Filming in Los Angeles is at a historic low, with some suggesting the city might go the way of Detroit

Hyperbole a bit? Detroit was entirely reliant in the manufacturing sector, where Los Angeles has a much larger and much more diverse economy.

Soon before his return to the White House, Trump described Hollywood as “a great but very troubled place” and declared that Mel Gibson, Sylvester Stallone and Jon Voight would be his “eyes and ears”, helping to bring it back “bigger, better, and stronger than ever before!”

I hope these three give a press conference together, I can't wait to hear the batshit crazy that comes out of their mouths. They look like death's knocking

The article (and the headline) is about entertainment jobs moving away from Los Angeles to other cities, not about the entertainment industry at large.

Yes, a reindeer standing on one leg would be unusual, and it's the only way they could've survived this 😂

This Practical Engineering video explains the concepts behind how this happened

TLDR: The electricity is trying to flow through the Earth, but a reindeer is a better conductor, so it flows up into the nearest leg and down out the furthest leg. If they were standing on one foot they might've been ok

Acadia is a for-profit, publicly-traded disaster of a mental healthcare company. All of their facilities provide unethical care. Their turnover is universally off the charts because the working conditions are so awful. Every patient and every staff I've ever known who's been through or worked at one of their facilities has nothing but awful things to say.

Only because that's the way the Democratic party decides it is. Republicans don't follow the same practice. These are informal rules agreed upon internally, not anything legally binding

I went into my 403(b) back in February and moved everything into funds with a focus on Europe, Asia/Pacific, and developing markets. My portfolio has significantly outperformed my old US-based funds over the past two months
