The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition
A law passed by the state legislature and signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) in 2021 is set to take effect in the new year , mandating “gender-neutral” toy sections in large toy retail stores. As the Washington Examiner reported after Newsom signed the bill, “Retail stores that fail to comply with the mandate risk being penalized with $250 fines for initial violations and $500 fines for all subsequent violations.”
Where does the California legislature and their Brylcreem boy in the governor's mansion get the authority to dictate how stores set up their sales displays? Is this some imagined power, or does the California Constitution actually grant complete control over private industry? Never mind...don't answer that question. With an unassailable majority in the legislature, the Democrat/socialist junta can do whatever the f*ck they please, and be damned with those pesky and outdated ideas of freedom and liberty.
“Keeping similar items that are traditionally marketed either for girls or for boys separated makes it more difficult for the consumer to compare the products and incorrectly implies that their use by one gender is inappropriate,” the legislation says . The lawmakers who advanced this bill were very clear that gender ideology was driving their decision-making. “The segregation of toys by a social construct of what is appropriate for which gender is the antithesis of modern thinking,” said Assemblyman Evan Low, who sponsored the bill. “We need to stop stigmatizing what’s acceptable for certain genders and just let kids be kids.”
Social engineering! Ain't it grand! And by an entitled little snot who is, of course, "openly gay!" Because that is just so brave and special in California in 2023. What's next? Maybe Evan Low can mandate a certain percentage of dolls must have epicanthic folds? And how about breasts AND a penis? Wouldn't that be even more inclusive? How about interchangeable genitalia for the gender-fluid kids? But in the end, the people of California have voted for this sh*t, and they are getting what they deserve. One day the remaining Californians will wake up and discover that the conversion of what once was the greatest state in the nation into a third-world shithole...with walled communities, a subservient underclass, no middle class, rampant crime, no functioning infrastructure, and no recourse to the rule of law...will be complete, and there will be nothing they can do about it. It would take a heart of stone not to laugh!

Um, when have toy sections *not* been gender neutral?
Never seen a section called "Girls Toys" or "Boys Toys" they just group them by toys typically liked by either sex. No one is stopping anyone from browsing or buying from any toy section -- there's no "You Must Be A Boy to Purchase a Lego Set" or "You Must Be A Girl to Purchase a Doll" rules of signage, for pete's sake. Kids have been enjoying whatever toys they like, from whatever aisle, forever.
This stupidity is so affected it's insulting.
This is not even a silly "first world problem," this is an imaginary problem that everyone knows is an imaginary problem that insists we should all take seriously.
No clothes on that emperor Newsom.

Just as a reminder:
A French national railroad company left California’s high-speed rail project to pursue other work in North Africa — and has already completed a project in Morocco.
SNCF, the French national railroad, was one of the original operators to come to California in the early 2000s to help develop the state’s “bullet train” that would run from San Francisco to Los Angeles. The rail company, however, opted to leave for the war-torn, yet “less politically dysfunctional,” North African country.
“There were so many things that went wrong,” SNCF Project Manager Dan McNamara told the New York Times. “SNCF was very angry. They told the state they were leaving for North Africa, which was less politically dysfunctional. They went to Morocco and helped them build a rail system.”

Quibbling perhaps, but I've heard people say "It's not Wokeness, it is (social?) Marxism". But that is not it either, imo.
"Woke" is a tactic of the Commie/Marxist/Oligarch attack on free peoples everywhere. It may have first come out of the USSR, with efforts to undermine the family and Christian values (the foundation of America the Beautiful). Or much earlier, the "Red" influencers infiltration of Lincoln and his cabinet. (or before that, but I don't have the history chops to speak to that).
"Woke" is a weapon of mass destruction ... the "commies" don't have it in their own countries (much), it is a weapon meant to destroy societies. And not foolish, but very effective. (yes, most of the people that worship Wokeness are foolish, but they are the controlled masses).

Not unprecedented. South Africa has a scheme they call "Black Economic Empowerment," or BEE. BEE rules do things like this - some number of managers, directors, etc. must be black if the company is to operate in the country. They impose these requirements on foreign firms looking to do business in ZA.
One foreign firm that refused to bend the knee is - in a dramatic example of irony - Starlink. Starlink is not for sale in Musk's birth country - a country that desperately needs a grid-independent communications system because of how disastrous all the rest of the policies are - because it does not conform with BEE rules.

Woke is woke, and it's called that because it isn't exactly the other things. There are of course similarities with the others, but is its own thing, developed by western academics for subjugation in the west.

One foreign firm that refused to bend the knee is - in a dramatic example of irony - Starlink. Starlink is not for sale in Musk's birth country - a country that desperately needs a grid-independent communications system because of how disastrous all the rest of the policies are - because it does not conform with BEE rules.

It usually *is* broken out informally. The Disney Princess and Barbie sections are for girls, and will be near other girly toys. The Lego and action figure sections are for boys, and will be near other boy toys.

I think the Tamiya Corp. from Japan, and maybe some other companies, still make 1/35 scale model kits of WWII German Panzers and other equipment. Each usually comes with one or two scale soldiers. Of course you have to paint and assemble the models, which is not immediate gratification for the youngsters like already complete figures and toys, but it's still possible.

Because most retailers assign shelf space to brands, and places brands together per their agreements with the brands. The parent going to buy some Legos for Junior might also see them for Juniorella, or Juniorella's parents will go looking for the Princess Lego.
But generally, the point will hold. More girly stuff together, more boy stuff together. There will always be intra-brand crossover and adjacent shelves.

I doubt this has anything to do with politics and everything to do with money. LexisNexis probably didn't want to pay the price demanded by WaPo, and so the content was pulled.
Like when Disney-owned channels were pulled from Charter over a price dispute earlier this year. Like that case, LexisNexis and the WaPo will probably reach an agreement - or LexisNexis users will discover that they don't miss the WaPo archives and so WaPo will just permanently lose the revenue. I suspect the former.

Yes - but shockingly, it turns out that brands target certain markets, and so will lend themselves to thematic placement in the stores. It isn't a formal "boy section" and "girl section," but they're often distributed roughly along those lines because it makes sense to do so.

I had one of their .45s! Plus a lot of the Mattel Shootin' Shell pistols, the Single Action Army revolver and "Detective" snub-nosed .38, the Winchester '73 rifle, and even the "Rolling Block" rifle. My brother and I quickly lost the little "bullets," the gray plastic noses that clipped into the brass cartridge and which flew from the barrel when the hammer hit the cartridge -- much like the real thing. But we continued to put the little bang caps on the empty cartridges and happily blasted away.
Never for a second did I ever want a Barbie doll or even a Ken.

It's the only role Penn was mean to play because it's perfect for him.
The movie is a cult classic, but based in a California high school, so there's teenage sex, abortion and drugs.
Overall, watchable, even if for only to get some of the jokes of the horde, since there's a few in there.

Something like increased influence within their borders for decreased influence outside of them, such as:
A city-state is allowed to send representatives to the state legislature, but they are not allowed to vote for governor. In order to vote for governor, a city-state must abandon its mantle as city-state.
A city-state's internal powers will include things like complete control of every aspect of human life, if they so choose.
I dunno. I just shat it out.

As with gun laws and abortion laws, I wonder just how the federal government manages in intervene in ("sovereign") state laws. It has been explained before here, in comments, but I forget those SCOTUS details.
I think "they" somehow managed to include the Bill of Rights as a limit on "State Sovereignty". Not sure what the "right" position is on that, but being stuck in Marxist run Illinois, am hoping for SOTUS intervention on the current "register your AR-15" law.

A new (Tranny Tyranny, natch) HHS Rule by The Junta would effectively ban Christians, Jews, Muslims, and literally All Sane People from participating in fostering and adopting children .
The rule would require foster or adoptive parents to support a child’s gender “transition.” The caretakers would have to affirm a child’s preferred pronouns, their “chosen name,” and “allow the child to dress in a way that reflects that gender identity.”
"GOP Rep. Jim Banks (IN) has unveiled a new bill that would cut off federal funding for child welfare agencies who discriminate against Christians and other people of faith."

Maybe a good topic for your next post here? In my view, destruction of the family was a theme of the 60's -- free love, turn on, tune out, drop out, or whatever. The trans crap (and global warming, and the rest) is just the crazier end of the road development. I don't see anything about Woke that is so unique, except it is gaining "critical mass" to be its own religion.

As with gun laws and abortion laws, I wonder just how the federal government manages in intervene in ("sovereign") state laws. It has been explained before here, in comments, but I forget those SCOTUS details.
I think "they" somehow managed to include the Bill of Rights as a limit on "State Sovereignty". Not sure what the "right" position is on that, but being stuck in Marxist run Illinois, am hoping for SOTUS intervention on the current "register your AR-15" law.

Soldier and war toys were big until the late '60s, when the Vietnam protests began. Of course by that time I was in high school and had no interest in such toys, but everything in media had shifted to "War is not good for children and other living things" and "What if they gave a war and nobody came?"
Now that you mention it, I don't recall "Jap" or "Nip" soldier figures offered by Marx or other toy companies. American and German, and of course we had Western figures with cowboys and Indians galore. But no Japanese. Aurora and other companies did issue the Japanese Zero plane as a model kit, but the German Focke-Wulf and Messerschmitt were much easier to find.

then, if someone complains that all the "boy's toys" are together, tell them they are mistaken, those are the girl's toys and vice versa.

U-Haul Index.
26' "Super Mover" truck for a one-way move, pick up on January 6:
San Jose to Atlanta: $6,181
Atlanta to San Jose: $3,415
The theme applies generally. Outbound from CA is expensive as shit regardless of destination. Inbound to CA is much cheaper regardless of origin. U-Haul - that is, middle-class moves - is almost all outflow and the company will give you the truck at damn near cost just for driving it to CA for them. Same for places like Denver.

Figures: Nowadays they are marketed as "action figures," but in the early '60s Hartland had a whole range of Western TV heroes in plastic, painted, many of them mounted on a horse. There was also the Gunslinger line, standing figures with swiveling arms and detachable hats and guns. Paladin, Wyatt Earp, Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, Jim Hardie, Dan Troop the Lawman and his deputy Johnny McKay.
The best was Bat Masterson: He not only had his derby hat, but a crossdraw holster with his gun, and his silver-headed cane!
I had most of the range, and my mother kept them in storage until her passing. I kick myself every day that I didn't take a few of them with me.

U-Haul "local" moves (which is what you're describing) are paid by the day plus miles.
$50/day plus $1.20/mile. So assuming eight days - tight, but doable - it comes to $7,540.
Conversely, doing the same move from Atlanta would cost $40/day and $0.99/mile - or a total of $6,260. It is not quite enough cheaper to fly out and do it that way, assuming zero time cost.

They really expect the products to be randomly distributed throughout the store?
Traditional layout is just fine -
Toys in pink boxes in aisles starting at that end, toys in blue boxes starting over there... stuff in green/yellow boxes in the middle.
Sometimes broke by age group too...

If that's the case for liquor stores in SC, I've never seen one take advantage of it. All closed at 7.

They all close at 7 and are closed on Sundays.
At least in NC, they're open past 7.

I had most of the range, and my mother kept them in storage until her passing. I kick myself every day that I didn't take a few of them with me.

I remember the Bat Masterson TV show, starring Gene Barry, who was a classy actor, IIRC. Seems it tends to get forgotten a lot, scarcely ever mentioned here. And I think there was a real historical sherriff Bat Masterson?

There is so much of California that is not what you see on TV. You would not regret visiting, unless maybe your dream is to walk the streets of Oakland.

Grit is showing the episodes on weekday afternoons. Yes, William Barclay "Bat" Masterson was a real person, acted as a lawman in Dodge City, knew and worked with the Earps, etc. He wound up his career as a sportswriter, of all things.

Democrat Sen. Chris Murphy claims if Republicans don't give up their push for border security "in the next 24 to 48 hours," then "Russia is going to march into Ukraine" and "China is going to be given a green light to invade Taiwan"

I'm going to have to see your work on that.

Aha, more of that legendarily sneaky Canadian PR.
Bartholomew Masterson was a Canadian. Well, Quebecker.
He covered the Willard-Dempsey fight in Toledo in 1919!

What are "LexisNexis files" in this context?
Most gov't agencies I know use Westlaw, not LexisNexis. Some have both. But most attorney/firms use one or the other, not both.
