2000 and nobody was charged with anything. Meriwether raised a new fund the following year. The lesson the market took away was that when a leveraged fund gets big enough to threaten the plumbing, somebody convenes a room. That precedent is now sitting underneath the largest bond market on Earth. Hedge funds held $2.4 trillion of US Treasuries at the end of last year, financed with about $1.8 trillion of borrowed money in the repo market. The cash-futures basis trade alone reached $830 billion as of last September, close to double its previous peak. Leverage on it commonly runs 50x and can reach 100x. And the conditions for a disaster are already here... The 30 year yield hit its highest level since 2007 twice in the past week. The long end has been in a buyers' strike since June. Yesterday the Treasury abandoned its own published schedule and doubled its bond buybacks without warning. What killed LTCM was liquidity disappearing from the market where its borrowed money was parked. And this time the rescue is being drawn up in ADVANCE. Academics from Harvard, Columbia and Chicago have already published a proposal urging the Fed to build a standing facility to absorb these positions when they unwind. Morgan Stanley estimates these positions shrank by more than $200 billion in July as spreads compressed. On top of that, central clearing becomes mandatory at the end of this year. The trade genuinely makes Treasury markets more liquid on ordinary days. But ordinary days were never the problem. Two Nobel laureates and a former Fed vice chairman could not see it coming from inside the building. Whoever is running this version is not smarter than they were, and the position is far larger...

Been discussion on Blessing Adeoye Jr. of Kinda Funny taking issue with #Xbox going to Jez Corden of Windows Central, for new CEO Asha Sharma's interview. Don't think it's "jealousy" contrary to Xbox fandom musings. He listed numerous far more reputable journalists/outlets for the task, with no mention of Kinda Funny. Instead, think it's a matter of credibility and authenticity. Jez's often referred to as an Xbox and Microsoft "shill" with good reason (reasons later). Even by important figures such as Obsidian's co-founder. Xbox going to Jez signals they wanted controlled PR and favoured narratives, not opportunities for hard hitting insight or truth. Inadvertently very revealing. Xbox's moves this last week let us know how Xbox is still operating. +First Asha immediately begins aggressive toxic parasocial antics and "I'm one of you!" PR on social media that Xbox execs are famed for, to evangelise the fandom and have them run positive PR. +She creates a new Gamertag just a month ago with very irregular play, later admits it was a shared account played by others. +Her X responses seem robotic and inorganic. +Xbox have Tom Warren (another Xbox leaning journalist) of The Verge run a hit piece attempting to scapegoat Sarah Bond, which doesn't stand up to scrutiny. +In Satya Nadella's very long statement on the shake ups, Sarah Bond isn't mentioned once. +Asha's first interview is with Jez. +Messaging is a whole load of nothing. Teases things fans want to hear without actually committing to changes. What this all indirectly tells us is it's the same slippery and not so authentic Xbox, and we shouldn't really put much stock into anything they or their execs are currently saying. Only folk who are going to be won over by this controlled PR are the same naive echo chamber Xbox hopefuls who've fallen for or parrot every Xbox narrative/PR, despite countless flip flops, pivots and failings. So why's Jez Corden discredited or seen as an Xbox "shill" by so many? Myriad reasons. This is the same guy who said: +Development on Everwild was going well, gameplay loop was nailed and we'd see it soon, before it was cancelled shortly after. +He wasn't worried about The Initiative or Perfect Dark based on research he'd done, despite layoffs/Crystal Dynamics stuff. Was canned and studio shut shortly after. +Xbox wasn't porting games to PS5, rumour was fanboy hopium, before Xbox announced PS5 ports a few months later. +Implied all Laura Fryer worked on was Xbox One after her critical vid on Xbox, when she'd worked on OG Xbox and 360. +Physical games retail was dead in the UK after unfavourable Xbox sales, when data showed ~40% of sales of the Top 20 games were physical. +Said WuKong never mentioned Series S as a reason for Xbox version delay, implied it was a deal, despite WuKong director pinning blame on Series S. +Xbox might drop prices on games, only to suggest we knew price increases were coming when Xbox increased prices on GP. +No aspect of Halo rumours were true, when Halo moved to UE5 per rumours. +Rumours of Phil's retirement were made up, just months before he retired. +He'd never covered Avowed when called out, when he'd done an article hyping it. +Mischaracterised Tim Stuart's quote on bringing games to more platforms with clarification question to Phil on Game Pass instead of "first party experiences". +Sony's shown "no interest in mobile" when they acquired multiple mobile game studios, been open on mobile expansion and bringing more IP to mobile, set up a mobile gaming division in 2022 and have one of the worlds highest earning mobile games in Fate/Grand Order. +Promoted ABK acquisition and how good it'd be for devs/gamers, when Xbox has suffered 4k+ layoffs since (FAR higher than industry avg in % of total workforce), most in ABK, and GP has seen a 100% price increase in last 2+ years alone. I could go on and on. Point is, so much of the time Jez's running PR, defence and favoured narratives for Xbox, often with misinformation

dude runs a private AI host out of his basement on 8 stacked 3090s an accounting firm signed the moment they realized their client financials would physically never touch a third party the rig pays his mortgage now the setup is eight RTX 3090s lined up on an open frame down in his basement - fans roaring, yellow zip ties holding cables, a little monitor blinking stats beside a cheap keyboard. it was built as a mining rig and the dashboard still looks the part the accounting firm didn’t care that it looked like a crypto leftover they cared about one promise no cloud provider could make them - that their clients’ financial records would never leave a machine the firm could physically point to that promise closed the deal here’s the corner they were backed into: accounting firms hold the most sensitive data imaginable - tax filings, payroll, full financial histories. they wanted AI to speed up the tedious work, but routing that data through a cloud model was a liability their partners would never sign. so they sat frozen while the tech moved on without them he handed them the one version that cleared legal: a private model running on hardware in a basement, not a server farm they’d never see the build behind the rig: eight 3090s stack up to 192GB of combined vram - enough to run a 70B model with real context through vLLM. the firm’s documents get indexed into an isolated vector database, so every answer pulls only from their own files. queries hit a local endpoint, replies come back, nothing ever leaves the basement. used 3090s were the quiet genius move - around $700 a card instead of triple that for new silicon the rig that once mined coins for pennies now serves inference that bills like a service the contract that covers his house: → managing partner came down for an in-person demo → asked the only question that mattered: where does the data live → he pointed at the rig and said “right here, nowhere else” → they signed a monthly deal before leaving the basement the economics underneath: → 8 used 3090s: ~$5,600, paid off in the first two months → electricity: a few hundred a month under load → what the firm pays: enough to clear his mortgage every month → margin: almost all of it, because the data center is under his own house real firms burn a fortune on compliant cloud infrastructure he does the same job in a basement, and the data is safer for the dumbest reason possible - it has nowhere else it can go the rig that looks one loose cable from death is quietly the most trusted machine his client has ever touched

The Altar for sacrificing the red heifers in Jerusalem has just been built, and they are saying the ceremony may take place any day as I've been warning about for many years now. But what exactly does this all mean? Let's talk about how it relates to biblical prophecy and how even most professing Christians are missing the deeper biblical narrative unfolding beyond what's just on the surface. The Red Heifer prophecy from the Book of Numbers involves a unique ritual for purification in Jewish tradition. A completely red heifer is sacrificed and burned, and its ashes are mixed with water to create a "water of cleansing" for those who've touched a corpse, which symbolizes purification from death's impurity. This commandment is linked to Messianic hopes and the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem. Jews are awaiting a Messiah who aligns with specific prophecies, such as bringing peace to the Middle East and the world through his political power. They believe Jesus didn't fulfill these expectations during his first coming, but we as Christians hold that He will achieve this in his Second Coming as He told the apostles and explained in Revelation 19. The Red Heifer ritual taking place now is seen as part of their preparations for this future era. We as Christians, however, obviously believe Jesus is the Messiah and see His rejection as setting the stage for the rise of their false messiah. John 5, particularly verses 43-47, where Jesus says, "I have come in my Father's name, and you do not accept me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him," The New Testament, especially the Gospels, tells a story of how Jewish leaders and many people didn't recognize Jesus as the Messiah, symbolizing a common human struggle to see divine truth. This theme is captured in John 1:11, where despite Jesus coming to His own, He was not accepted. This led to the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD, which was divine judgment for this rejection. Here's where people really need to pay attention as to not be deceived by this deception as most people will: I want people to keep in mind that God used rebellious, pagan nations such as Rome and Assyria as instruments of wrath against Jerusalem for her harlotry, illustrating His supreme sovereignty and His unique capability to employ the wicked to enact judgment on the wicked. What we are about to witness is a repeat of the judgement cycles on Israel. In the book of Amos, the prophet warns Israel of a coming "Day of the Lord" where they will face punishment for their disobedience (Amos 5:18-20). Similarly, the prophet Zephaniah uses the term to describe a day of wrath and distress that will come upon Jerusalem (Zephaniah 1:14-18). That’s what brought the day of the Lord, was their harlotry, God delivered Israel into the hands of their enemies because she played the harlot. And so it will be at the end, when the Great day of the Lord comes in the final days and the Lord God delivers Jerusalem, the harlot, into the hands of her enemies, which will ultimately be the beast and his kings as described in Revelation 17:16. If we interpret the Bible with the Bible, as we should, you will see that the harlot of Babylon, can only be Jerusalem. Let’s first look at Revelation 11:8 which speaks of the death of the two witnesses. “And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of THE GREAT CITY, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also OUR LORD WAS CRUCIFIED.” So obviously “that great city” is also where Our Lord was crucified. Now keep in mind the phrase ‘the great city.’ Let’s look at Revelation 14:8, “And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.” In Revelation 17:18 we read, “And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.” So we can see in when speaking about Babylon or the harlot, the same phrase, ‘the great city’ is also used. In chapter 11 ‘the great city’ is identified as Jerusalem, and the great city is also used in chapters 14 and 17 when speaking of Babylon. If we let the Bible interpret the Bible, we can’t come to any other conclusion than that the harlot of Babylon is Jerusalem. Which also makes because Jerusalem is the only city that God would call a harlot, because it’s the only city that God ever made a Holy Covenant with. It’s the only city that He tried to make His bride. The martial analogy is used throughout scripture both with Jerusalem and Israel as well as the general body of believers who become part of Israel spiritually. The body of believers, both Jew and gentile make up God’s bride. And so there’s really no reason for God to call a city a harlot unless that city or the people of it betrayed a holy covenant with God. And there’s only one nation God made a covenant with, which is Jerusalem and the nation of Israel. Harlotry is not a reference to mere wicked acts, it’s specifically a reference to betrayal. I think it’s pretty clear that Jerusalem is that great city, Babylon the harlot, the unfaithful wife who has continually betrayed her marriage with God. And of course Jerusalem and Israel are referred to a harlot in Isaiah 1:21, Jer 2;20, 3:1-11, Ez. 16;1-43, and Gal. 4:25. Revelation 17:7 shows the beast initially supporting the harlot, symbolizing their alliance in the beginning. The beast's backing is key for the harlot's power, indicating they start off in a partnership where they rely on each other. The partnership between Jerusalem (Mystery Babylon) and the beast kicks off with a phase of mutual support, where the beast's political might boosts Jerusalem's position. This alliance, rooted in common goals, political gain, or perhaps mutual respect, sees Jerusalem siding with the beast, likely aiming to ensure a prominent and secure spot on the world stage. The turning point comes as an unholy, multi-faith gentile alliance, led by the beast, becomes "awakened" to the dark agenda of Mystery Babylon (the Zionist, Talmudic-led New World Order). This realization or awakening leads them to view Jerusalem not as a city to be protected or championed but as the source of crimes against humanity by Mystery Babylon, Jerusalem. This shift reflects a broader disillusionment with the initial alliance, as the true nature and consequences of Jerusalem's actions and influence become apparent to the beast and his coalition. Driven by their realization, the beast and its allies turn against Jerusalem, fulfilling Revelation 17:16's prophecy. Their initial partnership ends dramatically as they destroy the harlot, judging Jerusalem for her crimes and dark agendas. This act is depicted as complete and ruthless, demonstrating the intensity of the betrayal and the beast's deep hostility after the alliance dissolves. After destroying Jerusalem (Mystery Babylon), the beast and its allies bring about a short-lived period of false peace. This time, free from the harlot's influence, feels like a victory and freedom from her tyrannical agenda. However, this peace is not genuine but a poor imitation of God's true kingdom. It marks the height of the beast's power, where his rule goes unopposed. But this phase is temporary, serving as a calm before the storm of ultimate divine judgment and intervention. And that's exactly why, towards the end of the tribulation, after the harlot is taken down, they'll start declaring "peace and safety." (1 Thessalonians 5:3) They'll be under the impression that Satan's empire has been toppled and that the Millennium (1,000 Years of peace) is about to kick off. But that's when they're going to be hit with a harsh reality check as Christ makes His entrance, coming in the clouds to crash their party, which is the sudden destruction talked about in 1 Thess 5:3. And I believe that's exactly what Christians are unknowingly getting involved in when they only focus on the great reset and the whole tyrannical leftist/communist/zionist NWO agenda. They do not even realize the full scope of what they're gradually aligning themselves with. People who hyper-fixate on the obvious dark side believe they're revealing the impending kingdom of the beast, but in reality, they're actually uncovering the harlot, the very adversary that the beast is destined to destroy as told in Revelation 17:16. That explains why many people, including dominionist proponents of the NAR and seven-mountain mandate, like Lance Wallnau from Bethel Church, often emphasize the idea of "invading Babylon", which he wrote a book about. Because, in essence, what they're building isn't the millennial kingdom of Christ but rather a counterfeit version of it by defeating Babylon and inadvertently ushering in the beast. The world's current turmoil: moral decline, societal upheaval, and the emergence of charismatic leaders promising restoration, isn't new, it's a repeat of history and biblical narratives. This scenario often splits into two camps: those pushing boundaries towards blatant immorality and those advocating for a return to moral and national pride, albeit sometimes through questionable means. Consider Jezebel's story as a metaphor for today's extreme immorality, countered by a force that, while claiming to champion morality, mistakenly aligns with spiritual adversaries in a false unity known as ecumenism. Jehu's story in the Old Testament is a fascinating case of the difference between outward actions and inner spiritual commitment. Externally, Jehu appeared passionate about serving God, notably in his actions against Ahab's family, Jezebel and Baal worship, which might seem like true righteousness. Yet, Jehu's heart wasn't completely devoted to God. His main issue was his selective enthusiasm: he was eager to get rid of God's foes but failed to address the need for his own spiritual purification and that of Israel. Jehu's neglect becomes clear with his acceptance of the golden calf idols in Dan and Bethel. These idols, created by Jeroboam to keep Israelites from worshiping in Jerusalem, were a major departure from genuine worship. Jehu's decision to let these idols stay showed a compromised version of Judaism—one that appeared to respect God on the surface but was fundamentally flawed. The Antichrist reflects a larger, more deceptive version of Jehu's conflict. He will perform actions that look good, like destroying foreign idols and transparently dark agendas, seeming to follow God's will. Yet, his critical failure, akin to Jehu's, will be in what he neglects. He'll ignore the modern-day "golden calves" — subtler forms of idolatry that are not as easy to spot or discern. These may not be as obvious as the overt darkness of Mystery Babylon but are just as offensive to God. This misleading form of Christianity, similar to Jehu's insincere Judaism, will display an outward show of being righteous by targeting external foes while neglecting the deep, inner changes true faith demands, such as the need for sincere repentance and humbling of the heart. It serves as a powerful call for ongoing self-reflection and realignment with God's will, demonstrating that real righteousness involves not just fighting visible wrongs but also facing and rejecting the subtler forms of idolatry that can seep into our lives without us realizing it. This eerily mirrors the Weimar Republic, a period before Nazi Germany, where a struggle between societal depravity and a flawed sense of virtue set the stage for disaster. Jehu's and Jezebel's biblical showdown, where Jehu becomes a vessel of judgment against Jezebel, parallels the rise of figures like Hitler. Hitler, driven by a distorted zeal, identified Judah as the enemy, which history is poised to repeat through unveiling the dark agendas of Mystery Babylon, Jerusalem. Today, we see a cultural war marked by extreme stances on issues like LGBT rights, violence, racism, and especially abortion, which are akin to Jezebel's overt wickedness. The real threat lies not just in the cultural shift towards immorality but in the response it provokes—an ecumenical movement that, though aimed at combating immorality, risks aligning with deceit, setting the stage for the rise of the Antichrist kingdom, a counterfeit kingdom of God as imagined by humanity through defeating Mystery Babylon, which will be misperceived as Satan's ultimate empire. This figure will likely emerge, claiming to oppose these immoral forces, only to lead people into a new and subtler form of idolatry, much like Jehu's false zeal. There's something about standing up against these glaringly obvious social wrongs and oppressive forces that really inflates one's ego. The more time you spend hyper-focused on obvious evils and tyranny the more you'll start to feel not so evil, just like the Pharisee in Luke 18. He convinced himself he was righteous simply because he wasn't as bad as "those other people." Another lesson from history, like King Ahaz's unholy alliance with Assyria, warns us against forming alliances with spiritual enemies for worldly security against physical threats that stem from fearing the world, rather than fearing the Lord. At its heart, the Red Heifer ceremony is more than just a ritual; it's a chapter in the bigger story of faith and prophecy that's been unfolding throughout human history. It's a sign to look inward, to really think about where we stand and what we believe in. It's a pivotal moment that challenges us to choose: Do we follow the path of patience, perseverance, repentance and not following the world's desire for peace and safety as Jesus says, or do we get lost chasing shadows? As we make our way through these stormy times, let's hold tight to the promise of a redemption that goes beyond the chaos surrounding us. Please pray on all of this, my brothers and sisters. May God bless each and every one of you.

A teeny tiny notice before I proceed with my analysis. If you have a problem with either Cihan or Alya, don't bother reading. Because I don't take sides. I don't watch or think or write through the lens of Alya vs Cihan. Both characters are dear to me. And, if that's the way you roll, by all means, proceed. Analyzing Episode 36. Season 2 aka Of Strengths, Weaknesses, and The Last Nail in the Coffin Evvveeettt. Another episode, another meltdown. Just another day in the CihAl fandom. Ngl, it took me two days to even think about writing my regular analysis post, because the negativity was more potent than usual. Or maybe my resistance is waning, who knows? But that's not what we're gonna focus on today. This day, we analyze the words and actions of the heart and soul of Uzak Sehir, aka Alya and Cihan Albora. But we'll do so within the framework of strengths and weaknesses, because to me, that's what really comes to the fore in ep36. Alya Albora Alya Albora was especially heartbreaking this episode. And coming from someone who gets their heartbroken regularly because of Alya, that's saying something. The episode starts with the zombie-man opening his eyes (I think this PoS is just lying there pretending to be a vegetable, but that's for another time). And the look Alya has on her face when she looks at Cihan is indescribable. Almost as if everything inside her is pleading, 'Please don't regress back to where we just came from.' Because she fears, even as she tries to check on the zombie, that the closer Frankenboran gets to waking up, the further Cihan will drift from her. And, to an extent, her fears are proven right when Sadakat brings up divorce again. See, Alya doesn't come from strong family roots. She believes her biological mother abandoned her for most of her adult life. Then she has Caroline, who tries to fill all the empty spaces abandonment leaves in little Alya, but doesn't manage to succeed too much. As I've said before, Alya's primary fears stem from being abandoned and being a burden. That's what she tries to protect herself from. Those walls around her heart are in place to keep her from suffering that same pain again. That's both her strength and her weakness. While the fear pushes Alya to love harder, to push past difficulties, to rise from the ashes over and over, it also makes her more aloof. She doesn't find it as difficult as Cihan to leave behind 'family' ties because she's never experienced just how forceful those bonds can be. When it falls to her to choose between her love for Cihan and whatever she had with Boran, she picks the former without much guilt. But there's another factor that helps keep her from feeling much remorse for Boran, and that's the way her former husband treats her. Before Alya finds out about the will, her anger at Cihan is at an all-time high, and there's no question of any relationship developing between the two. After the will, however, that's a different story. So, when it falls to her to choose, she can do so easily, with her conscience at rest. And we see that so clearly in the way she announces she won't return to Boran even when he wakes up. Now, let's focus on the tricky bit. The weaknesses. Because Alya fears being a burden, being imposed on someone, adding to their strain, anything other than clarity can't help but raise doubts. When Cihan doesn't answer her question of 'Where will you stand?' with a clear with you or with you, distrust raises its ugly head. She starts asking herself if their relationship is what Cihan really wants now that Boran is back in the picture. She starts wondering whether Cihan will be able to shoulder the burden their relationship will add to his already weighed-down shoulders. It's harrowing to watch her be drawn to Cihan one instant, and pull back the next. Not because she doesn't love him, but because she can't bear to be another weight on Cihan's existence. That's what we see when she's shivering with fever. She wants him close, but she also doesn't want him to suffer. She keeps asking Cihan to leave, but he refuses to budge. And, that cures and hurts at the same time. For some reason, when she says, 'I'm also trying to find a way,' I couldn't help but feel that a part of her is already reverting back to the old Alya. The longer Cihan refrains from giving Alya a clear answer, the more her doubts grow. The more their 'impossibility' takes over her love. The closer she grows to wanting to leave. This time, if she attempts to leave, it won't be because her feelings overwhelm her. It'll be because she can't bear to see Cihan hurt anymore. Cihan Albora Oh boy. I can already hear the jeers of 'coward' and 'gavat' (which, by the way, I find to be a really ugly word) ringing in my ears. Well, fcuk that. Let's get back to our analysis. I talked about how Cihan seems to be stuck between suppression and surrender when it comes to his guilt. And, I did think that almost losing Alya would break that spell. But, clearly, that's not the road that Gulizar wants to take. Perhaps she does want it to come down to conflict. I'm not sure yet. What I am sure of is that Cihan is already aware of what he wants. And it's not wanting to be BFFs with Boran at the expense of Alya, guilt be damned. You can see it in the way his answers get bolder every time Sadakat asks him about a divorce. This episode is the first time Cihan states outright that the burden of 'conscience' isn't his to bear because he merely did what Boran asked of him. In other words, he didn't plan on falling in love with Alya, but it happened, and if there's any blame in that, it's not on him or Alya. Here's what irks most people. He doesn't ever talk about what he wants. It's always 'What if Boran wants this' or 'What if Boran wants that.' In other words, it's a form of misdirection on his part. He knows what's in his heart, but he doesn't want to say it out loud. Another scene where you can clearly see what his choice will be is when he's taking care of Alya during her fever. The more Alya insists that he leave, the more he digs in his heels. Until finally, he says, 'I won't allow anyone to hurt you, I won't allow anyone to harm you, and that's how it will be until I draw my last breath.' People don't say things like. 'That's how it'll be as long as I live,' if they're not sure about what they want. This is Cihan's strength. His love, protective instincts, and his code of sticking up for the people he loves. Unfortunately, like Alya, that's also his weakness. Cihan's been trained to fight for his family and his people to his very last. And, that's one HUGE reason why he can't verbalize what's already screaming inside his mind and his heart. We know he can't live without Alya, he says as much in the last episode. He keeps buying time because he knows once he states those words - there's no turning back. And he knows exactly how ugly things could go because dealing with ugly has been his entire existence. People won't be kind to him or Alya in the place where they live (think back to how Demir sends his goons to insult Alya's mom). And besides all that, what if Boran doesn't want to let go? That's when shit will truly hit the fan, because once Cihan says he's with Alya, he'll be fighting his brother, standing up to his mother, breaking his family apart, endangering Albora with internal strife, and worst of all, risking Alya and Deniz's safety. And remember, unlike Alya, who can control her conscience because of an extenuating factor, Cihan has no such relief. So, what you see is a man trying to survive an impending hurricane in a straw hut. He knows when that storm hits, and it will, things will go to hell. Besides all that, there is his stupid conscience that just won't shut the hell up because of that code of his. To me, that's not cowardice. That's a man standing at the edge of a life-changing truth, and being undone by the gravity of it. It's almost as if his soul is negotiating with reality, hoping to avoid collateral damage, while grieving for the version of himself he knows won't survive after he states his truth. As we can see in the scene where he and Alya are saying goodbye, they're already a family. His heart has already made the choice, so much so that in that scene, even Sadakat and Nare see the invisible bonds tying Cihan to Alya and vice versa. It's not a question of if, merely when. The Last Nail in the Coffin The question on everyone's mind is, what will it be? The last nail in the coffin of Cihan and Boran's brotherhood. The point of no return. To me, the way things are shaping up, there will be a clash. Will the showdown happen when Boran wakes up, or will Cihan learn the truth about his brother and finally be set free? I don't know. I've always had the inkling that Boran isn't what he claims to be. I guess we'll find out soon. But until then, I'll be watching. Gladly. For both my babies. Till next time, happy reading, y'all. #CihAl #UzakŞehir

I am leaving San Francisco. My heart is broken... Thank You Gavin Newsom, London Breed, Scott Wiener, Connie Chan, Jennifer Friedenbach, Aaron Peskin, Dean Preston, Hillary Ronen, Myrna Melgar and all the other leftist anti-American politicians who destroyed one of the greatest cities in history. San Francisco used be to the most beautiful city in the world... Now how can I build a life for myself in this city, let alone start a family, with all this chaos, corruption, incompetence and lawlessness that plagues our community? I gave this city everything I had. Years of my life, my safety, my money, my energy. I fought for it. I poured out my blood, sweat and tears for it. I stayed when almost everyone else left. And now in order to save my own life, I must make the painful decision to leave. I don't want to go but I have to... Our government is corrupt to its core... leftist reptilians in suits who keep the chaos alive because it keeps their donors and “nonprofits” flush with cash. Our streets look like a third world country... open air fentanyl markets, tents everywhere, human feces, needles, trash piles and bodies on sidewalks. It’s not “progressive.” It’s a collapse. My family and friends? Most of them are gone either they left or they died here. None of my family and friends want to visit me and that's because traveling to San Francisco has become risky. Nobody wants to jeopardize their car or see the humanitarian crisis happening on the sidewalks. The cost of living is skyrocketing. Our wages stagnate and jobs are disappearing to robots and immigrants. You can’t afford to exist in San Francisco unless you’re already rich. I don't want to live paycheck to paycheck. I deserve to enjoy the fruit of my labor. I am paying the highest rates in the country for the least representation as our infrastructure falls apart... aging pipes, crumbling roads, power outages and the constant threat of The Big Earthquake. Our economy has hit terminal velocity. Businesses are fleeing, stores are closing and the tech bros who once promised utopia have replaced themselves with AI and automation. Now they’re laying their own people off while the executives hide behind private security. Illegal immigrants are prioritized over American citizens... luxury hotels, gift cards, free services, while our veterans sleep in the rain and our own homeless get ignored. Every single night my car is either ticketed, towed, broken into, or all three. These people openly prefer socialism and communism over conservatism. They say it with pride. And if you’re straight, white, male, or Christian? They hate you on sight. They treat you like you’re the enemy. No subtlety, no shame. The women here are in constant fight-or-flight mode. They only feel safe dating millionaires. The dating scene is a nightmare. I’m a good looking guy who knows how to talk to women, I do better than most guys and even I can’t get a real date without some woman asking how much money I make. How about, "How's the weather"??? The nightlife is dead. All my favorite bars, clubs, and restaurants have shut down. The few that are left charge $20 just to walk in, then another small fortune for drinks that taste like regret. The local newspapers are pure far left propaganda. If you’re a good guy who votes red and risks your life to stop a restaurant robbery... and actually thwarts the robber... they’ll still paint you as the villain. I’ve seen it happen to me and others. The coroner’s office can’t even keep up with all the goddamn bodies. They mix up the names of dead people with living ones, misidentified remains and dumped corpses in the bay because there’s just simply no room left anywhere else. Fentanyl is showing up on playgrounds and in schools. Public schools are indoctrination factories that teach kids to hate their own country while test scores plummet and parents pull their children out in record numbers. Scott Wiener wants kids who don't even know their ABCs and 123s to change genders and hide secrets from Mom and Dad. Leftist educators are predators. And algebra has become illegal. The public library has become a daytime drug den and homeless shelter, where you can’t even use the bathroom without stepping over people shooting up. Our parks and beaches are littered with human waste, stolen bikes, and abandoned tents... places that used to be beautiful are now no go zones. I need to escape the containment zone. The city’s budget is billions in the red and yet for some reason they keep spending on “equity” programs and luxury accommodations for non citizens while basic services like street cleaning and pothole repair are neglected. Mental health services are a joke... people in crisis are left to wander the streets screaming and the only “help” they get is a tent and a government-issued crack pipe. Yeah that'll help them. Crime statistics are deliberately underreported or reclassified so politicians can claim “declining crime” while residents live in fear. The city’s water supply is contaminated with everything from lead to fentanyl runoff, people are calling themselves "chemical babies" and they still charge premium rates for this water. San Francisco’s “progressive” housing policies have made it impossible to build affordable homes, leaving thousands sleeping in cars or on sidewalks while empty luxury units sit vacant. The transit system is a rolling mobile open air asylum disaster... buses and trains are filthy, unreliable, and unsafe, with assaults and thefts happening daily. I don't even want to talk about the things I have expirienced on the san francisco train. I have seen drug addicts fornicating, homeless people overdose, criminals fleeing the law, people using fentanyl, people pooping and peeing, families being attacked by violent lunatics, yeah, that San Francisco train is giving New York City's subway a run for their money. Animal control is nonexistent. Where is PETA when you actually need them? All these abused stray dogs, raccoons and abandoned pit bulls roam free while people get attacked in broad daylight. Roving packs of cayotes in San Francisco abandoned downtown financial district. Empty Skyscrapers and packs of Cayotes and we still vote Democrat. The city’s fire department is chronically understaffed and underfunded, yet they prioritize “climate justice” training over basic firefighting readiness. Streetlights are burned out for months at a time, leaving entire blocks in darkness while car break ins and assaults spike. The city refuses to enforce basic but will ticket you for the wrong color license plate frame. San Francisco’s “sanctuary city” policies have turned it into a magnet for international criminal , while local police have their hands tied by progressive DAs who refuse to prosecute. Even if they do, the judge just releases them the next day, The air quality is toxic from wildfires, encampment fires and unchecked drug use, yet they lecture residents about carbon footprints. The city’s recycling and composting programs are a farce... I used to work at the landfill... most of it ends up all mixed together in the landfills anyway, while residents are fined for using the wrong bin. Public restrooms have all been closed down because of the homelessness and fentanyl crisis in our community. Most bathrooms are permanently locked or destroyed, forcing people to defecate in alleys and doorways because the city won’t maintain them. Our local leaders fly private jets to climate conferences while telling citizens to stop driving gasoline powered cars. The city’s permitting process is so slow and expensive that small businesses die waiting for approval, while big developers get fast tracked. San Francisco’s “defund the police” experiment left the department gutted, morale crushed, and response times so slow that people just stop calling 911. When my front door got kicked in by burglars, I had to fight them off with my two hands because I didn't have a gun. When I called 911, I got a voicemail and told to leave a message at the beep. The city’s “equity” hiring practices have filled critical departments with unqualified people who prioritize ideology over competence. Not being white shouldn't be the only qualification somebody needs to get hired. Rat infestations are so bad that they’re now considered “wildlife” and protected, while residents wake up to rodents in their kitchens. The city’s homeless “outreach” teams hand out tents and needles but refuse to enforce any rules, turning public spaces into permanent encampments. Emergency rooms are overwhelmed with overdoses and psychiatric cases, forcing regular patients to wait hours or leave untreated. The city’s tourism board still markets San Francisco as a “world class destination” while tourists get robbed in broad daylight and leave traumatized. This isn’t the San Francisco I grew up loving. The city council spends more time debating pronoun policies and symbolic resolutions than fixing the actual problems residents face every day. Public art grants go to waste on virtue signaling artists instead of actual talented artists, while classic statues and monuments are removed or defaced for being too white". Street vendors operate illegally without permits, selling stolen goods and counterfeit items while legitimate businesses are crushed by regulations. Often times the fence guys are standing next to the fentanyl dealers. Fent is $3 a gram, cheaper than a loaf of bread, a gallon of milk and a gallon of gasoline. San Francisco’s “climate emergency” declarations come with more regulations and fees, yet the city does nothing to help Mother Nature. Look at The Great California Delta. It is dying. The public health department pushes endless vaccine mandates while ignoring the overdose epidemic killing thousands every year. All the while Gavin Newsom eats at the french laundry without a mask. The city’s “zero waste” goals are a joke... trash piles up faster than ever while residents are lectured about single use plastics. The board of supervisors routinely votes to protect drug dealers from prosecution while residents are left to deal with the consequences of their leniency on international criminals. Makes you wonder if they are being bribed or blackmailed? Our city’s “sanctuary” policies extend to protecting violent criminals, as long as they claim asylum or fear deportation. The SFPD has been reduced to a skeleton crew, and when they do respond, they’re often told to stand down to avoid “escalation.” The city’s homeless czars make six figures while sleeping in a luxury apartment, yet can’t explain why tent encampments keep growing. They are disconnected from the people they are supposed to help. Women disappear from the streets for days or weeks at a time, or sometimes never to return, only to turn up dead or never turn up at all, yet the city barely investigates missing persons cases anymore. Walking around downtown San Francisco, there are new missing women flyers every week. It is very disturbing. I might be silenced for discussing this one topic. Homeless women and children are left vulnerable in encampments with no protection, while predators move freely among the tents and no one intervenes. I shouldn't be seeing family units living on the streets but I am and across the street are billionaire tech offices. Theft is so normalized that people openly smash windows in broad daylight, grab packages off doorsteps and walk away with bikes while residents watch helplessly. No house or apartment is ever really safer. Shoplifting gangs hit stores multiple times a day, loading up carts and walking out without consequence, leaving retailers to eat the losses. Shelves are empty. You would think people are preparing for the apocalypse. Nope. THEY ARE SELLING THE STOLEN ITEMS TO BUY FENTANYL. Theft of catalytic converters, car batteries, and even entire vehicles has become so common that insurance companies are dropping coverage for entire neighborhoods. Good luck getting car or home insurance in California. I’m not abandoning San Francisco. I fought every day for years to save the city. Now I'm choosing to live. I’m moving somewhere I can breathe, build, create and follow my American Dream. Hope you understand. I can't keep living like this in this modern Sodom and Gomorrah.
