The A's stadium is now such a good deal at ONLY $395M in public funding needed instead of $500M in public funding needed. We should buy the transfer of the team now, they're on sale.

I think this was the plan all along. The rest of it was just bread and circus and now we’re supposed to be happy it’s 395 instead of 500.

I don't have an opinion one way or the other about Jara, except that he has had to deal with a highly disfunctional Board. I'm not sure why anyone would want that job. You start out day one with a bulls-eye on your back

Speaking of CCSD, how many of you parents with kids in the district have kids home today because of the social media threat/hoax? Even if it is a hoax, it was stressful enough–coming on the heels of several domestic terrorist incidents–that my kids asked to stay home. I was not going to invalidate their fear, so they're home today. This is the world we live in now.

I don't practice criminal law; but on it's face a three-year sentence for Ruggs is pretty light, no? Chesnoff really must scare the DA's office.

Question: Person dies. Has an account at Bank A. No beneficiary named. Only child (and presumptive heir) reaches out and says he is the heir. Bank sends him forms to fill out and requests certain documents. After this happens, the decedent's brother reaches out, presumably lies on an affidavit of entitlement and is given the amount in the account. High five figures. Child comes back with the docs and they say, "hey, sorry, we already gave the money to John Doe."

The bank has to have some liability in this situation right? They will of course say that they have no responsibility here and that they have no way to figure out if someone is lying or not, but they undeniably knew about the son. Failure to notate the file or do something to say "hey, there are multiple claims out there" has to be negligence on their part right? Anyone ever deal with a case like this?
