    Yep, fuck Irvine. You know you’re in their corporate reach if where you park has dark green striping in the parking lot vs the usual white lines.

    Supposedly the current CEO of the Irvine corp doesn’t like seeing white lines when in his helicopter.

    Ridiculous.

      Wow, TIL. I’ll hold onto that fun fact. I was there against my preferences to go to grad school, which ironically has a fairly good critical class consciousness.

          Yup. In recent years the wealthy immigrant families turned it blue, though. My comment is more that UCI houses a surprising number of marxists (which I guess anything more than one is surprising, lol).

            I was really glad to hear about them getting rent control in Santa Ana, wish I’d gotten in on that lol.

            My landlord at the time was talking about it in a panic when it passed, as if barbarians were at the gates 😂

              Santa Ana is kind of interesting, they’re one of the few places trying to let undocumented people vote in local elections, too. Unfortunatly I don’t know if they were able to, especially now.
