OF THE
TIMES
The Result: The greatest labor arbitrage in history. We sold our factories (production) to buy cheap debt (Treasuries), hollowing out the American working class to pad corporate balance sheets . The China Shock decimated manufacturing communities in ways that economists are still measuring. The promised democratization never came. And the workers who lost their jobs never found equivalent ones.In other words, when the work comes back to America, it will be in the private prisons with workers with no rights and even less expensive than hiring in China or remotely in India (for the tech industry).
The Landmark 2017 Accountability Legislation created a three-part, civilian-led police accountability system in Seattle. Under that system:By Framing it as "activist judges" the effect (optics) is to make it appear that lawyers and judges are the problem, instead of the laws that they must uphold (even if in some cases it is done with fervent zeal in this case)...Musk of course reinforces the activist judge narrative since he is a Technocrat. He doesn't want judges period.
--->The Community Police Commission (CPC) was made permanent and its scope was expanded;
--->The Office of Police Accountability (OPA) was given additional powers; and
--->The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) was created.
Each of these entities has different functions and areas of focus, but all are able to make recommendations to improve policing in the City of Seattle.
The Community Police Commission:
The Community Police Commission empowers the community's voice in the police reform process. The CPC is a diverse coalition of 21 community members. It is designed to be completely independent, from among other things, the Mayor, City Council, and Seattle Police Department (SPD).
Created by the Consent Decree in 2013 and made permanent by the 2017 Accountability Legislation, the CPC reviews and provides input on the police accountability system, police services, and SPD's policies and practices.
Comment: How much more of this kind of violence can society allow?
