    Fire your gov? thats how you get tech back. its economics. it doesnt make sense to build and do business in California. No politics here. just reality of capitalism. Your state is no longer a good business decision.

    2 weeks ago, my wife and me learned that Wallgreens on Market Street closed its doors because of shop lifters while the working calls usually pays for the items they buy.
    So we went to Post Street next to the Union Square and lined up to pay our chosen stuff. Ahead of us was a shop lifter and the security guard only mentioned that he “don’t want to stop the shop lifter because he could be contagious”. We asked the Wallgreens cashier “What is your security guard paid for?”- No response.
    If the city doesn’t punish shop lifters and if they don’t stop drug traffic, there’s no chance for ordinary people to feel safe in downtown anymore. Fentanyl is used everywhere along Market Street and more and more also at Union Square….

Democrats’ historic victories in this week’s U.S. midterm elections could also transform the tech industry.

The public voted on 41 data center-related ballot measures on Tuesday — in all but one, the majority voted to impose more restrictions on data center development. And even when data centers weren’t on the ballot directly, they were a major talking point, with newly-elected Democratic governors and congressmembers likely to support additional regulation.

On the latest episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Kirsten Korosec, Sean O’Kane, and Anthony Ha discuss what the election will mean for the tech industry moving forward — not just when it comes to data centers (which OpenAI is already trying to rebrand), but also increased government scrutiny of Big Tech.

Listen to the full episode to hear more about:

• Whether Google first satellite data center is ushering our orbital data center future
• If major layoffs at design software company Canva and website builder Squarespace can be blamed on AI
• Marvell’s $115 billion acquisition of Lumentum, in one of the largest deals in history
• Why CrowdStrike just acquired of two AI security startups
What NBCUniversal’s investment in Indian microdrama startup Elo • Elo means for the media landscape
