I’d honestly like to ask someone in a position of authority here to explain why the thread was shut down in the first place....
Regarding Walmart, General Mills, the MTA, Walmart, or most politicians, you can pretty much talk about them in any context imaginable...... So I don't quite get why discussing the local political scene in Santa Monica is off-limits, especially when we're talking about the biggest retail player in town, that massive state-owned money pit that’s been bailed out a million times over with taxpayer dollars, where local politicians basically act like managers without ever holding a public tender, just so they can hand out director roles on oversight boards to their buddies and relatives like it's nothing.....
